Medicinal garden installed with beautiful stone archway and seat walls, boulder water feature and rain garden.

Food forest garden complete with stone water feature, rain garden, rainwater collection irrigation system, grey water system, galvanaized beds, and permeable pathways - all part of a fire rebuild in 2017.

Outdoor deck space with flagstone patio, stone retaining wall, native slope planting and firepit feature.

Removal of lawn to be replaced by mowable meadow - complete with waterfall pond feature, galvanized beds, and custom fence with decorative panels.

Removal of existing concrete patio and recycling into a new urbanite, permeable, patio space.

Installation of raised vegetable beds, flagstone patio and firepit gathering space - surrounded by grape vine trellis and other edible perennial plants.

Honey Oaks Farm was designed as a highly productive farm with a central swimming pond and cascades of flowing water. Recovered logs from the property frame many of the terraced beds alongside stone steps that lead into a dense forest of native, perennial, annual, and edible plants.

"We are absolutely delighted with the work that Permaculture has done with our Landscape project. Everything has been done with such knowledge, thought, and care. From the original consultation and collaborative planning (and "value engineering") through to completion! The staff are all great and do wonderful meticulous work - going the extra mile. We have appreciated all of Michael's enthusiasm, knowledge and great communication and Rene is an absolute Gem on all levels.”

"We just wanted to let you know how pleased we are to be working with both Julian & Todd. It's been a while now that Permaculture has been working in our yard and we look forward to their every-other-week visits. We don't think of them as maintenance guys but more like our "garden gurus." They are both fonts of knowledge and beyond caring for the yard, they care for us; educating us and continually coming up with new ideas for plants or infrastructure that will make [our property] function better as a food forest.. We really stepped off the deep end when we rebuilt after the fire and decided to have a food forest. We doubt we could have done it without the guidance and support from Permaculture Artisans and now, specifically from Julian & Todd. "

“If you are looking for a permaculture team with great customer service, talent, and efficiency, [Permaculture Artisans] is your stop. I am very pleased with my new rainwater catchment system, downspout redirection, swales for slow water draining from my hill, and general advice. Smart folks.”

"I interviewed three local landscaping firms and was immediately impressed with how well the folks from Permaculture listened and understood what I wanted to do. My front yard is small, and my back yard is tiny. However, Permaculture Artisans gave my job the same professional and thorough attention I imagine they give folks with acres of grounds. The entire crew was fully engaged, and the guys doing the work made a few suggestions which turned out better than my initial design...I have now contracted with Permaculture Artisans for quarterly maintenance so they can fine-tune and service the irrigation system, address issues they discover, and make suggestions to help me keep the plantings alive. I am more than happy with the results, and I would recommend Permaculture Artisans to anyone with any sized landscaping project."

“We have had only great experiences with everyone at Permaculture Artisans. We have used them since last summer for bi-monthly upkeep of our 1/3 acre yard—which has a wide variety of shrubs, fruit trees, flowers, and a small lawn that needs more care than we can provide. We also recently used them to redesign and replant all of the plantings in our front yard—with great results—done on time, at a reasonable cost. We can recommend them highly without reservation.”

"[At Permaculture Artisans] I found a one-stop shopping experience for design, landscape, hardscape, and electrical work to install a fountain. The design of my garden surpassed my expectations. The quality of workmanship was superb. [Project manager] Michael was always responsive to my questions or concerns. Rene, the supervisor kept a good eye on the ongoing work. Nik, Client Relations Manager, also was super responsive and thoughtfully addressed my questions or concerns. Permaculture Artisans employees are passionate about their work. Another cool aspect about them is they provide maintenance of your landscape if you need some help afterwards. Without hesitation, I recommend you give Permaculture Artisans the opportunity to create the landscape of your dreams."

"We are so fortunate to have been working with Permaculture Artisans for almost 2 years now. They have been there every step of the way to help us transform 5 acres of fallow land/invasive shrubs into a beautiful working permaculture farm. Everyone on the team is passionate about what they do and it absolutely shows in their work. We look forward to our continued relationship with them! "

"I encourage anyone needing ecologically minded landscape installation to hire Permaculture Artisans! We worked with their wonderful designer to help us create a great design for a very complex rural water system connecting springs, wells, and storage tanks for two parallel water systems—potable and irrigation. Their installation crew was on time, pleasant to have around, and very responsive to our needs…. They were always most interested in how to make the project what we needed it to be. Their estimates were fair and they did not go over budget. There were no surprises in the cost, which was very important since we were on a budget. This is a very ethical and principled group of people from the laborers to the site supervisor to the general manager."
