Learn how Orlando families are turning their land into edible, regenerative estates with backyard food forests designed for beauty, yield, and legacy.
THE GROW FOOD COMPANY
Most “landscaping” projects stop at beauty. Our work goes further. Every project in this portfolio is a living system—engineered to grow fruit, herbs, perennial greens, and biodiversity while increasing property value and long‑term resilience. From backyard food forests in Orlando to full estate‑scale edible landscapes, each design is tailored to the owner, the land, and a clear performance outcome.
This portfolio is a record of real residential food forest and regenerative landscape projects we’ve designed across Florida. You’ll see compact backyard systems, mid‑scale homestead plans, and large estate masterplans—all structured as long‑term land assets rather than one‑off garden installs. Owner names and addresses have been removed for privacy, but the design logic, tier structure, and planting strategy are exactly what clients receive through our Design Retainer.
Tier 1 projects focus on turning underutilized lawn into a compact, high‑performance food forest. These designs typically cover around 1,000–6,000 square feet and include 5–9 fruit trees supported by shrubs, pollinators, groundcovers, and biomass plants. The goal: create a beautiful, simple system that starts producing quickly and can be expanded over time.
Tier 2 projects step beyond a single food forest patch and start orchestrating multiple zones across the property. These designs typically span 2,250–4,800 square feet and include 11–15 fruit trees plus raised beds, companion plant guilds, chicken coop plans, and pollinator alleys. They’re ideal for homeowners who want a cohesive, regenerative landscape that supports daily harvests and family life.
Tier 3 projects are full property strategies—often 10,000–27,800+ square feet of integrated fruit trees, agroforestry lines, recreation spaces, pollinator meadows, and shady crop zones. These designs are built for owners who see their land as a generational asset: something that should feed family and guests, protect soil and water, and hold its value over decades.
