Turning Landscape into Legacy

landscape design approach
Design should be beautiful, functional, resilient, and ecologically responsible. It should enhance life on earth, not burden it. Our philosophy is rooted in permaculture principles—modeling nature’s own intelligence to create systems that are both self-sustaining and regenerative.
Our strategy begins with analysis and observation of local ecology and client goals, evolving into integrated system design—where soil, water, and plant communities work in harmony. Every design aims to build living landscapes that yield abundance while restoring the land’s natural balance. Increasingly, our focus is on nutrient-dense foodscapes: gardens engineered to produce the maximum nutritional value per square foot, supporting human health span as much as ecosystem health.
what we do
Edible Landscape/Food Forest Design
We design and build landscapes that feed you back. From backyard orchards and food forests to kitchen gardens and pollinator havens, every space is tailored to your ecology and lifestyle. Our approach blends permaculture principles with practical design so your landscape isn’t just beautiful—it’s productive, resilient, and alive.
Urban Vineyard Design
Turn your backyard into wine country. We specialize in small-scale, site-specific vineyard design for the Pacific Northwest. From selecting cold-hardy varietals to trellis design and irrigation planning, we bring vineyard craft to the city lot. Whether your goal is a few bottles for the table or a neighborhood wine project, we’ll help you plant vines that thrive.
Landscape Consulting
Not sure where to start? We offer full-site consultations and custom design plans that integrate food production, ecological resilience, and long-term maintenance strategies. Every design comes with clear steps so you can move forward at your own pace.
Fruit Tree and Vine Pruning
Most companies over-prune in winter — cutting too hard, too soon, and leaving trees full of water sprouts by spring. At Pendragon Orchard & Vine, we take a seasonal approach rooted in plant physiology. Our winter and summer pruning program works with the tree’s natural rhythms: structural work in winter, growth control and fruit balance in summer. Every cut serves a purpose — to direct energy, invite light, and build long-term resilience. Whether you have a young espalier, a mature orchard, or a few backyard fruit trees, we design pruning programs that keep them productive, healthy, and beautiful in the Pacific Northwest climate.
Fragrance Garden Design
We’ve learned to see our gardens, but too often we’ve forgotten how to smell them. A well-designed fragrance garden brings emotion back into landscape design — memory, calm, and belonging. At Pendragon Orchard & Vine, we design Pacific Northwest gardens that engage all the senses. From citrus-scented Daphne in late winter to summer’s roses, herbs, and figs, fragrance becomes the quiet architecture that ties a space together. We select species for seasonal bloom cycles, microclimate, and pollinator value, creating gardens that are as restorative as they are resilient.
