Sustainable Garden Design

& Maintenance

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

Whether you’re considering a particular kind of garden; wish to develop an existing landscape; or want to restore an unruly patch of land, Earth & Back will assist you on your personal journey with a deliberate, thoughtful touch. We believe, first and foremost, that a garden is an intimate, nourishing space – no matter the style or scale – we strive to help bring your impassioned vision to life.

Our objective is to create sustainable, responsible, low maintenance gardens without compromising your aesthetic preferences. We acknowledge that this balancing act requires a union between the existing, natural ecosystem and the cultivated environment that will grow over time.

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.

One Mustn’t be a Purist to Act – Let’s Commit Together

“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.”
