In the Press
We design and build regenerative landscapes. Sometimes the work gets noticed.
Below you'll find press coverage, speaking appearances, partnerships, and the Land Language podcast — where we share the science and process openly, because the industry moves forward when knowledge does too.

Brit breaks down why summer gardens fade, with depleted soil being the usual culprit, and shares fixes like deep watering before heatwaves, mini rain gardens, better mulch, and heat-tolerant native plants. Her bottom line: feed the soil microbiome and resist the urge to overwater, because the garden is tougher than it looks.
Brit explains the Regenerative Standard framework centered on improving water systems, soil biology, habitat, materials, and overall landscape performance to help builders, designers, and property owners rethink landscapes as living systems that can sustain and heal themselves over time.
Brit walks readers through her philosophy of designing with water instead of fighting it, turning soggy problem corners into rain gardens, productive plantings, and landscapes that stay lush without constant irrigation.
A practical look at how to read your land and let it guide the design.
A North Portland couple transformed their chronically soggy backyard into a functional rain garden that channels water into a dry well through rocks and native plantings, improving both drainage and curb appeal. The piece walks through simple steps homeowners can take to turn a waterlogged yard into a thriving, low-maintenance ecosystem.
A Portland family swapped their lawn for water-wise native plants and grasses, cutting maintenance while supporting pollinators and boosting their home's value.
