Great landscapes start with great planning. Our consultation and design services are crafted to help you bring your outdoor vision to life—whether it’s reimagining a garden, creating an edible landscape, solving problems like lack of drainage or transforming your yard into the ultimate oasis.
Every garden installation begins with a detailed design plan that ensures your new plants will flourish in your space. Our experienced team prepares your site with care, including amending and grading the soil and improving drainage so your garden looks great and grows well.
We don’t just design and install beautiful gardens, we keep them thriving using environmentally responsible maintenance practices. As a sustainable landscaping company, Green Edens’ approach to landscape care emphasizes chemical-free methods, native plant health, and long-term ecological balance.
Not just plants—we solve property problems, too.

Our team specializes in eco-friendly design that enhances your property while supporting local ecosystems. Let Green Edens transform your outdoor space into a place you’ll love to enjoy!

From Our Clients
—Barbara
"We came to Green Edens with concerns about one particular area of our yard that had consistently flooded. Amy recommended a rain garden installation with native plants that would help alleviate the flooding issues. A year in, we are so pleased not just with the functionality of this new garden, but with the tranquil retreat that Amy and her team created out of a swampy mess! "
—Jessica
"Green Edens is the best! We initially hired them to do a garden reorganization and were so satisfied with their work that we decided to have Amy do a complete design for all of our gardens. It turned out better than we could have imagined. We highly recommend them! Thank you Amy, Dan, Mario and your fabulous crew for all!"
—Judith
"I can't say enough good things about our experience with Green Edens! From the planning process, through design and then installation, communication was excellent and professional. Amy really understood what we were looking for and our new gardens are exceeding my expectations. Even with only a few months of growth, they are looking beautiful. "
