Ed's Edible Landscaping and Plant Nursery | Professional Landscapers in Juneau, AK

We recommend a mix of hardy native perennials, like salmonberry and lingonberry, and resilient cold-climate edible plants such as kale, rhubarb, and certain berry varieties. These plants are adapted to our wet, freezing winters and bounce back better in spring, reducing the risk of snow and frost damage that more delicate species face.

Proper winterization is key. We design and install irrigation systems with drainage in mind for our climate and can show you how to fully blow out lines before the first hard freeze. For new installations, we often recommend drip irrigation in raised beds, which is easier to winterize and less prone to pipe bursts than traditional in-ground systems.

Absolutely. For Juneau lawns, we focus on repair strategies that work with our climate. This includes core aeration to relieve compaction, overseeding with cold-tolerant grass blends, and amending soil to improve drainage. We also advise on creating strategic, hardy landscaping borders to reduce lawn area where snow tends to pile up and cause the most damage.
