Welcome to Living Designs...

Here at Living Designs, we take a species-friendly approach to creating self-sufficiency by combining specific plants and systems to benefit both humans as well as the species around us. We use species that are native to your zone and plant with the sun in mind.  Whether you live in an apartment with only a balcony, or have an acre of land in the country,, there is a permaculture system for you. The great thing about our pollinators is that they can fly! Some pollinators like lady bugs or bees can travel miles to pollinate species.. Discover how permaculture can transform your landscape today!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is permaculture?
Permaculture is a design system that mimics natural ecosystems to create sustainable landscapes.

How can permaculture benefit my landscape?

Permaculture can improve soil health, water retention, and biodiversity in your landscape.

What sets Living Designs apart from other landscape designers?

Azaleas are beautiful but also incredibly poisonous to your pets and children. I see many Azalea bushes in the suburbs and Dieffenbachia in airports and offices. These plants are extremely toxic. This is what sets us apart from others. Not only do we plant species that are child and pet-friendly; but we also plant species that benefit you and your family, such as berries or medicinal plants. Allow us to help you create self-sufficiency through native perennials and child-friendly plants.

We also plant in specific places to minimize your heating and cooling needs while maximizing comfort and privacy. (Available with larger plans)
