The magic potion you apply that makes your garden sustainable and stunning – no matter where you live.

Hi, we're Rayna and Jamie

We started this blog because sustainable landscape design is sexy.

Sustainability is everywhere. Sustainable lifestyle...sustainable corporations…sustainable products…But what does it actually mean?

We’re not gurus or corporate consultants, so we can’t speak to that.

We are masters of landscape architecture, and we know a thing or two about plants, ecosystems and design.

For us, sustainable landscape is designed space that is built in balance with the planet and fits into its natural environment.

Think the High Line in New York City or a small wildflower garden in your backyard. And there’s so much more!

Together, we bring over two decades of design, gardening, tech, and education experience.

At Greensaus, you’ll get expert landscape design advice and practical tips to transform ordinary spaces into sustainable sanctuaries you’ll love.
