Embrace Native Beauty
Many homeowners today are turning to native plants in hopes that their backyards can become areas of refuge for birds, bees, insects, and other wildlife. We offer design services that can be custom-tailored to include a large number of native species for your garden. If you have a new home or are looking to have a new landscape installation put in we would love to provide you with a stunning native garden design/build.
The Benefits of Native Plants
Native plants are those that are regionally adapted to our local ecosystem and that have evolved alongside other flora and fauna over very long periods. Some of the benefits of planting native species in your garden include:
- Low water usage
- Low maintenance and low input
- Attract and support native pollinators
- Tolerance of our clay soils
- Attract and support birds
- Resistance to disease
- Not invasive
The Power Of Diversity in Plants
Many residential landscapes installed over the last 50 years don’t contain much diversity and rarely have plants native to our ecosystem. These landscapes are often thrown together as an afterthought to the homebuilding process and are designed by commercial architects who use cookie cutter plant selection designed around a very small list of plants that tends to change over time. Think big ugly junipers and houses built in the 80’s.
Our Plant Replacement Program
In our “Native Plant Replacement” Program, we replace generic exotic species in small landscape areas with unique, functional native plants. These species are better adapted to our environment and enhance local ecosystems. This cost-effective program gradually revitalizes your landscape while adding functionality to your garden. We provide plant recommendations for your selection, handle installation, and offer garden maintenance packages for ongoing care. Email us today to learn more about native gardens.
