Welcome to Mindful Restoration 🦋
Hello, neighbors! We’re so glad you’re here.
We’re Justin and Quetzal—partners in life, parents to a big family, and the people behind Mindful Restoration.
We believe the places we live should do more than look beautiful. They should feel good—warm, welcoming, functional, and connected to the natural world around us.
We founded Mindful Restoration in 2017 with that idea at the heart of everything we do. Today, our work centers around native gardens and thoughtful home renovations: creating spaces that are beautiful and useful while respecting the character of the home, the people who live there, and the land that surrounds it.
In our landscapes, that often means replacing conventional, high-maintenance yards with native gardens designed to feel abundant and alive. We love creating spaces that invite birds, butterflies, pollinators, and people in—gardens that change with the seasons, support local ecosystems, and become more beautiful as they grow into themselves.
In our homes, it means thoughtful renovation rather than simply building something new. We look for ways to make a space work better, feel better, and last longer while preserving what is worth keeping. Whether we’re reimagining a room, creating an outdoor living space, or transforming the relationship between a home and its landscape, we approach each project as a whole.
We believe good design doesn’t have to fight against nature or erase what came before. The best spaces feel like they belong where they are. They make room for life, age gracefully, and become part of the rhythms of the people and places around them.
That’s why we take the time to listen. We want to understand how you live, what matters to you, what isn’t working, and what you’re hoping your space can become. From there, we bring together thoughtful design, practical problem-solving, and careful craftsmanship to create something that feels genuinely yours.
At the end of the day, our goal is simple: to create beautiful places to live—spaces that feel welcoming, connected, and alive, and that will continue to serve you and the natural world for years to come.
We’d love to hear what you’re dreaming up.

Native gardens are at the heart of what we do. We believe the most beautiful landscapes are those that are alive—spaces that are part of the natural cycle, supporting pollinators, birds, wildlife, and the interconnected web of life around us. Through thoughtful ecological design and careful plant selection, we create landscapes that reflect the character of our region while providing beauty, habitat, and a deeper connection to the natural world.
Our mindful approach ensures that we work with each property’s unique needs, honoring existing styles, neighborhood guidelines, HOA requirements, and personal preferences while finding creative ways to incorporate native plants and sustainable practices. We transform traditional lawns into vibrant no-mow and low-grow micro prairies, replacing resource-intensive grass with resilient, beautiful plant communities that support biodiversity and thrive in our local environment. From small native plantings to complete habitat restorations, we bring a deep love for our ecosystems and a passion for helping people reconnect with the land around them.

Whether you're dreaming of a few raised garden beds or a lush, backyard food-forest, we can help turn your landscape into a fruitful and beautiful source of fresh food. We design and build raised beds, orchards, fruit tree guilds, edible landscapes, and regenerative food forests tailored to your property, goals, and experience level; from custom garden bed fabrication and installation to personalized consultations on soil health, plant selection, irrigation, seasonal care, and sustainable growing practices, we're here to help you create an abundant space that feeds both your family and the local ecosystem for years to come.

Water is one of the most valuable resources in any landscape, and we design systems that make the most of every drop. From efficient irrigation systems and smart watering solutions to rainwater harvesting, rain barrels, cisterns, ponds, and other water features, we create landscapes that conserve water while supporting healthy plants and thriving ecosystems. Whether you're looking to reduce your water bill, capture rainfall for your garden, improve drainage, or add a beautiful, functional pond, we'll design a solution that's tailored to your property and built to last.

The best outdoor spaces feel like a natural extension of your home—a place to gather, unwind, celebrate, and make memories. Whether you're dreaming of a cozy fire pit beneath the stars, a winding garden path, a shaded pergola, a handcrafted patio, an outdoor kitchen, retaining walls, fencing, decks, or a completely custom backyard retreat, we love bringing creative ideas to life. Every project is thoughtfully designed around the way you live, blending lasting craftsmanship with natural beauty to create spaces that feel welcoming, timeless, and uniquely yours.

Our homes are where life happens, and we believe the spaces we live in should support the way we actually use them. From small repairs and thoughtful updates to full remodels and creative custom builds, we bring care, craftsmanship, and problem-solving to every project. Whether it's restoring an old space, transforming an underused room, improving functionality, or bringing a unique vision to life, we approach each project with attention to detail and respect for the character of your home. We love finding creative solutions that make your space more beautiful, comfortable, and uniquely yours.

Every landscape and home has a story, and we believe the best solutions begin with listening. Our consultations are a collaborative opportunity to explore your goals, understand your space, and create a thoughtful plan that fits your lifestyle, values, and vision. Whether you need guidance with land stewardship, native plantings, garden management, edible landscapes, seasonal care, ecological practices, or creative solutions for your home and property, we bring experience, curiosity, and care to help you make informed decisions. We’re here to help you nurture your space—whether you’re starting from scratch, restoring what’s been neglected, or simply looking for a trusted partner along the way.
