What We Do
Our Services
Design, installation, and care for native gardens, food forests, meadows, and hedgerows across the Northern Piedmont.
Native Garden Design
Native Garden Design
We design gardens using species that evolved here — mountain mint, goldenrod, little bluestem, serviceberry. They look cared-for and work like ecosystems.
- Native species selection
- Pollinator habitat
- Four-season interest
- Hill House-grown plants
Food Forests & Edible Landscapes
Food Forests & Edible Landscapes
Multi-story food forests that produce fruit, nuts, and berries while building soil and feeding wildlife. Chestnut, hazelnut, serviceberry, and ramps — species suited to our soils.
- Fruit & nut trees
- Berry shrubs
- Ground-layer edibles
- Soil building
Meadow Conversion
Meadow Conversion
We convert turf grass into native meadows of little bluestem, switchgrass, butterfly weed, and black-eyed Susan. Less mowing, more life.
- Turf removal
- Native seed mixes
- Establishment mowing plan
- Wildflower integration
Hedgerows & Borders
Hedgerows & Borders
Hedgerows define boundaries, block wind, and create wildlife corridors between properties. We plant layered borders with four-season interest.
- Property-line borders
- Wildlife corridors
- Wind protection
- Privacy screening
Garden Tending
Garden Tending
Ongoing tending — not maintenance. We weed, amend, divide, prune, and manage your garden through every season so it matures the way it should.
- Spring cutbacks
- Selective weeding
- Division & transplanting
- Fall mulching
Site Consultation
Site Consultation
We visit your property, assess soil, light, water flow, and existing vegetation. You get a written report with recommended species and a phased design approach.
- Soil & site assessment
- Species recommendations
- Phased design plan
- Hill House sourcing list
Tree Services
Tree Services
Trees are beautiful and precious, but sometimes they grow in dangerous places, get damaged, or fall ill. We care for the tree, your property, and the environment around it. From routine pruning to emergency storm response, we work as climbers — no bucket truck — which means we leave less of a footprint on the lawn and the soil while we work.
- Pruning & crown reduction (mature, decorative, fruit trees)
- Removal of dead, diseased, or hazardous trees
- Stump grinding
- Emergency / storm response
- Cabling & bracing
- Tree-health assessments
- Tree planting (native species when it fits)
- Disease & pest treatment
- Fully insured

A site consultation is the best first step. We walk the land together, listen to your goals, and come back with a plan.
