How it Works

We'll walk you through the restoration process, no matter the scale.

Most clients move through these steps in order — but you can enter at any point. We move at your pace.

Let's Get Started Assembling Your Project

Intro Call

FREE

This is a great place to start. 30 min. Can call us directly or shoot us an email first. We learn about your land and goals, you learn how we work.

Site Visit

FREE (local)

And this is where we make headway in taking your ideas and creating action items. We come to your property, get eyes on the land, gather what's needed for a quote, bid, or project estimate. Local range spans a 1-hour driving radius from Afton, MN.

Design and Layout

Custom Quote

Water management, perennial system layout, native ecosystem design, master planning. Grounded in real site data. We can craft them, or look at what plans you're already working with.

Installation

Custom Quote

Food forests, native landscaping, tree planting, hardscaping, earthworks, rain gardens... we build what we design, and we can also work with your design team.

Site Assessments and Soil Sampling (optional add-on)

Custom Quote

On-site review of the relationship soil, water and vegetation have to the ecological productivity across food, fuel, fiber, medicine, water, and habitat.

Ongoing Stewardship and Coaching (optional add-on)

from $100/hr

System manuals, maintenance visits, and ongoing coaching so you can tend what we built — for the long haul.

Building something bigger.

We're developing a local abundance network — connecting properties with surplus harvests to neighbors, food banks, and community kitchens. Join the waitlist.
