Question Answers
Our lawn in Hyattsville has dead, compacted patches. Can you help, or do you only do edible gardens?
Absolutely, we address this common local issue directly. Dead, compacted areas are often a sign of poor soil health and drainage. We don't just resod; we rehabilitate. Our approach involves aerating compacted soil, amending it with organic matter, and replanting with a mix of deep-rooted native plants and hardy ground covers that naturally break up soil, improve water infiltration, and prevent future compaction. This creates a resilient, low-maintenance landscape that solves the underlying problem.
What does your 'stewardship' or landscape maintenance service include for an edible garden?
Our stewardship service is tailored for productive landscapes. Regular visits include seasonal pruning of fruit trees and shrubs, replenishing mulch to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds, and monitoring for pests or diseases using organic management strategies. We also provide guidance on harvesting and, if you have more produce than you can use, we can assist in coordinating donations to local Hyattsville food pantries, ensuring your garden's bounty supports the community.
Do you handle major landscape construction like irrigation or hardscaping?
Yes, we provide full-service landscape construction. This includes installing efficient drip irrigation systems tailored for garden beds, building raised beds for edible gardens, and executing the hardscaping elements outlined in your design, such as pathways or patios. Our construction focus is on creating a functional foundation that supports the long-term health and beauty of your climate-resilient landscape.

We specialize in creating edible gardens and native plant landscapes that are designed for climate resilience. Our process begins with a detailed property assessment, evaluating sun exposure, soil conditions, and water flow to develop a plan that works with your land, not against it. From the initial design through construction and ongoing maintenance, we focus on building healthy soil and selecting plants that thrive in our local Maryland climate. Beyond installation, our stewardship services include regular maintenance visits for pruning, mulching, and organic pest management. A unique part of our mission is helping clients donate surplus harvest from their edible gardens to local food pantries, connecting your landscape directly to the community.
