Next we observe and map out the existing physical site conditions, and analyze how they interact with your goals.
Ecological Design & Build
Transform your vision into a thriving living landscape. We combine holistic systems planning with professional installation to create abundant, resilient ecosystems. From backyard gardens to regenerative farms, ecological restoration sites to whole municipal watersheds, we thoughtfully plan and craft biodiverse, ecologically resilient and nourishing landscapes.
Good Earth Design Co. is fully Licensed, Bonded & Insured with the Oregon Landscape Contractors Board. LCB #9969
We start with an initial questionnaire and in person site consultation to get to know you and your site.
We meet to go over our findings and start to develop conceptual layout of new design alternatives.
We refine our final design, and layout new water systems, planting plans, accessways and hardscapes.
We work to bring the project to life, based upon available resources, and project needs.
Through continuous land stewardship, we observe, receive feedback and adapt as the ecosystem evolves.
The Process:
1. Intake & Consultation
3. Conceptual Planning
5. Phased Implementation
2. Mapping & Analysis
4. Final Design
6. Feedback & Adaptation
Residential Development
Transforming site-scale backyards and suburban properties into resilient, living abundant environments, these projects integrate aesthetic and ecological elements such as native plants, food forests, edible & medicinal landscaping, raised beds and pollinator gardens. We also incorporate greywater systems, rainwater catchment, drip Irrigation and natural hardscapes like stone retaining walls, fencing, arbors, and trellising. By balancing your personal goals and needs with the ecological health of your specific site, we design and build lush, resilient sanctuaries that you can harvest from and deeply enjoy that simultaneously enhance biodiversity, watershed health and native habitat.
Regenerative Agriculture
For clients looking to develop larger production systems, we provide comprehensive design for homesteads, hobby farms, and full-scale agricultural projects. Through regenerative design, we can build soil health & fertility, increase drought resistance, support carbon sequestration, enhance biodiversity, increase yield outputs & nutritional value, minimize pesticide & herbicide needs, optimize access for equipment and increase overall ecosystem health. . Let us handle the complex, foundational groundwork required to make your land productive and resilient including but not limited to: farm layout, agroforestry integration, water retention earthworks, hedgerow design, livestock integration, soil health management and more.
Ecosystem Restoration Projects
Our ecosystem restoration services are dedicated to the specialized rehabilitation of natural habitats, ensuring your land thrives exactly as nature intended. Acting as certified land stewards, we design targeted interventions to enhance the health of specific regional biomes, such as restoring native oak woodlands, managing complex wetlands, or stabilizing riparian riverbank zones. Whether you are a private landowner looking to revive the wild ecology of your acreage or an organization aiming to increase native biodiversity, we apply targeted ecological strategies to rebuild resilient, self-reinforcing natural systems
Public & Municipal Projects
For towns, city planners, and civic organizations, we design and develop climate resilience plans into physical, on-the-ground reality. We specialize in the design and installation of community-scale green infrastructure—constructing and planting powerful vegetative and ecological systems to directly mitigate urban heat islands, resolve flooding, reduce pollution and restore watersheds. We implement durable, living public works that protect municipal infrastructure, create community resilience while actively enhancing the overall ecosystem health.
