The Edible Backyard

Higher Ground was hired to help this client transform their backyard from a construction site into productive and attractive vegetable gardens that are easy to maintain. This client required Higher Ground to:

• regrade the backyard to allow for raised gardens;
• build raised gardens for ease of gardening;
• create space for a shed to store gardening equipment and supplies.

Higher Ground used environmentally friendly best practices and the highest quality products to design and develop a space composed of various raised vegetable gardens. Higher Ground:

• designed the vegetable gardens in a way that ensured the space was maximized for growing vegetables, and allowed for sufficient space to easily work around the gardens;
• built retaining walls to create raised vegetable gardens that allowed for sufficient depth of garden soil;
• installed drainage to maintain optimal growing conditions;
• built a beautiful and aesthetic space that requires little maintenance for years to come.
