American yards are ripe with potential to become vibrant, eco-friendly spaces that benefit homeowners, communities, and the environment. That's why GreenBox Homes has developed a simple yet effective three-step process—Plan, Transform, and Maintain—to turn ordinary lawns into regenerative oases. This approach is designed to make the transformation accessible, sustainable, and cost-effective. Whether you're doing it yourself, or are using GreenBox's Onsite support, this is how we regenerate the earth GreenBox style!
Step 1: Plan
Key Periods: January-February, August-September
Every transformation starts with a vision. We collaborate with our Onsite Members to create customized plans based on the GreenBox Almanac, tailored to their specific goals, preferences, and the unique characteristics of their property. Whether you want a yard that attracts pollinators, grows fresh produce, conserves water, or all of the above, the planning phase ensures that every detail aligns with your dreams.
Using permaculture principles, we map out spaces that work harmoniously with nature. We take the time to understand your property’s soil, and sunlight and water dynamics to ensure that every plant and feature is perfectly suited to its environment.
Step 2: Transform
Key Periods: March-April, October-November
Once the plan is in place, GreenBox Homes brings it to life. The transformation phase involves replacing traditional, resource-intensive lawns with thriving, regenerative landscapes. Native plants, edible gardens, rainwater catchment systems, and wildlife habitats are thoughtfully incorporated to create a self-sustaining ecosystem.
This phase also emphasizes soil health, a critical foundation for any regenerative yard. Techniques like composting, mulching, and bio-diverse planting ensure that the soil becomes rich and fertile, eliminating the need for chemical fertilizers. Whether it’s installing drought-resistant plants in arid climates or creating lush rain gardens in wetter regions, we tailor every transformation to maximize environmental benefits and Member enjoyment.
Step 3: Maintain
A regenerative oasis requires thoughtful maintenance to ensure its long-term success. We provide ongoing support and guidance to help Members care for their transformed yards. Through weekly visits, and careful planning, we ensure that the landscape continues to thrive year after year.
This maintenance phase also empowers homeowners to become active stewards of their environment. Over time, your yard becomes not just a space for relaxation but also a living, breathing part of the local ecosystem.
