Nature Based Garden Design

Uniting the domestic with the wild is to put your faith in the world.

To create and nurture a garden, no matter the scale, is to do a great service.

In fact, it is necessary.

Who we are and what we believe in

Earth & Back is a boutique-style nature-based garden design company committed to a harmonious merger between the client’s vision and the beautification of landscapes.

We keep at heart the ever-important need for ecologically driven choices while playing the role of scientist, architect and artist – we do this without ever compromising aesthetic – we are audacious in our belief that gardens can be as diverse as the imagination allows - and in each of these gardens, in each of our minds, no matter the scope or scale, there are reasons to be hopeful, to smile, to dream. Earth & Back wants to join you on your quest to bring life back to the spaces you call home with a deliberate, thoughtful touch.

What Are Your Needs?

Do you want a specialized garden, or garden beds? A painterly vista? A rain garden? Pollinators in pots? Do you want a wild look or something more intentional?

Sun, shade, moisture, dryness, soil issues —sandy, clay, loamy? Do you have deer, rabbits, moles or voles? How much time and/or resources are you able to devote to maintenance? Why not give yourself something beautiful while knowingly participating in behaviors that directly and immediately transform your property into a biodiversity rich ecosystem.

“I am so delighted to have met Chris. He is so kind, patient and trustworthy. When it came to our garden, we made every single choice together. Our garden is in year two and we’re beginning to see our vision developing. We planted some indigenous Asclepias because I wanted some Monarchs and it wasn’t long before they arrived.”
