Whole System Ecological Landscaping

Design + Install + Maintenance

What We Do

PDX Urban Gardens transforms ordinary spaces into productive, multilayered, lower maintenance landscapes using permaculture and agroecology principles to create whole ecological systems.

We integrate learnings from food forestry, deep mulch agriculture, integrated pest management, plant guilds/companions, bioregionalism and more.

Whether replacing a high-maintenance lawn with a pollinator garden, medicinal garden, or food forest, each landscape integrates native plants, water-harvesting systems, and regenerative soil practices to build an ecosystem that thrives with minimal upkeep.

Imagine stepping into a yard filled with perennial flowers, sounds of wildlife, and enough edible abundance you'd be crazy not to share with your neighbors.

How it works

Start with a free 15 minute call

Tell me about your space, goals, and vision. We’ll help you determine the best next step—whether it's DIY guidance, a consultation, or full project support.

Book a Consultation

For a deeper dive, schedule a personalized consultation (virtual or on-site).

This can be used as a standalone conversation about specific plants, a full survey of the entire yard to talk through opportunities, or the initial meeting prior to beginning work on a full landscape plan.

In addition to expert advice, clients will receive educational resources, an action plan, and/or a bid for future work following our meeting.

Lets Design!

Need a detailed landscape design? I’ll craft a plan combining your vision, functional needs, and surrounding ecology.

We will collaborate with you to select the best materials and plants that align with your budget.

Depending on your wants, your final design may include a to-scale computer rendered design, physical drafts, plant list, pictures, a work plan, and/or precise bid for installation. With all the info you can choose to work with us, hire another team, or bring the vision to life yourself.

Install

If you’d like us to bring your landscape vision to life, we'll provide a bid for installation and ensure the right plants, materials, and systems are in place.

Maintenance

Once installed, we will provide a maintenance plan to ensure your new landscape continues to grow its best—whether you handle upkeep yourself or hire us for support.
