Michael and team,

It was such a pleasure working with you all to create a food forest in my backyard. Thank you for helping to bring my dream to life.

Mike and his team transformed my rocky landscape into a beautiful food forest, with fruit and nut trees, perennials and lovely raised beds. I have been planting the beds each season and enjoying the bounty! It was made easier by having them install a watering system on a timer. They also installed a chicken run with electric fencing along the top to keep out predators.

We have 18 acres and thanks to Mike and his crew we are on our way to being a productive permaculture farm. We knew we wanted a Permaculture design and I know just enough to have probably messed the whole thing up. We have a great map to follow now; this saves us from making huge costly mistakes that we would have to go in and re-work. I cannot recommend them enough.

It’s an absolute pleasure working with Mike, Ariel, and the crew with Symbiosis from consultation all the way through to installation. They are professional, hardworking, affordable, and creative. Most importantly they completed the entire scope of work on budget, on time, and to our satisfaction.

We couldn’t possibly speak more highly of Symbiosis. Our nonprofit, Casa De Miel, is situated on 100 acres just east of Austin, TX. Symbiosis has supported the regeneration of our land for the past 2 years. With them, we have planted hundreds of trees (including  2 acres of food forest) as well as many medicinal gardens. We are collecting our own rainwater thanks to them (65,000 gallons!) and irrigating our whole system with our rain harvest. They also helped us maintain aquatic health in our ponds without any harsh chemicals but rather by supporting the needs of the ecosystem. The list goes on and on and on. They have continued to support the maintenance of the systems they have installed as well as supported in mentoring us in learning to care for our own land and the needs of each individual tree.  Thanks to them we are able to support hundreds of people each year deepen their connection to the earth. More than anything, they are an absolute joy to work with, to be around, and to learn from. If we could give them more than 5 stars, we would.

This company is the creme de la creme. As a long time gardener and environmentalist, I would always be very cautious about who I allowed to work on my land. These folks absolutely know about all facets of Texas-friendly plants, and design techniques that make smart use of water. They are thoroughly versed in permaculture, vegetable gardening, food forest design, native plants, and other pollinator-friendly and beautiful designs. In other words, they know how to combine plants that work together to get the results you want. They are totally professional and pleasant, too, and I felt very relaxed and at ease having them around. Absolutely recommended!
