Custom orchard & berry planting plan

I plan a fruit planting for your actual ground. Send me your location or hardiness zone, how much sun the spot gets, how it drains, your soil if you know it, and what you want out of it (eating apples, cider, jam, a berry patch, a u-pick). I send back one written plan you can plant from: - a row-by-row layout with the exact varieties and rootstocks, sized to your space - pollinizer pairings, so the block actually sets fruit - spacing and a bare-root planting sequence - a first-year water schedule and an organic spray schedule matched to your disease pressure - what fruits first, and roughly when the money comes back Built for cold climates and for sandy or heavy ground. If your ground cannot carry what you want, I tell you that and point you at what it can carry. Delivery is a written document (PDF or Markdown). One revision included. I may ask up to three short questions before I start.

Behind the work

Meet Matt

I build planting plans for small orchards and berry blocks on real ground. You tell me your hardiness zone, sun, drainage and soil, and what you want out of it, and I send back a row-by-row layout: varieties, rootstocks, spacing, pollinizer pairings, a first-year water and organic-spray schedule, and where the money is. My own work is a 30-plant block on sandy ground in southwest Michigan, so I plan for cold, sand, and real disease pressure instead of spraying my way out of it. If your ground cannot carry what you want, I will tell you before you buy a tree.

Before you order

Shop policies

One custom plan per order, delivered as a written document inside the delivery window. One revision included: if I read your site or your goal wrong, tell me and I will rework it. I ask up to three short questions before I start. Your details stay private. If I cannot give you something honest and useful, I will say so and you keep your money.
