Yard Evolved Conversion Habitat specs

Each Yard Evolved Conversion Habitat is designed to provide maximum ecological impact at the lowest possible cost.  It's easy to make a major yard change.  No big planning, no giant learning curve, no "oops" or "uh ohs."  Leave the "big" to us  Take advantage of our experience.  Keep the easy for yourself!


Each Conversion Habitat includes:

  • A professional design customized to your property's sun, water, topography, and soil conditions.  Designs cover up to 1000 square feet of planting area in either front, rear, or side yards.  Designs consider sun, water, soil, plants, paths, access, maintenance, and much more.
  • Plants and seeds for the design area.  Minimum 75% native plant selection required, 90% native plant selection desired.  Food forest conversions are permitted to fall below 75% native but must be at least 50% native.  A standard selection of perennials, grasses, flowers, and wildflower seeds are included in each design with the purpose of maximizing species support year-round.  Clients are offered choices on major feature plants such as flowering trees or shrubs, fruits and berries, or specimen plants.
  • Materials including mulch and compost (if needed). Rainscapes include a basic allowance of stone and gravel.  
  • Guided implementation on work days.  Homeowners will complete site prep, soil prep, and planting with the designer on site.  Site prep and install  may occur on multiple days.  It is important that the client participate in the work sessions.  It's the only way, cost wise, to keep prices affordable.  It's a great way to connect with nature.  And it's a tremendous learning experience with lots of  opportunities to learn, ask questions, and connect with your designer.  Full installs by the designer, without homeowner assistance, can be arranged for an additional fee.
  • Continuous in person follow-up by the designer for three years.  Periodic site visits to check for weed problems, plant survival, plant growth and seed germination, rain or storm water impacts, and client issues or questions.  We do not succeed unless your habitat succeeds!
