Business Overview

Restoring Roots Cooperative is a Jamaica Plain-based landscaping cooperative founded in 2013 by partners dedicated to creating sustainable, edible landscapes and beautiful outdoor spaces. We specialize in client-tailored designs that merge food production with aesthetic living areas, practicing permaculture principles to build resilient, low-maintenance ecosystems. Our work includes everything from garden installation and edible landscaping to the construction of patios, walkways, retaining walls, and irrigation systems, all focused on conserving natural resources and enhancing local biodiversity for homeowners in our community.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you approach common Jamaica Plain landscaping issues like patchy sprinklers and weedy mulch beds?

We address these common local issues holistically. For irrigation, we design efficient drip and soaker systems that deliver water directly to plant roots, eliminating coverage gaps and conserving water. To combat weeds, we use permaculture techniques like sheet mulching and planting dense, ground-covering edible plants, which outcompete weeds naturally and build healthier soil over time, reducing long-term maintenance for your garden.

Can you really design an outdoor space that is both an edible garden and a functional patio or terrace?

Absolutely. Our specialty is integrating food production seamlessly into outdoor living. We design patios, walkways, and seating areas surrounded by—and sometimes incorporating—raised beds, espaliered fruit trees, and edible perennials. This approach creates a beautiful, multi-functional space where you can relax, entertain, and harvest fresh food right in your Jamaica Plain backyard.

What is permaculture design, and how does it apply to a residential landscape project?

Permaculture is a design philosophy that works with nature to create sustainable, self-maintaining ecosystems. For your home, this means we design landscapes that conserve water, build soil health, and increase biodiversity. Techniques include capturing rainwater, choosing native and edible plants that support each other, and constructing features like retaining walls or patios with sustainable materials. The result is a resilient, productive outdoor space that requires fewer inputs and less work over time.
