Shared landscapes have the potential to do much more than look beautiful. They can become places for learning, food production, ecological restoration, gathering, wellness, recreation, community connection, and meaningful organizational impact. Designing a shared landscape requires understanding more than the land itself.
We help organizations move from ideas and competing possibilities toward a clear regenerative master design and implementation pathway - one that considers the land, the mission of the organization, the people who use the space, available resources, programs, management capacity, and the future the project is meant to support.
Projects may include:
Schools & educational campuses - Churches & nonprofit properties - Corporate & institutional campuses - Community & healing gardens - Public parks & municipal landscapes - Resorts, retreat centers & wellness properties - Villages, neighborhoods & eco-villages - Community farms & regional initiatives.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE
Every project is customized to its scale and purpose. A complete organizational or community design may include:
|
For larger or more complex properties, additional detailed design sheets may be created for individual areas or systems.
Where engineering, architecture, construction documents, permitting, surveying, or other licensed services are required, we can identify those needs and work alongside appropriately qualified professionals. |
YOUR INVESTMENT
Every complete design begins with a discovery conversation and receives a customized scope and proposal.
Projects may be completed through a combination of online meetings, remote analysis, collaborative design sessions, and on-site work depending on location and project needs. Timing of design and report completions ranges from 8 weeks to 8 months, depending on size and complexity.
Travel, lodging, and related project expenses are quoted separately when required.

OTHER WAYS TO WORK WITH US
FOCUSED ORGANIZATIONAL & COMMUNITY CONSULTATIONS
When you need experienced direction before committing to a complete master design
Organizations do not always need to begin with a complete design. A focused consultation can help leadership evaluate an existing landscape, explore a proposed project, clarify priorities, understand constraints and opportunities, or determine whether a larger planning process is warranted.
Consultations may be conducted on-site or remotely, depending on the project. Online consultations can use aerial imagery, maps, photographs, video walkthroughs, existing plans, and shared documents to explore the property together.

ONGOING PROJECT ADVISORY & IMPLEMENTATION SUPPORT
Keep the project moving after the plan is created
A master design establishes direction, but larger projects often unfold over months or years. We can remain involved as an ongoing regenerative design advisor as the organization moves from planning into implementation. Support may include design review, prioritization, implementation sequencing, leadership meetings, review of emerging opportunities, contractor or professional coordination, project adaptation, and continued alignment between the developing landscape and the original project mission. Meeting frequency, project review, and level of support are customized in a proposal and agreement around the needs of the project.

PROGRAMS, ENTERPRISES & COMMUNITY IMPACT
When the landscape also supports programs, revenue or community impact
When the landscape also supports programs, revenue or community impact
Organizational landscapes can support far more than physical infrastructure. During the design process we may explore opportunities such as: Educational gardens & outdoor classrooms - Community food production - Farm-to-school or farm-to-program systems - Healing & therapeutic landscapes - Workshops & training programs - Retreat & wellness experiences - Hospitality & visitor experiences - Community events & gathering spaces - Farm stands or value-added production - Volunteer & service programs - Demonstration landscapes - Membership or sponsorship opportunities.
|
When income and/or impact is part of the vision, we can consider those possibilities during the land-design process so infrastructure, access, production areas, visitor flow, utilities, and other systems support the enterprise from the beginning. When deeper market analysis, financial modeling, business planning, enterprise feasibility, branding, operations, or business strategy are needed, that work can continue through our REGENERATIVE BUSINESS DESIGN & CONSULTING services.

HOW TO BEGIN
You do not need to have everything figured out before contacting us.
That is what the discovery conversation is for.
1. Schedule a Discovery Call
Tell us about your land, what you are considering, where the property is located, and what you hope it might become.
2. Identify the Right Starting Point
We will determine whether you need a focused consultation, a Complete Regenerative Land Design, ongoing mentorship, or a combination of services.
3. Receive a Clear Scope
For larger projects, we provide a written proposal outlining the process, major deliverables, expected timeline, investment, and any travel or site-work requirements.
4. Begin With Context
Once the project begins, we do not rush immediately into drawing solutions. We begin by understanding your direction, your reality, and your land. Then the design grows from there.

CLIENT EXPERIENCES
|
"After many failed attempts with landscape designers and architects, Lucian & Anna Maria truly understood my needs to transform my garden to satisfy my desires to spend my free time working with plants and bees outside, while also making it a safe space for my elderly parents to enjoy. I did not realize how much food production it is possible with food forest design. I truly enjoy this space that has inspired so many of my neighbors and friends to transform their backyards also. These two changed my neighborhood and life."

" I heard about this young couple in my town that were gathering people to educate them on ecology, sustainability and regeneration, and I was curious about it. I went to one of their events, which happened to be a public presentation of the design projects of students they were training for 6 months. It had a tremendous impact on me and the people I brought with me. I hired Lucian to design my half acre suburban property and he did a fantastic job. He brought a student along to shadow his process and design with him; recently in 2025 I saw his student has a very successful ecological design business, creating lots of change in our community since then. The ripple effects are very beautiful."

"I met Lucian at a workshop on composting he was teaching for Lincoln University of Missouri on his farm. Lucian said he can help me improve my farm for free via the University program and I accepted. We do not use computers unless really necessary, so he helped me in person, via the phone and printed a lot of materials for me to improve my 10 acres farm. I have revived my 2 acre blueberry patch, my 1/2 acre blackberry patch, and 2 acre asparagus and vegetables production with regenerative soil practices, something I did not know how to do before, but it has become very intuitive with his help. He still answers when I have questions and visits often."
