Living soil.
Every service.

Five programs built around soil biology — for lawns, farms, and landscapes that are ready to stop fighting their soil and start working with it.

Every program starts with a free 20-minute consultation

What we do

Each service is built around Elaine Ingham's Soil Food Web methodology — living biology over chemistry, with results documented under the microscope.

01 · Residential

Biology-Based Lawn Care

Replace synthetic fertilizers and pesticides with living soil biology. We rebuild your lawn's microbial ecosystem and phase down our involvement as fast as your land allows — the goal is a lawn that sustains itself, not one that depends on us indefinitely.

  • 45–60 minute on-property visit with photos and property measurements
  • Grass identification, irrigation inspection, compaction check, and root depth inspection
  • Weed pressure, drainage, and visible plant-stress observations
  • Written soil analysis with a microscope screening of your soil
  • Recommended soil biology treatment plan

Starts with

$85 consultation + soil analysis

Farm Soil Food Web Consulting

Jake runs the microscope work. We assess the actual biology in your soil — bacteria, fungi, protozoa, nematodes — and build a transition roadmap based on what's missing, not what's convenient to spray.

  • Full Soil Food Web analysis with microscopy — not just a chemical panel
  • Written Soil Food Web report — full organism counts, fungal-to-bacterial ratio, and transition roadmap
  • Ongoing quarterly or monthly check-ins as your soil biology rebuilds
  • Input recommendations using TCC biological products

Starts with

$225 per sample

3-sample baseline $675 · home garden sample $125 · ongoing from $350 / quarter

Soil Remediation

Compacted, chemically-damaged, or biologically depleted soil doesn't recover on its own — but it can recover. We assess what's broken, build a phased treatment protocol, and apply the biology needed to restore structure and microbial life over 6–18 months.

  • Assessment: compaction test, soil samples, on-site microscopy
  • Written treatment plan with phased protocol and product specs
  • Application visits — extract, biochar, bio-complete tea applied on-site
  • Monthly monitoring retainer with quarterly re-testing

Starts with

$350 site assessment

Permaculture Design & Food Forests

Design edible landscapes and food forests suited to Florida's climate — using native and adapted species, stacking functions, and soil biology from day one. Every design integrates water, plants, and soil as a system rather than a collection of separate problems.

  • Site assessment and zone analysis
  • Full design with plant species list, layout, and planting calendar
  • Plant sourcing support and installation coordination
  • Ongoing maintenance program available as add-on

Specialty Programs

Commercial & Production Biology

For commercial landscapers, we offer a program built around installation: sentinel-site analysis, a standardized crew protocol, and survival tracking.

Biology Install Programs for Landscapers

We add a biology step at install time on Florida's stripped construction soils. We analyze your sentinel sites, write your crew's standardized install protocol, and track survival data so results are documented, not assumed.

  • Sentinel site analysis — baseline biology across your representative install conditions
  • 6-step crew install protocol — standardized, fast, documented at every install
  • 30 / 90 / 365-day survival rate tracking vs. pre-program baseline
  • Biology enhancement as a billable premium line item for your clients

Starts with

Sentinel site analysis

Lawn Program Rates

What the work costs

Published rates for biology work on Martin County lawns. Every program starts with the $85 consultation and soil analysis — we price the treatment once we know what your soil actually needs, so nothing below is quoted before we have read your soil.

How it starts

Every engagement — lawn, farm, or design project — begins the same way. We talk before we quote anything.

01

Free 20-min call

You describe what you're working with. We tell you honestly whether we can help and what it would involve.

02

Site assessment

Jake comes to you. We look at what's actually in your soil before recommending anything.

03

Program begins

You get a written plan and a clear scope. No surprises on what's included or what it costs.

No pitch. No pressure.

Book your free 20-minute consultation

Tell us what you're working with — your lawn, your farm, a neglected patch of soil you're not sure what to do with. We'll tell you what we'd look at, what it would take, and whether we're the right fit. Free. No commitment.
