Kind words from some of our garden folk.

We hired Ryan and Travis to install an organic vegetable garden. They were extremely patient after we delayed the start date several times due to road maintenance. The garden was finally installed, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Ryan and Travis are incredibly knowledgeable and professional Master Gardeners, offering valid suggestions for planting and maintenance. They listened to us and provided valid comments and advice. Even though our garden was installed late in the season, with Gardenfolk’s guidance, we were still able to plant an assortment of vegetables, which we look forward to harvesting. This beautiful garden has already become our oasis. We highly recommend hiring Ryan and Travis if you’re thinking about investing in a garden.

Gardenfolk substantially increased the amount of usable space on our sloping front yard by designing and building a multi-tiered, enclosed organic garden that blends in beautifully with our site and landscaping. Our young son enjoyed watching them build the garden, and we, in turn, were happy for him to see and absorb how Ryan and Travis approached this project with pride, thoughtfulness, and true care for detail. The enclosed garden came out better than we could have imagined—despite the difficulty of the site, and likely much to the chagrin of our brazen neighborhood deer.

After speaking with three different companies, I selected Gardenfolk to build my garden. Ryan and Travis spent a good deal of time understanding my vision and consulted with me every step of the way to ensure the project was progressing to my satisfaction. Their guidance was invaluable, beginning with determining optimal garden placement based on the sun's trajectory. I was most impressed with the team's meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. Ryan and Travis created a beautiful addition to my existing raised bed gardens and I won’t hesitate to use them for future projects. I would be happy to share my experience with anyone considering a project of their own.

Gardenfolk was absolutely amazing with the entire process of installing our garden. They listened to what we wanted, made great suggestions for the design as well as plantings, and were professional and friendly throughout. The garden looks fabulous and we are so appreciative of all they did to make this a very easy experience. Thank you!

For the past three years, Travis and Ryan have designed, harvested and maintained our garden and we couldn't be happier. It's a big garden, and they make it look easy! We get delicious organic produce and beautiful flowers all spring, summer and fall. They also rebuilt our old fencing and raised beds and it's all gorgeous and sturdy (and earth friendly.) We couldn't have such a great garden without them!

We had a small backyard garden for a number of years but it wasn't much to look at and we had difficulty keeping up with it. Ryan and Travis redesigned the footprint, rebuilt the main garden lined with field stone, and brought in 4 beautiful raised beds. They tested the soil and started plantings in early spring and now we have a sustainable garden that is easy to maintain, producing organic vegetables (courtesy of Gardenfolk's stock), and is an attractive feature of our property.

What is the best vegetable garden layout?

The block layout plan and square foot layout plan are excellent choices if you have a smaller space for your vegetable garden, whereas the rows layout plan and four-square layout plan would be better suited for larger yards.
