Regenerative Landscape DesignOur ecologically responsible landscape design service will transform your ho-hum yard or garden into an abundant, flourishing paradise for symbiotic lifecycles.
We don’t just design, we educate. Our clients are left with a diverse set of skills to manage their new design. And unlike conventional landscape designs, especially those including wide expanses of lawn, an Earthius design will, over time, require less and less time and energy to maintain. Our designs are cheaper to install than conventional landscaping, and will incur little to no cost to maintain. Tired of mowing the lawn? Weary of the constant battles with weeds? Want to walk out of your door to a lush assortment of herbs and vegetables you actually want to eat? An ecologically sound design can harvest rainwater, build soil structure and fertility, conserve water, purify runoff, diversify wildlife and habitat, and be incredibly beautiful! Earthius designs can be incorporated on a suburban plot or a large homestead. There are even ways to incorporate beauty, water catchment, and food production in a container garden for apartments and condos! |
