Productive Landscape Planning | Syntropic System Design
Design and consultancy services to transform your land—backyard or acreage—into a productive source of food.
We design edible ecosystems where fruit trees, support plants, and groundcovers work together to regenerate soil and produce abundant food.
Start with a Food Forest Patch - a small edible ecosystem built around a single tree and its supporting plant community.

How can we best support you? Contact us to get your project started.
To make the most of our call, you’re welcome to share a few basic details about your land and your goals. This helps us start with clarity and move forward efficiently.
Once I receive your information, I’ll reach out to schedule a call where we’ll review your site’s potential and align what’s possible with your vision.
The Benefits: Why Syntropic Design?
Accelerated Growth: By mimicking natural forest evolution (succession), plants grow faster and healthier than in traditional gardens.
High-Density Harvests: We use vertical layers (strata) to grow more food in less space—stacking root crops, shrubs, and canopy trees together.
Self-Fertilizing Soil: The system creates its own mulch and nutrients through strategic pruning (Chop-and-Drop), eliminating the need for external fertilizers.
Water Resilience: High-density planting and organic biomass keep the soil cool and moist, significantly reducing the need for irrigation.
Zero Waste: Every plant has a purpose—either to feed you or to feed the system.
The Food Forest Patch Design Overview
Each garden patch functions like a small ecosystem where trees, shrubs, and ground plants support each other.
Area: 3– 9 m diameter (flexible shape, adapted to your space).
Trees: 1 (Large, Medium or Small) fruit tree. 1-4 Medium or Small fruit trees/shrubs.
Other plants: Early fruiting and fast-growing plants. Fertility and biomass plants.
Includes:
Strategic Plant Selection: I choose the specific "consortia" (plant communities) of food and support species that will thrive in your soil.
Optimal Spacing & Strata Mapping: I design the vertical and horizontal layout, ensuring every plant occupies its perfect niche without competition.
Implementation Guide (How to Plant): Step-by-step instructions on how to set up the system to trigger the "succession pulse" from day one.
Management & Biomass Roadmap: A clear plan for pruning and "Chop-and-Drop" techniques to ensure the system becomes self-fertilizing and high-yielding.
