Biology-Powered
Landscapes
Ecological landscape design and installation rooted in the Pacific Northwest.
We help homeowners transform underutilized residential yards and large properties into living landscapes that are beautiful, functional, and designed to thrive.
From drainage solutions and resilient plant packages, to edible gardens, food forests, and native forest restoration, every landscape is designed around the unique context of the property and the people who live there.
My goal is to create beautiful, low-maintenance landscapes that spark joy, improve soil health, support wildlife, and become more resilient and abundant with time.
What We Do
-
We design and build living systems rooted in ecology.
Each project is shaped around your property, your goals, and how you want to use the space. We handle everything from initial design through installation, including soil preparation, plant selection, layout, and structural elements like pathways and garden spaces.
-
We integrate food production intentionally into your landscape.
This can include raised beds, in-ground gardens, vegetables, herbs, berries, and orchard systems that are designed for long-term productivity and ease of maintenance.
-
We restore trees and forests to improve their health, structure, and long-term vitality.
This can include selective thinning, pruning, canopy lifting, and removing unhealthy or competing growth—along with improving soil and root conditions so trees can recover and thrive.
How We Do It
-
We design systems that build soil, hold water, and evolve through natural succession.
This includes layered planting, strategic density, and ongoing refinement as the landscape establishes. The result is a landscape that works with nature, is easy to maintain, and becomes more abundant year after year.
-
We take a soil-first approach
We focus on rebuilding living soil through the plants themselves, supported by fungal compost, biological inoculants, and organic matter. This restores structure, increases water retention, and supports long-term plant health, creating a system that doesn’t rely on constant inputs.
-
We use plants adapted to this region
We prioritize native species, integrate functional ornamental species, and use landrace plant breeding on our farm to select for varieties adapted to our region’s soil and climate. This results in landscapes that are more resilient, require less maintenance, and naturally support ecological abundance.
Living Landscapes
We create regenerative, low-maintenance landscapes rooted in native ecology and soil health. From that foundation, we are able to integrate ornamental plantings, food systems, and garden spaces that reflect your individual context and support the surrounding ecosystem.
We believe your property should be more than something you just maintain. We work with nature to create thriving ecosystems that provide beauty, habitat, and food that only improve with time.
Safe for Everyday Life
Kid safe 👣 + 🐾 Pet safe
Kid safe and pet safe means we do not use synthetic fertilizers or chemicals in the spaces where people live, play, and grow food.
Instead, we build soil naturally using compost, worm castings, compost teas, biochar, and organic materials that support long-term health below the surface.
Your landscape should feel safe to move through and interact with — for children, pets, pollinators, and everything else that depends on it.
We want it to be beautiful, but also something you can live closely with every day.
Drew Clarkson
Owner & Ecological Designer
Drew designs and installs biology-powered landscapes throughout Clark County that work in harmony with nature.
His goal is to create beautiful, low-maintenance landscapes that spark joy, improve soil health, support wildlife, and become more resilient and abundant with time.
Born and raised in Camas, Washington, Drew now lives there with his wife and two children. He enjoys growing plants and trees, gardening in his backyard with his daughter, and spending time outdoors with his family.
Find Your Connection
Your landscape should feel like part of you.
The same sense of calm and presence you experience in a forest or in the wild can exist right in your own backyard.
There is a point of connection for everyone. It might be picking berries, watching butterflies, or hearing birds in the morning. Those small moments are often what draw us back into relationship with the land.
We design landscapes that make this connection possible.
Let’s Work Together
