We design landscapes that produce food, build soil, and sustain themselves over time. From backyard food forests to whole-property permaculture designs — rooted in Florida's climate and your soil's biology.
Start the ConversationPermaculture design is not just planting fruit trees. It's designing a complete system — water, soil, plants, wildlife, and human use — so each element supports the others.
A well-designed food forest or permaculture property:
Every design starts with knowing what's actually living in your soil. Jake's Soil Food Web training means we plant what your biology supports today — and build biology toward what you want to grow tomorrow.
Most permaculture designs look beautiful on paper. Ours are built on what we can actually see under a microscope. That changes which plants go in first, what inputs we apply before planting, and how quickly your system establishes.
Five steps from first site walk to a thriving, self-sustaining system — with soil biology guiding every decision.
We start with a site walk and a conversation. What do you want from this land? Food production, privacy, wildlife habitat, beauty — all of the above? What are your maintenance preferences — hands-off or engaged gardener?
We assess sun patterns, existing plants worth keeping, water flow paths, and your soil's current condition.
Jake pulls soil samples and runs a microscope analysis. Your soil's fungal-to-bacterial ratio tells us what it's currently suited to grow — and what biology we need to build toward your goals.
Most food forests thrive in a fungal-dominant environment. We build toward that from wherever your soil starts, with a clear biological roadmap for getting there.
We produce a complete layered planting plan using permaculture's 7-layer model. Every plant selection is Florida-appropriate, sourced locally where possible, and chosen to match your soil biology.
We source plants from local Florida nurseries where possible. Installation is phased over one to two seasons to allow soil biology to establish between plantings.
All beds are prepared with biological inputs from Treasure Coast Compost before planting — bio-complete soil, liquid extract, and biochar in the root zone. Your plants go into living soil from day one.
Year one is the most critical. We provide a written care guide specific to your design, schedule 30/60/90/120-day follow-up visits, and are available for questions throughout establishment.
As the system matures, our involvement decreases — by design. A well-established food forest should need very little from you by year three.
Tell us a little about you and what you'd love to grow. We'll review your answers and reach out to set up a conversation — no commitment, no pressure.

We'll review what you shared and reach out soon to talk about your land.
