Shades of Green Permaculture

My wife and I loved working with Shades of Green. They were an absolute joy from start to finish. From the very first design meeting, their team took the time to truly listen to our goals and vision for the yard, then came back with a thoughtful, creative plan that exceeded anything we could have imagined.

We used Shades of Green design and install services to turn our home landscape into a native plant showcase that will be easier to maintain and attract all sorts of birds and pollinators! This group of people completely exceeded expectations. Everyone we worked with was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and a true pleasure to interact with. Their work was fantastic. The design was creative and really beautiful. It included 37 varieties of native plants and 589 individual plants, raised beds for growing veggies and herbs, and a flagstone walkway. They prepared our yard for the planting perfectly. They followed the design with great care when placing the plants. If something didn’t seem to fit just right the folks doing the planting had more than enough horticultural knowledge to work i

The installation was fantastic. The hardscaping work far exceeded my expectations. The crew was knowledgeable, friendly, and very professional. We made a few small changes on the fly and it all went very smoothly. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

A leap of faith that was absolutely worth it. Transforming our front yard felt like nurturing hope, and Shades of Green exceeded every expectation. Their professionalism, expertise, commitment and kindness are remarkable. We are thrilled with the installation and look forward to future projects.
