Your land,
made yours.
If you own a property in the DMV and you've been waiting for the right partner to help you make it into something worth handing down, this is the page for you.
Most landscapes cost their owners. Ours return to them.
The average American homeowner spends thousands every year keeping their landscape alive, and gets nothing back from it but a place to mow.
Eden & Dane designs the inverse. Living systems that produce food, harvest water, restore soil, and quietly compound your property's value every year you own it.
Beautiful by design. Productive by structure. The kind of place where your morning coffee tastes different because of where you're drinking it.
A property that belongs to you.
Estate-grade design language with living systems underneath. The surface reads as composed landscape. The substrate gets healthier every year.
A property that gives back.
3 - 8% lift, compounding.
A well-designed regenerative landscape adds real, measurable property value. Heritage trees, water features, and integrated edible systems are appraised assets, not liabilities.
Time, food & sanctuary.
200+ hours a year recovered from maintenance. Fresh produce from your own land. A place that quiets you the moment you walk into it.
Land worth handing down.
Heritage trees that will outlive you. Stone features that anchor a family's history. The kind of property your grandchildren will return to.
The most valuable thing on a property is rarely the house. It is the relationship the owner has with the land.Dane Hoover, Founder
What makes the difference.
There are dozens of landscape companies in the DMV. A handful that can do beautiful design. Almost none that bring all three of these together.
Every project, fully custom.
Dane designs every property personally. No production-line drawings, no junior associates, no client handoffs. The design only fits your land because no one else will ever have it.
Living systems, not decoration.
Soil biology, hydrology, and ecological succession are designed into the bones. The property gets healthier and more beautiful every year, not worse.
Tax, conservation & ROI tracked.
Where applicable, we map the financial leverage available to your property. Conservation easements, USDA programs, state rebates. Most clients surface significant offsets they didn't know existed.
From discovery to stewardship.
Begin with a 15-minute call
Free, no pressure. We talk about your property, your goals, and the kind of place you want it to become. By the end, you will have a clearer sense of what your land is actually capable of and what the realistic next step is.
An on-site walk & consultation
If we're a fit, we spend a few hours walking your land together. Soil, sun, water, sightlines, and the way you actually live there. Most clients tell us this is the most clarifying conversation they have had about their own property.
A bespoke plan
A complete design specific to your land. Stone, water, structure, planting, soil, and water systems. Tax and conservation pathways mapped where they apply. Phased so you can build in stages if you want.
Install & steward
For full builds, Dane directs the install personally. Stone crews, planters, and accessory builders work under his direct oversight. Most clients keep us on a multi-year stewardship pathway as the property comes into itself.
Some properties are maintained.
Yours can be made.
