That's right, landscaping, but with food plants! Edible landscapes can be highly rewarding and provide a great opportunity for a lifestyle shift. With an edible landscape, you'll be encouraged to spend more time outside, harvesting, processing and snacking. With the help of our sub-contractor network, we offer full-service landscaping from concept to completion to maintenance.

Why an edible landscape?
For You
Converting your property to an edible landscape provides you and your family with fresh (and local!) fruits, vegetables and herbs.
Hatchet & Seed designs edible landscapes that require less water, less fertilizers and less chemicals, creating beautiful and productive spaces that not only feed your belly, but your peace of mind as well.
For Your Property
We know that landscaping can substantially increase property values. Landscaping while adhering to natural patterns also significantly increases a property's health. Your land will transform into a vibrant haven for song birds, a sanctuary for bees, and a refuge from the hectic world most of us live in day-to-day.
For Your Community
Nothing brings a community together quite like food! Creating an edible landscape is the perfect way to give back to your community, bringing joy to those who see it. Your neighbors will appreciate a beautiful and well kept foodscape, and the whole community will benefit from the care put into your property.
Healthy and Vibrant communities start in your own yard.
Getting Started
The first step is a consultation, where we discuss your goals, ideas, budget and timeline. We have a great deal of experience with this process, and are approachable, easy to talk to, and transparent.
We love to take a creative role, so don't worry if you haven't got it all figured out. We are constantly learning and expanding our skillset, so we may know just what will take your property to the next level.
