Regenerative, native plant drive landscape design

We create outdoor spaces that support soil and wildlife health, and provide beauty.

How You Can Make A Difference

The Little Shovel was born from the desire to make room for nature on every homeowner's property, no matter how small the space is. If each of us can make small changes to our landscaping practices, the positive impacts on environmental and human health can be immense. At The Little Shovel, we design using permaculture practices that work with nature, emphasize native plants and soil health, and make eco-friendly material selection fun and easy.

A SAMPLE PROJECT

BEFORE: This sod is a mess!

AFTER: Looks clean & the bees are loving it!

Check out the informative POST our friends at Organic Lawn wrote about why small strips of grass struggle.

Erica has been wonderful to work with and transformed our boring landscaping into a charming flower garden. She incorporated my favorite flowers and added some native flowers and others I wouldn’t have thought to use. The collaborative experience with The Little Shovel has resulted in a bright, happy, and healthy addition to our home.”
