How Do We Design and Install New Garden Beds?
We have a specific process that we put into action to build new or restore your garden beds. Our customers are thrilled with the improvement to their curb appeal and "new look" we're able to give their property.
Step #1. You need to request a consultation and estimate. We will come to your property, look at your current garden beds or the areas you'd like new beds installed. We take accurate measurements so we know how much soil and/or mulch is going to be required and what we're going to need for plantings.
Step #2. We discuss the plantings and materials you'd like to use. We typically try and use low-maintenance materials when possible. These include low-maintenance native plants or bushes (suitable for our growing zone 8A), river rock and stone, or mulch. Plantings can vary depending on the time of year, the amount of color or interest you'd like, and what is currently available at our local nurseries. We always choose plants that will do well in our climate.
Step #3. We can provide you with a hand-drawn or 2D garden bed design that will outline the shape, and the specific plantings that will be used for your new garden beds. We can work with you to adjust and fine-tune the design if needed.
Step# 4. Once you've accepted the design and approved our estimate we can get to work! We start by cleaning out your existing garden beds, removing all of the brush and overgrowth. We re-establish an edge to the beds so they have a clear and distinct separation from your lawn, walkway, driveway, or other hardscaping.
Step #5. With the beds cleaned out and edged we can begin to layout the new plantings. From here we can fine-tune the placement of the new plants to determine what is going to look the best, taking into consideration future growth, and the look you're trying to achieve.
Step #6. With the new plantings installed, we can then fill in the garden beds with new soil, mulch, river rock, stone, or whatever material you'd like to have in the beds. We always recommend mulch or stone for a beautiful, uniform appearance, and very low maintenance requirements.
Step #7. You get to enjoy the beautiful new look we've given your home!

Revitalize Your Existing Garden Beds with a Makeover
Is your garden bed not living up to its full potential? Many homeowners find that their existing garden beds may suffer from a range of issues that detract from the beauty and functionality of their outdoor spaces. Common problems include dead or dying plants, overgrown brush, poor plant selection, and landscapes that require far too much maintenance. At EverGreen Ecoscapes, we offer garden bed makeovers designed to breathe new life into your landscape, making it more sustainable, eco-friendly, and visually appealing.
Our garden bed makeovers involve a comprehensive assessment of your current garden to identify problem areas and opportunities for improvement. Here’s what we can do:
-
- Replace Unhealthy or Dying Plants: We’ll assess the health of your existing plants and replace any that are dead, dying, or struggling to thrive with robust, native species that are well-suited to the Tidewater region.
- Remove Overgrown Brush and Invasive Species: Overgrown and invasive plants can choke out desirable flora and create an untidy appearance. We carefully remove these problem plants to open up space for more beneficial species.
- Select and Install Native Plantings: Choosing the right plants is key to creating a low-maintenance, eco-friendly garden. We focus on native species that are adapted to the local climate, support pollinators, and require less water and care.
- Improve Soil Health and Drainage: Poor soil and inadequate drainage can lead to plant health issues and water runoff problems. We can amend your soil and enhance drainage to create the ideal growing conditions for your garden.
- Redesign for Sustainability: We’ll redesign your garden bed with sustainability in mind, ensuring it conserves water, reduces the need for chemical inputs, and creates a habitat that supports local wildlife.
By addressing these common issues and incorporating sustainable practices, we’ll transform your existing garden bed into a thriving, low-maintenance landscape feature that you can enjoy for years to come. Let EverGreen Ecoscapes help you turn your garden into a beautiful, eco-friendly oasis that enhances both your property and the environment.
Our Clients Love Us!
Here's What They Say
I am so happy with the job done! They listened to all I wanted and made it a reality!! Very professional and responsive! I will be using them for my backyard as well.
We are so happy with their service. The creative design has brought so many bees and birds to our yard, planting native species to our yard. We look forward to years of enjoyment of our gardens.
I feel incredibly fortunate to have randomly met Vanessa from EverGreen EcoScapes at a plant sale. After speaking for a few minutes, I could tell she shared the same plant philosophies but was much more knowledgeable than I am. It was a pleasure working with the team from the initial consultation through the completion of my project to replace part of my lawn with native plants. Vanessa took my scattered ideas and turned them into a beautiful garden. They went above what was required and made sure everything was handled. I appreciate Vanessa's attention to detail, knowledge, communication and willingness to educate. I look forward to working with EverGreen EcoScapes again.
I called Evergreen to get a quote for the two flower beds in front of my home. They came out right on schedule and immediately proved themselves to be friendly, knowledgeable and professional. They asked me questions to get an idea of what i was looking for. I felt certain right away that I wanted them to take care of my landscaping. They're estimate was able what I expected. After we set a date, they arrived when ejected and did AMAZING work. They did such a great job that my wife asked them to do some more with in our backyard, which was also incredible. I was so fortunate to have found them n and I cannot recommend them enough. You will not be disappointed.
Love love love these landscapers. I’ve learned so much about landscaping with native plants that support bird and wildlife. Did u know 1 pair of breeding chickadees requires 6,000 - 9,000 caterpillar larvae to raise 1 clutch of eggs? Neither did I!! Now I’m all into native plants. Finally, I feel like I can make a tangible contribution to saving and enhancing habitat for our non-human relatives with whom we share this planet. AND it can be beautiful. Evergreen Ecoscapes helped me accomplish both! and they’re still helping me 2 months since completion. I can still ask questions and get a professional’s advice. So there’s no sense of abandonment or being on my own with the care of all these new plants in my garden/s. See that Japanese red maple in the garden by the shed? Yeah, it’s taking over our forests and nudging out the native trees that support our native creatures, so it’s gonna be gone next week and Evergreen Ecoscapes will help me choose a native alternative like an elderberry or fringe tree. Can’t wait!
I have been wanting to landscape my front yard (separate garden beds) for several years. So many companies call themselves "landscapers" but seek to sell lawn maintenance packages. Vanessa and her partner, Justin, were the perfect solution to my needs. They listened to my ideas and created charming pollinator gardens beyond anything I expected. So much thought and consideration regarding the soil, sun, shade, and even the position of the water spout -- details that I would have clearly missed on my own! They are very knowledgeable about this region's native plants, as well as the wildlife. Vanessa made every effort to remain in budget by checking various resources to find the best deal. She always sought approval before purchase. My backyard could use some TLC, and I look forward to contacting EverGreen EcoScapes again.
