Services

Complete service and care for
properties and developments.

Every engagement begins with reading the land, and ends with a property that produces, appreciates, and rewards attention. Three ways in, and a scale of engagement built for your property.

Investment guidance

What projects at your scale typically cost.

The plan is a fraction of the total investment. Below is a working guide to help you budget realistically for a whole-systems project on your property. Actual costs are scoped after the master plan and depend on selected phases, materials, and pace.

Every engagement earns its money back over time - through food yield, water savings, energy offset, conservation reimbursements, and property value appreciation.

Ranges reflect typical whole-systems installations at each scale. Simpler engagements and phased approaches can materially reduce total investment. We are transparent about pricing throughout.

Specialty capabilities

The craft inside the design.

Every Eden and Dane engagement draws on founder Dane Hoover's background in Sustainable Architectural Design - a systems-first discipline that treats land, buildings, and inhabitants as one working ecosystem. What follows is the toolkit we bring to that thinking, at every scale.

Sustainability Assessments

LEED-aligned methodology, whole-property audit across water, soil, energy, ecology, food, and materials. Scored, quantified, and repeated at milestones to prove change.

Sustainable Materials

Materials locally sourced and chosen for low impact but bulletproof duration.

Passive Design Integration

Wind blocks, thermal mass placement, shade-tree siting, and building-envelope collaboration with architects on new construction. Rooted in Sustainable Architectural Design principles.

Edible Landscape Design

Ornamental food gardens where every plant does double duty. Food forests, culinary hedges, medicinal beds - beauty and function inseparable.

Regenerative Land Restoration

Recovery of degraded, compacted, or exhausted land through soil rebuilding, cover crops, biomass, and living systems. Multi-year turnaround.

Rainwater Systems

Passive catchment and cistern systems, routed to orchards, gardens, or livestock.

Solar Integration

Panel siting worked into the landscape from the start. Aesthetic and productive.

Heritage and Grafted Stock

Named-variety orchard trees, grafted pawpaws, cold-hardy figs, and heritage cultivars from our own nursery or trusted partners.

Conservation Programs

VCAP, NRCS, EQIP, and Virginia easement navigation. The paperwork, the math, and the timelines.

Aerial Mapping and Analysis

Drone survey, hydrology reading, and sun-path mapping. Every design starts from the property's behavior.

Common questions

Pricing, timeline, and process.

Why is the Estate Plan a starting point, not just an option?
Almost every property benefits from a whole-systems plan before installation. Even if you eventually build a fraction of what the plan proposes, the plan ensures every phase reinforces the next. Skipping the design step is where most estate landscapes lose their potential.
How does pricing work end to end?
Remote Strategy and Estate Plan are fixed-fee. The Design and Build Partnership is scoped after the master plan, when we know the actual work. Every quote is transparent and itemized, with allowances broken out and revisions tracked. You will never see a surprise invoice.
How long from first call to installed landscape?
Master plan delivery in 6-10 weeks. Installation begins the following season once the plan is approved. Full multi-phase estate projects run over 2-4 years, with the property producing meaningful returns from year one.
Do you work outside the DC metro?
Great Falls and McLean are home. We take on select estate work in the Hamptons, New Hampshire, and elsewhere by referral. Remote Strategy is available anywhere in the country, including preliminary work for properties we may visit later.
Can you coordinate with our architect, pool contractor, and existing landscape crew?
Yes. The Design and Build Partnership is built around this. We regularly work alongside architects, custom builders, pool designers, irrigation contractors, and existing landscape teams. Clear communication and defined scope keep everyone rowing in the same direction.
Can you help with conservation programs and tax strategy?
Yes. Estate Plans include a review of applicable programs (VCAP, NRCS cost-share, Virginia conservation easements, agricultural-use designation) with reimbursement estimates and next-step guidance. We are not attorneys or CPAs; any tax or legal structuring is coordinated with your advisors.
