Subcanopy planning
Resilient Landscape Design
Grazing Systems
Vineyards, Orchards, & Working Landscapes
Subcanopy develops structured grazing systems for vineyards and agricultural properties seeking long-term ecological and operational resilience. Each program is site-specific and structured around operational goals — reducing mowing and mechanical inputs, improving soil function, and integrating livestock without disrupting production rhythm.We work beyond seasonal dormancy models, designing frameworks that align grazing, cordon architecture, slope stability, and fuel strategy into one coherent system.
Residential Landscape Design
Subcanopy designs climate-adapted residential landscapes rooted in ecological intelligence and practical longevity. Projects range from fire-resilient hillside planning to habitat-layered gardens that balance aesthetic clarity with functional stewardship.We provide site analysis, planting design, and collaborative oversight with partnered installers to ensure systems are built as thoughtfully as they are drawn.
Planning shaped for climate, care, and continuity.
We design for
Durable systems over seasonal fixes
Climate adaptation and fire-aligned management
Soil function as infrastructure
Operational clarity and cost efficiency
Land that is both ecologically productive and deeply inhabitable
