Transformation Options are Endless...

Sustainable landscapes that support biodiversity can take many forms, but it all begins with recognizing that nature is ready to collaborate with you. By working with, rather than against, natural systems, we design spaces that are both beautiful and ecologically vibrant—where every plant, stone, and pathway serves a purpose in creating a thriving, resilient environment.

Pollinator Gardens, Partial or Total Lawn Conversion

Enhancing spaces for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. A general rule of thumb for sizing grass lawns: "think: small area rugs, not wall-to-wall carpeting!"

Living Spaces integrated into a thriving ecoystem

Design and build outdoor living spaces within landscapes that nourish both people and nature.

Food Forests, Kitchen Gardens, Herbal and Vegetable Gardens

Transform your landscape into a living pantry—where beauty meets bounty, and every season brings fresh flavors right to your table

How Lawn Conversions Work

It's amazing what happens when you help nature help you...

STEP 1: You choose the area or size of your lawn conversion. You choose whether you want to just add some curvature to your lawn or convert the whole thing...you're in the driver's seat.

We'll take it from there. How it works:

Fungal-Powered Lawn Conversion: A Sustainable & High-Value Investment

Overview
Conventional lawn removal can be costly, labor-intensive, and energy-consuming. Our innovative Fungal-Powered Lawn Conversion service offers an eco-friendly alternative that gradually replaces turf with native plants while improving soil health—without heavy machinery or chemical herbicides.

Converting just 500 sq ft of lawn can significantly boost biodiversity, reduce water usage by up to 75%, eliminate pollution from gas-powered lawnmowers, and enhance property value by an estimated 5-15%, according to real estate market analysis.

Why Choose Our Method?

• Energy Efficient: No need for sod-cutting or intensive labor.

• Soil-Enhancing: Mycorrhizal fungi, beneficial microbes, and organic nutrients enrich the soil as the lawn transitions.

• Weed Suppressive: A custom biodegradable proprietary sheet blocks unwanted regrowth while feeding decomposers.

• Water-Saving: Native plants require up to 75% less water than turf grass, reducing irrigation costs.

• Carbon Sequestering: Replacing turf with deep-rooted native plants captures and stores more carbon, helping combat climate change.

• Pollution-Free: Eliminates the need for gas-powered lawnmowers, reducing air and noise pollution while saving homeowners time and effort.

• Higher Property Value: Homes with sustainable landscaping and native plant gardens are increasingly desirable, with studies showing that eco-friendly yards can increase property value by 10-15%.

• Low-Cost & Scalable: More affordable than full lawn removal, with faster results than traditional sheet mulching.

• Aesthetically Flexible: Clients can choose partial lawn retention, integrating native gardens seamlessly.

How It Works

1. Site Assessment – We evaluate lawn health, soil conditions, and client goals.

2. Custom Mulching System – Our pre-treated cardboard sheets, infused with fungal spores and nitrogen boosters, are laid over existing grass.

3. Mulch & Planting – A layer of wood chips or straw is added, and native plant plugs are inserted directly through the sheet.

4. Natural Decomposition – Over time, the grass breaks down into organic matter, boosting soil fertility.

5. Ongoing Support – We provide maintenance guidance to ensure long-term success.
