The mission of Gaia Gardens is to provide a beautiful, organic, sustainable environment which integrates aesthetically and ecologically with your property. We provide personalized design tailored to your lifestyle. Our practices are based on sustainable land use and permaculture. In other words, we design with a preference toward low maintenance, native, and useful landscaping that will thrive while helping with drainage problems, heating and cooling costs and even providing food for people and wildlife. We determine the existing habitat of your property and design accordingly. Each feature is carefully considered for proper placement in it's own micro-climate, yet treated as an element in the ever changing composition of nature. Gaia Gardens provides a full range of service: design, installation and maintenance of hardscaping, plantings, container and specialty gardening. Even though We don't do lawns, we install them. Our maintenance practices are specific to the plants (which are as individual as people), and your stylistic preferences. We use IPM (integrated pest management) for effective, environmentally low-impact, low-cost problem solving.

Daria and her team did a fantastic job on redesigning my backyard and a few other small tasks for me. The team was very courteous, polite, and kept things very neat. Daria was very open to suggestions and provided great advice for us. She definetly knows her stuff. They did such a great job on the french drain installation in my backyard that my neighbor hired them to extend it through her's as well. Thanks Gaia Gardens!

havn't started the project yet but Daria was making apts and we met in an unrushed way. She offered great solutions and has a comprehensive understanding of landscape design. The other company I interviewed has not returned my call after I gave them a drawing. He said he would work up an estimate based on my drawing. That company was the one with green in the name and the owner was named Brian.

Daria at Gaia Gardens has expert knowledge in landscaping -- well-respected by local garden centers. Project took a little longer than hoped to schedule actual planting, but the result was worth the wait. I will use her again and recommend her to neighbors.

The owner is very nice. She really cares about your property and wants you to really have a great outdoor space. It did take them a lot of times to do all the things that I asked them to do but overall I am satisfied.

Daria is very knowledgeable about gardening and plants, recognizing all of our unusual native plants. She contacted me promptly. Her esimate was extremely detailed so we could make decisons about exactly what to do. I think their pricing was very reasonable and we decided to do the whole project. She was willing to do a variety of work, from pruning trees to removing lawn to create a whole new garden. She and her crew worked hard and she was on site to supervise and consult with the whole time which is very unusual but wonderful. I am very pleased and would definitely use Gaia Gardens again.

The owner, Daria Paxton, is a human encyclopedia of information on plants and schrubs; very pleasant and very patiently answered a slew of questions. The job was ompleted the job in a very timely manner. I had her put in All Season Hydrangeas, and they have been in the ground 11 days now. She guarantees what she plants and so far they are looking fine...waiting to see how well they grow and if the new blooms come up in shades of color (purple, blue and pink), due to what Daria explained was required to be added to the soil to produce the multi-colors.

They were wonderful. They understood what we wanted and executed our wishes on time and on budget. They took time to do even more detailed work than we expected. We heartily endorse their work.

The design for the project was wonderful. We met and discussed my ideas and preferences before any design was proposed. Gaia Gardens does great work. I was very happy with the result.
