Jeremy was thorough and knowledgeable about native plants. Although the plants are newly in the ground, our selections should be in full form by spring and I can’t wait to see how it turns out! He is a joy to work with.

Customer Reviews

We worked with Jeremy and his team over the course of four months to design and build an orchard (and surrounding landscaping) at our home, and the experience was outstanding. Jeremy’s depth of knowledge in sustainable farming was evident from day one — he conducted soil sampling and carefully selected companion plants to help our fruit trees thrive. Throughout the process, he was a true collaborator, open to feedback and quick to iterate on design ideas. His meticulous attention to detail also made navigating our HOA’s design review process smooth and stress-free. The finished orchard not only adds tremendous curb appeal but has become a shared asset for the whole neighborhood to enjoy. We’re already planning to continue working with Jeremy on a maintenance plan and couldn’t recommend him more highly.

I used Jeremy at edible ecology to fix up the garden of a small home in Berkeley. I asked him for a low maintenance, drought tolerant pollinator garden. He knew exactly what I had in mind. He drew up a plan with a flexible estimate, saying I could do as much or as little as I wanted. He and his crew did the work and have left me with a very pretty, drought tolerant, pollinator garden. I highly recommend them. By the way, they were recommended to me by a gardener friend who uses them for maintenance and is very happy with their services.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Edible Ecology plan a landscape project?
It usually starts with a consultation and site assessment. For larger projects, especially those aimed at production at scale, it recommends thorough soil testing and analysis; once a plan is agreed, it prepares a fixed-cost agreement and schedules a start date.
Does Edible Ecology remove fallen leaves from planting areas?
It offers to sweep or blow leaves off paved areas but recommends leaving them in planting areas.
