RootWise Design offers personalized permaculture consultations and hands-on education for homeowners who want to transform their land into a thriving, self-sustaining ecosystem.
From soil assessment to food forest planning, we provide the knowledge and guidance to make your land productive and beautiful for years to come.
We evaluate your land's unique topography, water flow, sun patterns, and soil to create a tailored permaculture design blueprint that fits your goals and property size.
Interactive in-person and virtual workshops covering composting, water harvesting, food forests, soil biology, and seasonal planting — designed for all experience levels.
Learn to capture, store, and direct rainwater efficiently using swales, rain gardens, and earthworks — reducing your water bills while nourishing your landscape.
We design layered edible landscapes with trees, shrubs, herbs, and ground covers that produce food abundantly while requiring minimal ongoing effort from you.
Understanding your soil is the foundation of everything. We conduct on-site assessments and help you build living soil through composting, mulching, and cover crops.
Not local? No problem. Our remote consulting sessions use aerial maps, photos, and video calls to deliver the same quality design guidance from anywhere in the U.S.
Starting a permaculture project can feel overwhelming. That's why we've built a simple, supportive process that takes you from curiosity to confident action without guesswork.
Our team of experienced permaculture designers works closely with you to understand your vision, assess your land, and build a practical roadmap that fits your schedule and budget.
We start with a free 20-minute phone conversation to understand your property, goals, and timeline.
In-person or remote evaluation of your land — mapping sun, water, soil, and existing vegetation.
You receive a detailed, illustrated permaculture design plan with phased implementation guides.
We stay with you through follow-up sessions, workshops, and check-ins as your landscape evolves.

Real experiences from homeowners and small landholders across the country who've worked with RootWise Design.
"We had a half-acre that was mostly compacted clay and weeds. After working with RootWise, we now have a thriving food forest in its second season. The design process was thorough, the follow-up was excellent, and we actually understood what we were doing every step of the way."
"I took the four-session education program and it completely changed how I see my backyard. I went from feeling overwhelmed to having a clear, layered planting plan I'm excited to build over time. Delara is a patient and knowledgeable teacher who genuinely listens."
"The remote consultation worked surprisingly well. They used satellite imagery and the photos I sent to put together a detailed water harvesting plan for our Texas property. The swales we installed last fall already made a huge difference during the dry stretch this summer."
