Garden Landscaping for Residential Homes and Neighborhoods

For Homes & Neighborhoods

Many homeowners reach out because their landscape has become overgrown, confusing, or hard to keep up with. Beds spill over, shrubs lose their shape, and the property starts to feel like a chore instead of an asset.

 

 For homeowners interested in growing food, we can integrate edible plants into existing landscapes in practical, attractive ways — focusing on long-lived perennials, low-maintenance layouts, and designs that still look like a well-kept yard.

For Businesses

Grow With Gordon works with businesses, offices, and organizations to improve and maintain professional landscapes. Our services focus on landscape refreshes, cleanups, pruning, and site improvements that keep properties clean, intentional, and presentable — without creating an ongoing maintenance burden.

"When I kept hearing about permaculture I did a little research but with a proven history as a plant killer, I decided that letting someone plan this space might be a good choice for me. I found Grow with Gordon online and they were amazing to work with. Jim and Tiolas really listened to what I wanted out of the space. They helped me plan what I wanted with some easy options that allowed me to choose some of my favorite plants. They also came up with a plan that would fit my space. I now have asparagus, cherries, hazelnuts and many berries. I plan to continue to work with them to expand my garden. They were kind, conscientious and cost effective. I highly recommend them!"
