Design Services
Aerial Imagery and Drone Services
We use real-time aerial imagery to create overlays which brings the design to life. This service is also available for real estate and other planning needs.
Whole Parcel Design
By establishing a holistic landscape design that integrates solar and visual sectors, flow patterns, and bioregional flora and fauna we are able to meet the client-focused goals with the least amount of ecological and economic impacts.
Environmental Planning
We have many years of experience in the design, permitting and implementation of environmental projects.
- Forest and Stream Restoration,
- Grading and Erosion Issues,
- Environmental Agency Compliance.
Project Management
We are able to bring your design to life with our team of local, independent small businesses and contractors who specialize in the particular elements of the overall design plan. This includes scheduling, onsite monitoring and post project documentation.
Other Types of Design Services
Suburban Gardens
Transforming suburban landscapes into thriving, low-maintenance gardens based on integrated permaculture design principles.
Acreage Farms
The integration of all farming systems (soil, water, agriculture, livestock and habitat) are the keys to establishing a regenerative farm design.
- Developing On-Site Resources
- Crop and Pasture Management
- Beneficial Habitat and Pest Management
Rainwater Catchment Systems
Since the passing of the Rainwater Catchment Act of 2013 High Tide has been designing and teaching about rainwater catchment systems. 1,000 square feet of catchment surface has the potential to capture 600-gallons of water for every 1-inch of precipitation. Our integrated and passive systems will have you catching, storing and using rainwater in no time!
Food Forests
Using a mature forest matrix as a model we design and implement perennial food systems in suburban settings. Once established there is no need for supplemental irrigation or fertilization.
Islands of Refugia
Intensive agricultural systems fragment existing natural systems and the functions they provide. This fragmentation creates an increase in pest populations and thus an increase in maintenance. This can lead to low agricultural yields, increased operations cost and an increase in the use of pesticides. Islands of Refugia provide habitat for beneficial insects, birds and micro-organisms which will increase yields and eliminate the need for pesticides.
