About us

Isaac and his wife, Ahna, developed Common Ground Earthworks in 2007, out of a desire to take care of the earth and make the most of the land. They find joy in working outdoors and creating unique spaces that are both functional and beautiful. 

The business name, Common Ground, reflects the belief that this planet and it's resources are shared. Taking care of it is a responsibility and a privilege. Our mission is to enhance the beauty and functionality of the land, one property at the time.
