Chicken VerdantPlot was founded to help people make better use of outdoor space through considered design, appropriate planting, and practical landscape planning. A garden may need to accommodate children, pets, entertaining, quiet relaxation, storage, access, or changing seasons.

Our process begins with listening. We learn what you want to change, what already works, what creates difficulty, how you use the property, and what atmosphere you want to create. Projects may range from structured contemporary gardens to relaxed naturalistic landscapes with seasonal color and habitat value.

We assess orientation, sunlight, shade, soil, drainage, existing trees, views, neighboring buildings, access, boundaries, levels, and the relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces. We also consider how plants will mature, materials will weather, and household needs may evolve.

Sustainability forms part of our practical design thinking. We consider soil improvement, water use, suitable plants, habitat, permeable surfaces, rainwater management, shade, durability, and responsible materials to create landscapes that are resilient and enjoyable.
