Our Why Story
Urban Dirt Co. started in 2016 to build and promote raised bed gardening as a business because there is a lack of actual food gardening / edible landscape professionalism and consistent regional growing information. As an edible landscaping company, we are able to formalize and foster best practices in urban food gardening. This allows our clients to experience a higher level of consistent vegetable gardening success in their homes and business locations.
The reason we build raised bed gardens for corporate locations, restaurants, and homeowners is to reveal a glimpse of the effort, processes, and delight of growing some of your own food. You will probably not feed your family 7 days a week from your home garden. However, the 2 or 3 meals a week you might harvest and prepare will give you incredible insight and awareness of the task of growing food crops. The skills, effort, and sheer determination of gardeners is a lost art, and we are here to re-enforce the old familiarity of “dirt under the fingernails”! We are a business that operates for profit to support our families and for the purpose of developing more successful vegetable gardeners in North Texas. Our primary business is building and managing culinary gardens for commercial sites. To date (2024) we have built over 200 garden beds in the Dallas area.
Running a small business is a tough gig but this is a unique concept and we intend to make the most of it. -Piper

At this point in history, we should all know a bit more about growing food and its effect on our health & wellness!
