Regenerative design
at community scale.
Master-planned community landscape design for developers building eco-conscious neighborhoods, agrihoods, and farm-to-table communities. The same design discipline scaled across multiple parcels.
Communities
built on living
land.
The market for eco-conscious community development is no longer a niche. Buyers are paying premiums for communities that integrate food production, native restoration, and shared landscape stewardship into their site plan rather than treating landscaping as a final-stage line item.
Eden & Dane partners with developers on master-planned communities that lead with their landscape. Agrihoods organized around shared orchards. Farm-to-table communities with working market gardens. Conservation neighborhoods that preserve significant acreage in shared common space. Eco-villages with permaculture as the organizing principle rather than a marketing tagline.
We bring the same design discipline we apply to single estates, scaled across the multiple parcels of a planned community, with the shared infrastructure and long-horizon stewardship plans that let the landscape continue maturing after the houses sell.
This is a professional-to-professional engagement. We work with developers, master-plan architects, and civil engineers from the entitlement phase forward.
Four contexts where this work fits.
Landscape as a community amenity.
Engaged from the master-planning phase forward. Open space design, common amenity landscape, shared garden space, and the structural plantings that define the community's visual character at every entry.
Shared food systems.
Communities organized around shared food production - working orchards, market gardens, CSA programs, livestock infrastructure where appropriate. Designed for premium-tier residential developments where food production is the differentiator.
Land that compounds.
Significant common acreage preserved and designed - meadow restoration, native pollinator corridors, walking trails, wildlife habitat. Designed as community assets that increase in value as they mature.
Designed for continuity.
Multi-year stewardship plans that an HOA can actually manage. Plant selections that mature into low-maintenance composition. Documentation that survives board turnover and keeps the design intact across decades.
Communities that mature into their landscape command premiums that justify the design investment many times over. The conventional approach leaves significant value on the table.Dane Hoover, Founder
Three reasons it works commercially.
Buyers pay for integrated landscape.
Communities with integrated regenerative landscape command per-lot and per-unit premiums substantially above comparable conventional developments. The differential typically pays back the design investment several times over by sell-out.
Hard to copy after the fact.
A community that integrated landscape from the master-plan phase cannot be replicated by competitors retrofitting landscaping after the fact. The differentiation is structural rather than cosmetic, and it compounds as the landscape matures.
Documentation that survives turnover.
We provide multi-year landscape stewardship plans that HOAs and management companies can actually execute. The community's landscape continues to mature properly rather than degrading as boards change and contractors shift.
A community that matures
into its landscape.
Begin with a professional consultation. We will discuss the project, the entitlement stage, and whether our discipline fits the development model.
