Permaculture Artisans

Permaculture Artisans' hardscaping consists of a wide range of high-quality custom designs built in to gracefully integrate all areas of a site. Often, a rock wall, patio or pathway is what connects the human experience with the farm or garden. With this in mind, we build functional and beautiful hardscapes that help you feel comfortable and at ease. The more we feel at home in our landscapes the more we can relax and enjoy our investment. Moreover, well-designed hardscapes can reduce maintenance costs, moderate microclimates, help retain soil and increase wildlife habitat.

Permaculture Artisans is committed to sustainable tree work. The forests of the Pacific Northwest rely on humans, animals, and fire disturbances for their health. Disruptions to these relationships have resulted in declining forests, soil erosion, increased presence of non-native invasive species and a loss of biodiversity. We can help you counter these trends by employing techniques that mimic the beneficial disturbances we observe in pristine forest ecosystems. Permaculture Artisans' ultimate goal of stewarding truly healthy forests is carried out through rehabilitation, native plant succession, and a comprehensive management plan.

Permculture Artisans offers a wide range of services: design, building and education around sustainable, regenerative landscapes. Our services address core ecological issues such as water management, soil fertility, erosion control, animal ecosystems, sustainable tree work and much more. Our services are informed by the principles of permaculture and by a deep aesthetic sense. Please peruse the following pages to learn more about our work.

Our permaculture design embodies a whole-systems approach. We embed your vision for the land within the ecosystems that keep it healthy and abundant. Permaculture Artisans has decades of experience in reading and working with natural systems. This, paired with our efficient, aesthetic and functional permaculture design approach, creates systems that will thrive for years to come. We are grateful to the diverse teachers we've had throughout the years, spanning many disciplines including: permaculture, landscape architecture, Keyline design, Holistic Management, and native systems design.
