Why a Raised Bed Garden
More Growing Space. More Food. More of What Growing Is Supposed to Feel Like.
You want to actually grow food for your family with guidance, TGL Raised Bed Garden System gives you real growing space. The 19.5 square feet of 3 season culinary garden, purpose-built for North Texas conditions and set up entirely by Piper's team. The set includes 2 or more raised bed kits, fully installed and planted with drip irrigation inside the beds. Our landscape team will prep the space and connect the drip system to your home irrigation system if needed.
An average space of 12 x12 with 4 beds will take average 2 days to fully install and plant. Priced per square foot ranges from $24 to $35.
Our gardening system is set up to include all the moving parts that DIY gardenes generally don't think about. We use cedar bed kits for cost effective labor and longevity. We have a drip system designed for food crop rotations- not landscape plants. We have a planting timeline and crop selections best suited for productive home gardens. We use organic materials and focus on health & wellness of the space and the family.
Here's the thing most people learn the hard way: our soil isn't great. Clay-heavy, poorly draining, and brutal in the summer heat — growing food in the ground in North Texas is a frustrating exercise. A raised bed changes everything. You control the soil. You control the water. And with the right seasonal plan, you're harvesting salad greens, herbs, tomatoes, and edible flowers from your own backyard within weeks of setup.
The TGL Raised Bed is sized for serious home growers: big enough to actually stock a kitchen, manageable enough that you won't be overwhelmed.
Your Backyard. Real benefits:
19.5 sq ft of four-season growing space — herbs, leafy greens, tomatoes, edible flowers
Built for North Texas soil, heat, and rainfall — not generic gardening advice
Three configurations: open bed, trellis (climbing crops), or greenhouse (extended seasons)
Raised design means no fighting clay soil — fill it right, grow it right
A setup appointment handles everything — you don't lift a shovel
"My philosophy is simple: more people should know how to grow at least a little of their own food. It connects you to what you eat — and that matters."
— Piper Klee-Waddle, The Grower's Life
