“Remagic your piece of earth”

EARTHeim (earth-hime) = ‘earth home’.

The logo was created by Cricket Press of Lexington, Kentucky.

EARTHeim is an ecological landscape design business based in Lexington, Kentucky.

We focus on creating sustainable and environmentally friendly landscapes using mostly native plants. We see this as something inherit to being human; taking care of that which takes care of you. A healthier environment means healthier lives for us.

Living Landscapes. Ecological landscapes can be called a ‘living landscape’, a term created by the author and entomologist, Douglas Tallamy. A living landscape takes into consideration that a landscape is a dynamic ecosystem full of life forms like wildlife, insects, plants, fungi, and microbes which all depend on one another. This type of landscaping has a goal of benefiting the earth instead of harming it.

Guiding your business through the project

Some ways EARTHeim promotes ‘living landscapes’ is by:

Using mostly native plants that benefit pollinators and birds
Not using invasive plants and ecouraging their removal
Using good design practices for lower maintenance landscapes
“Right plant, right place” for longer lasting landscapes
Proper mulching practices
Very limited to no chemical usage, usually only for invasive plant removal
Addressing drainage issues to prevent soil erosion
Sustainable practicies to enhance soil and plant health
Being involved with sustainable education in the community

Working with Us. Please review the landscape services I offer to see if EARTHeim is a good fit for your project. Landscape companies have different processes in which they work with their clients. EARTHeim is a speciality business. When you hire me, you are hiring someone who has years of education and knowledge to provide these services.

EARTHeim books quickly and usually has a waiting list depending on the project. We are able to work with a limited number of projects and clients each year, so please contact me early in your project’s phase.
