Beautiful, Edible Backyards for Richmond Families

Fruit trees, garden beds, and perennial systems built to thrive in our climate

This is a good fit if…

You want fresh food, steps from your door.

You value productive and low-maintenance systems.

You don’t want to design, install, or manage everything yourself.

Owner-Led. Experience Driven.

Built by a working homesteader.

I’m Dave Robinson - Owner of Backyard Bros.

Certified in Permaculture Design through Shenandoah Permaculture Institute at the University of Richmond, I’ve spent years building productive, beautiful food systems on my own property here in town — learning what does and doesn't work in Richmond’s soil and climate.

Today, I bring that hands-on experience to RVA families who want practical, well-built edible landscapes.

Our mission is simple:

Design with intention.
Plant what thrives here.
Install cleanly and professionally.
Build systems that improve over time.

Every project is owner-led from consultation to completion.
