Eden Keeper is different from other landscape design and/or installation businesses for a combination of many reasons that depend on the unique mix of
services offered as well as the value provided. The niche of Eden Keeper is landscape design, installation, and maintenance with a focus on using native plants as well
themes such as eatable and Biblical gardens.
The value of service has factors beyond just the initial
cost of an installation. Landscape designs are custom and often functional such as when eatable themes are incorporated. Rather than looking full at the moment of installation the designs are planned to accommodate future growth and avoid the excessive maintenance that will be required for an overgrown landscape. Another way of keeping cost low is using hand tools rather than heavy equipment thus being better for the plants because soil compaction that can result in sterile patches is avoided.
Ecology is put ahead of immediate profit because it is better to ensure plants will survive at a location than to risk dissatisfaction should any die later. Installation of invasive exotic plants is taboo due to the excessive expense of removal when they become to weedy. Within these constraints
design can vary from formal to whimsical.
Here are some of the ways Eden Keeper may differ from the competition: Provides both design plans and installation rather than just one service or the other where the former is often at a premium. Has an extensive knowledge of native trees and shrubs with a focus on the best plant choices rather than the most lucrative. Offers hiking
trail installation as a primary service, and unaware of any other local landscape companies that do so. Lower overhead whether it be heavy equipment or an inventory of ubiquitous plants. Focus on low maintenance services such as xeriscaping rather than high maintenance services such as irrigated lawns.
