Design and Consultation Services
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to build a couple of raised beds to grow herbs, maybe you want to turn 9 acres of pastureland into a food forest. Or maybe you want to begin farming your own neighborhood.
Whatever you desire, proper planning can make all the difference.

Your location and our schedule will determine our ability to handle your request.
North Metro Atlanta area edible/ permaculture projects will receive priority, and any availability we may have beyond that will go to marginalized/ vulnerable/ at-risk individuals or groups, who will receive special discounted pricing. If you are outside our service area, please find someone in your area to help you.
Here’s what to expect in our design/ consultation process:

For edible landscape design/consultation, we recommend a minimum $500 budget. This service usually includes a sketch and an observation/ recommendation report with some supporting reference materials.
A scaled, measured drawing of a site under 3/4 acre we recommend minimum $1200 (if you have an as-built survey). $2000 without the survey. This includes a more complete site analysis, a b/w drawing, and a XL takeoff of all major components.
Permaculture design usually includes color drawings to illustrate zone analysis mapping, additional site consultation support, and much more detailed reports and takeoffs. It is usually an ongoing relationship/ project, but the starting deliverables can cost between $2 and $3600 for a site between 1/2 and 3 acres.
You can also schedule a site visit here, which may inform your own project.
