◆ The work · your yard

A Vitality yard,
composed with you.

A native garden in front of your house. Cooler, quieter, alive with named species, and built, as far as it can be, from what your own mile already holds.

ALWAYSA small curated team, and your hands if you want them in the soil.

NAMEDEvery species, every person, every date. Nothing generic.

HONESTA Site Conversation first. No obligation, no fundraising cascade.

YOURSA daily practice with seasons, not a maintenance contract.

How it works · three movements

From a walk in your yard to a yard with a life of its own.

MOVEMENT 01

The Site Conversation

We walk your yard together. Sun, soil, water, what the block already grows, what you want mornings to feel like. You talk, we listen, we measure. It ends with a written composition sketch, not a sales pitch.

Free · no obligation

Rich dark soil foundation of every garden

MOVEMENT 02

The composition

A planting plan from named natives: little bluestem, muhly grass, inland sea oats, and the species your soil and light ask for. Designed as habitat and as a place you will love standing in.

MOVEMENT 03

Natural or Accelerated Transition

Two speeds, one destination. A Natural Transition converts the yard season by season, easy on the soil and the budget. An Accelerated Transition plants the composition at once. You choose by budget and patience. The first yard on a block is a demonstration with an audience. What it shows, the block keeps.

You set the pace

Who builds it · a garden within a mile

Your yard, your mile, your call.

Who does the work is the first variable of what a garden costs. We compose the build, where we can, from within a mile of your door.

Your hands

Do It Together: we design and guide, you and your household plant. The cheapest path and, for many, the best one.

The mile's hands

Neighbours who prune, a mason two streets over, growers close enough to visit. Named, credited, and paid fairly.

Our small curated team

For the parts that want experience: grading, stonework, the first big planting day. We bring the crew and the care.

The cost page prices all three honestly, side by side, before you commit to anything. See what it costs. It is the same arithmetic we use ourselves.

Ancestral register · what we plant

Species with names, craft with credit.

The palette of a Vitality yard is not a style. It is a census.

Where craft enters the yard (stone, weave, sign work), the tradition is credited by name and a share of revenue routes to its stewards. Craftwashing is forbidden.
