Ecological Design
With its infinite detail, complexity and creativity, ecology is the original art. In the hands of a creative and knowledgeable garden designer nature is channeled into an artistic medium that is dynamic, emotive, and ever-changing. Through consideration of natural environmental processes and native ecosystems we design innovative landscapes and gardens that enhance the environment, are ecologically sound and visually beautiful. Harnessing the gifts of nature to transform your grounds into a vibrant canvas, we also create a space for birds, pollinators, and endemic plant life to sustain itself and thrive. Our unique sustainable engineering can be incorporated into all styles of landscape design and minimizes the necessity of inputs and maintenance by allowing nature to direct the evolution of design. Walkabout Outdoor is recognized for tranquil and visually striking spaces that are ecologically harmonious, naturally diverse and sustainable to help preserve our planet and conserve our native ecosystems. Our designs work seamlessly with residential, commercial and natural sites and our plant palette utilizes a high percentage of native species helping sustain Minnesota's threatened ecosystems.
