At Synergistic Ecological Concepts, we believe that beautiful landscapes should do more than just look good — they should work in harmony with nature. Based in Kansas City, we design and build regenerative outdoor spaces that are rooted in ecology and built to thrive.

From native wildflower meadows to edible gardens, rainwater systems to pollinator patches, our landscapes are crafted to heal the land, support biodiversity, and feed people — all while enhancing curb appeal and long-term property value.

Founded by Derek Nelson, a biologist, gardener and passionate ecological designer, Synergistic Ecological Concepts brings science-based solutions to landscaping, gardening, and restoration work in the Kansas City area.

With a background in biology and landscaping, we blend science with artistry. Every project is site-specific, low-maintenance, and designed to solve real-world challenges like flooding, erosion, and habitat loss.

We work with homeowners, schools, churches, and communities to create places that are not only sustainable, but deeply meaningful.

Let’s turn your yard into a legacy.
