Native-Inspired Vengeance Horticulture
Mergoat Land Design and Restoration rejects the norms of conventional landscaping in an effort to coalesce the human desire for visual beauty with the urgent need to restore native plant communities—for the benefit of a multitude of species.
We collaborate with our clients to transform lifeless lawns and sites overtaken by invasive species into resilient ecological communities—leveraging ecological knowledge throughout the creative process.
SERVICES
We approach the Master Plan from a holistic and ecologically-informed perspective to craft a full-spectrum landscape design and long-term management strategy for your property. We believe this is the ideal way to approach ecological restoration, because it allows our team to consider the broad contours and conditions of your property, working down to the specific details of each microhabitat as we craft a design that melds function, beauty, and ecological resilience.
Included:
- In-depth site consultation where we determine your property’s aesthetic, functional, and ecological goals
- A collaborative process between you and our designers as they draft a master plan for your property
- A finalized design + strategy which will serve as a guide for installation and ongoing maintenance at your pace

Origins
I built Mergoat on the ashes of my former life. In 2017, I found myself in an extremely precarious financial crisis. Dissatisfied, dehumanized, and under supported by hourly wage grinding, I was trapped. I had one thing of small value: an 1994 American made Fender Telecaster. I sold it for around $800, and used that money to purchase a mower, weedeater, and blower. Living in a one room apartment, and driving an old Subaru outback: Mergoat was born.
