General Questions

Pantree is a permaculture design platform that transforms your suburban yard into a sustainable, food-producing ecosystem using data-driven planning. We create custom designs based on your property's unique conditions and your personal goals - whether that's growing food, saving water, or creating wildlife habitat. Our weekend-sized action plans make it easy to implement changes gradually over time.

Yes! Our cost savings calculator shows that most users save 40% on water bills and 8+ hours monthly on maintenance within the first year. When you factor in homegrown produce (our users harvest $500+ worth in year one), plus reduced fertilizer and pest control costs, the platform typically pays for itself within months.

Not at all! Pantree is designed for complete beginners. Our 5-minute property analyzer does the complex ecological calculations automatically, and our weekend guides break everything down into simple, step-by-step instructions. Plus, our AI assistant answers any questions in plain English, and you can connect with local experts through the app if needed.

🌿

Getting Started

We analyze multiple data points: your property's soil type, sun exposure, climate zone, existing features, and local ecosystem. We then cross-reference this with our extensive plant database and regional growing data to recommend only plants and designs proven to thrive in your specific conditions. No more guessing - just results.

Absolutely! Our "Weekend Warrior" feature breaks your transformation into 2-4 hour projects perfectly sized for Saturday afternoons. Most users complete their primary planting in just 3-4 weekends. The design is front-loaded to save you maximum time afterward - 70% less maintenance is our target, and our users typically exceed that.

We understand HOA constraints! Our designs can be customized for aesthetic conformity while still incorporating permaculture principles. We'll suggest ornamental edibles, native plants that look like traditional landscaping, and hydrozoning that passes HOA review while delivering all the ecological benefits.

Technical & Practical

Our algorithm only recommends plants with a high success probability for your specific conditions. We consider water availability, sun exposure, soil type, and even local pests. Plus, our guild planting approach means plants support each other - they're more resilient as a community than individual garden attempts.

Our designs prioritize ergonomic solutions. We recommend keyhole gardens, raised beds at comfortable heights, and cluster planting to minimize bending. Most tasks are light - planting, mulching, and occasional pruning. For heavy work like tree planting, we connect you with local services through our marketplace.

This is where permaculture shines. After year one, maintenance drops dramatically. Your plants will be mulched (suppressing weeds), guilded (supporting each other), and adapted to your climate. You'll spend more time harvesting than weeding. Most users report going from 6 hours/month to under 1 hour/month of upkeep.

🌾

Value & Results

A typical suburban yard can produce 30-50% of a household's produce needs. Our seasonal planning ensures harvests are spread throughout the year to avoid overwhelming abundance. Plus, through the watershed community, you can easily share surplus - most users report zero food waste and often trade for items they don't grow.

The Premium features (detailed seasonal calendars, plant-specific care guides, and expert access) accelerate your success significantly. Users with Premium typically see 2-3x better survival rates and complete projects 40% faster. We recommend starting with the free version to get familiar, then upgrading for your first growing season.

Your yard might seem small, but it's part of a larger watershed ecosystem. Every permaculture property creates ripple effects: improved soil that fights erosion, plants that support 10x more pollinators than turf, stormwater management that reduces neighborhood flooding. Through our community feature, you can see and multiply this impact across your watershed.

We have solutions for renters! Container gardens, annual beds, and mobile permaculture designs can transform any space. Many of our recommendations like composting, keyhole gardens, and vertical growing work brilliantly in temporary situations. Several users have even gotten landlord permission to improve the property with our non-invasive designs.

🀝

Community & Support

Yes! Our three-tier support system includes: 1) AI assistant for 24/7 basic help, 2) community forums where experienced growers in your watershed offer advice, and 3) one-click access to local permaculture experts for complex issues. Plus, our design adapts as you report successes or challenges.

You're actually ahead of the curve! Permaculture is growing exponentially as people seek sustainable, cost-effective alternatives to traditional lawns. Our watershed grouping feature helps you find nearby early adopters - you'll be surprised how many neighbors are ready for this change. You're not crazy; you're a pioneer who will eventually inspire your whole neighborhood.

Our Mission

At Pantree, we believe human habitats must function as integrated components of their local ecologies, working in harmony with nature rather than in isolation. We transform suburban landscapes into regenerative ecosystems that support biodiversity, reduce resource consumption, and foster community resilience.

We strive to revolutionize suburban living by replacing resource-heavy lawns with diverse, functional permaculture designs. Our aim is to equip homeowners with the tools and knowledge to cultivate self-sustaining landscapes that enhance both human well-being and planetary health.

We begin with suburban landscapes not merely as a business strategy, but because these spaces represent both significant ecological opportunity and accessible starting points for transformation. As we grow, we aim to cultivate not just financial resources but the true capital of community power: the capacity for people to care for their families, their neighbors, and their ecosystems without dependence on nation states and globalized supply chains.
