Reviews for

Peace Place Permaculture

Ensuring our customers' vision for their property comes to life is our #1 priority. That, and making a healthier planet. They're the same, really...

"I'm so in awe of Pat and his team from Peace Place Permaculture! They did this in less than a day!! They're turning a place I've avoided and been embarrassed of for the five years we've been here into a haven and retreat. Fire pit goes in today and micro clover at the end of the week. Somewhere in there a raised bed veggie garden will be added as well. I'm beyond grateful for Pat's vision, kindness, energy, and work ethic. And I'm over the moon about this yard!"
