What We Do

Every Service Begins
With the Soil.

From foundational soil analysis to complete ecological garden design and precision irrigation engineering, GreenRoot's services are designed to work together as an integrated system — because your garden is one.

Native plant garden
Service 05

Native Plant Integration

Curated native plant programs that restore biodiversity, support wildlife corridors, and eliminate the need for supplemental irrigation and fertilization once established.

  • Regional native selection

  • Wildlife corridor planning
  • Establishment protocol
  • Year 1–3 care guides
  • Sourcing from certified nurseries
Get Started →
Seasonal garden care
Service 06

Ongoing Seasonal Care

Seasonal site visits and detailed care calendars that keep your garden on track through every phase of the growing year, without reliance on synthetic inputs.

  • Spring prep & soil feeding
  • Succession planting schedule
  • Mid-season assessment
  • Fall soil amendment
  • Winter mulching protocol
  • Annual review & planning

How We Work

Our Four-Phase Process

01

Discovery & Assessment

We begin with a thorough site visit and consultation. We test soil, map microclimates, document existing vegetation, and listen carefully to your vision and goals.

02

Ecological Analysis

Lab results, site data, and client goals are synthesized into a comprehensive site analysis that identifies opportunities and constraints in the existing ecosystem.

03

Design & Planning

We produce a phased implementation plan — plant communities, soil amendment schedules, irrigation design, and care protocols — all reviewed with you before implementation begins.

04

Implementation & Monitoring

We guide implementation and monitor establishment, adjusting care protocols as the garden develops. Most GreenRoot clients notice meaningful ecosystem improvement within the first growing season.

Questions

Frequently Asked

A typical residential design project runs four to eight weeks from initial consultation to final plan delivery. This includes one to two weeks for soil lab results, one to two weeks for site analysis and design development, and one week for client review and plan revisions. Complex or large-scale projects may require additional time.

Yes. GreenRoot serves clients across 32 states. We handle initial site visits in person for clients within the Pacific Northwest and California, and partner with trusted local horticulturalists for site assessment in other regions. Design, planning, and all consultation services are provided remotely for out-of-area clients via video call and our client portal.

Most landscape companies work from plant catalogs and aesthetic preferences. GreenRoot works from ecological first principles — we analyze your soil biology, microclimate, water availability, and local flora before selecting a single plant. We have never recommended a synthetic pesticide or petroleum-based fertilizer, and our designs are explicitly engineered to require fewer inputs and less intervention over time.

Annual plans may be cancelled with 30 days' notice after the initial 12-month commitment period. Month-to-month pricing (20% higher than annual rates) is available for clients who prefer flexibility. All consultations and plans produced during the subscription period remain yours to keep regardless of cancellation.

GreenRoot is a design and consulting practice, not an installation contractor. We provide detailed specifications and contractor bid documents that any qualified landscaping contractor can use to implement your design. For clients in the Portland metro area, we maintain a referral list of pre-vetted installation contractors who are familiar with ecological design specifications.

Results timelines vary by starting conditions and goals. Soil amendment programs typically show measurable improvement in the first growing season, with significant biological transformation in years two and three. New plantings establish rapidly when soil preparation is thorough. Most clients describe visible, meaningful improvement in their gardens within the first six months of following our recommendations.
