About Us
Our Mission, Process, & Outcome
Our Mission- Work With Nature, Not Against It!
Ecoterra Edible Landscapes is an edible landscaping company Houston homeowners trust providing custom organic sustainable food solutions to residential and commercial clients. Our services include the design, installation, and maintenance of edible landscaping in urban and suburban areas.
When you think about it, growing a garden or planting a food forest is very similar to an insurance policy, except you seldom need to pay for it. There is a great satisfaction and sense of security knowing that you can grow your own food. Our mission is to empower people to take control of their lives through growing food, being healthy, and working with nature.
“The greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is enough for everyone. Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on the very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and shelter.”
― Bill Mollison
Our Process
- Consult– We will inspect the property, take soil samples, aerial photographs, and meet with you to define the scope of work.
- Design– Based on the information collected during the site evaluation, we will design a garden that fits your lifestyle and landscape.
- Build & Install– We will build and install according to the agreed upon design.
- Maintain– Although our landscapes are designed to be self-sustainable, we offer a variety of services to ensure your garden stays healthy and productive. This includes mulching, pruning, weeding, and organic fertilizing
The Outcome
A low-effort organic garden built from your vision, capable of growing an abundance of fresh organic food in YOUR OWN backyard or kitchen patio. Over time your edible landscape becomes a living ecosystem — one that feeds your family, supports local pollinators, and adds lasting beauty and value to your home. That’s the Ecoterra difference.
Why Houston Homeowners Choose an Edible Landscaping Company
Houston’s climate is one of the most productive in the country for year-round food growing. With long warm seasons, abundant rainfall, and mild winters, Houston homeowners have a genuine advantage when it comes to growing food at home. The challenge is knowing which plants thrive in our clay-heavy soils, how to manage Houston’s humidity, and how to design a garden that produces food without demanding constant attention.
As a local edible landscaping company, Ecoterra understands Houston’s unique growing conditions. We select plants suited to our climate and design gardens that work with Houston’s environment rather than against it. Our plant recommendations follow best practices from the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, ensuring every garden is grounded in sound horticultural science.
Our Commitment to Organic, Sustainable Growing
Every garden we design and install is built on organic principles. We don’t use synthetic fertilizers or pesticides — instead we focus on building healthy soil, selecting disease-resistant plants, and designing ecosystems that support themselves over time. The goal is a garden that gets easier to maintain as it matures, not harder.
Whether we’re installing a simple raised bed garden, a full food forest, or coaching you through growing your own edible landscape, our commitment stays the same: healthy food, healthy soil, and a healthier connection to where your food comes from.
If you’re ready to transform your outdoor space, we’d love to hear from you.
