Landscape & Gardening

What is a Sustainable Landscape Design?

The process starts with an in-person consultation, where we will walk the property with you to get a feel for the lay of the land and to have an open conversation about what the client's concerns and expectations may be. 'Sustainable' is not a One Size Fits All. Whether you're starting with a clean slate, have a landscaped yard and want something different, want a successful garden, are being overrun by invasive plant species, or have a well-established landscape that you're dissatisfied with, we will take the time to create a thoughtful design that is detailed, personalized and manageable for the client's individual needs.

What is a Permaculture Design?

Similar to the Sustainable Landscape Design, the process starts with an in-person consultation. Blossom & Root's Permaculture designs can consider Zone 0 thru 4, depending on what zone(s) the client would like help with. Permaculture designs can benefit every situation from small farms and homesteads to modern homes and urban living. If you want to make the most of your space, then a permaculture design is extremely helpful to have.
