Silas Lindsey is a passionate, experienced practitioner of sustainable landscape and garden design with 10+ years of experience in residential landscaping and gardening — and a lifelong love of the outdoors. 

I grew up running through the paths in my father's garden, hiking in the Appalachian mountains, and exploring my grandfather's farmland along the border of the North Carolina and Virginia mountains. Being able to spend time in the beautiful outdoors and learn what it means to live with the land has allowed me to bring the beauty of nature to people's homes.

When I was 13 years old my father, head of Echo Gardening and a lifetime professional landscaper, started teaching me his craft. In recent years I started taking on my own clients in addition to helping him with his business. 

My passion for creating healthy, beautiful outdoor spaces led me to pursue and complete a B.S. in Landscape Architecture at NC A&T University, further developing my capacity to manifest my visions and bring them to life for my clients.
