Formal Landscaping: If you want to incorporate some unique and beautiful native plants in your yard but don't want the "wild" look of natural landscaping, we can do it for you. We can develop a design and choose species to maintain a more manicured look.
Natural Landscaping: Natural landscaping incorporates native plants into sites designed for function as well as beauty. Natural curves, soft edges, year-round interest and low maintenance are earmarks of this landscaping style.

Backyard Prairies and Woodlands: Perhaps you have a sunny yard and you'd like to install you own little prairie. Or maybe you have a woodland yard you would like to enhance. Either way we can bring a little bit of wilderness to your home.
Rain Gardens: Rain gardens are becoming increasingly popular as a way to help keep our lakes and groundwater clean and healthy while adding beauty to your landscape.
Wildlife Gardens: We can design a landscape that is tailor made to the needs of your favorite little creatures. Butterflies, birds, and more

Shoreline Restoration: Ugly rip-rap and eroding lawn grass are just a few of the problems facing landowners with shoreline property. Using native wet prairie and wetland emergent plants, we can halt erosion and add interest, beauty and value to your shoreline.

Noxious Weed Control: Is garlic mustard taking over your woodland property or is Japanese knotweed sticking its ugly head up in your garden? We can control and eliminate these and many other problem plants for you.
Erosion Control: Erosion can be a serious problem on shorelines, steep slopes and poorly planned trails. Native plants have a unique ability hold and regenerate soil. Coupled with modern biodegradable erosion control materials, we can stabilize your soil and add beauty to your property at the same time.

Are you interested in doing your own landscaping? We provide Native Landscaping Consulting services as well to help guide you on your way.

Native Landscaping Consulting: Are you interested in landscaping your own property with native plants, but don't know where to start? We can help! We'll come out for a visit, discuss the specific issues on your site and provide you with written recommendations and a list of native species developed just for your property so that you can get started right.
Natural Areas Inventories: Site inventory work is the first step towards understanding the potential and challenges of the natural areas on your property. We will research site history, perform natural community mapping and conduct Floristic Quality Assessments to determine the quality of your natural areas.

Natural Areas Management Planning: A management plan is an essential part of a restoration project. We can help you develop a clear vision, set goals for progress over time and understand the means required for success.
Ecological Field Work: We have several seasons of field experience doing ecological research. We can put together a research team with expertise in botany, entomology, ornithology, wetland delineation and other fields.
Tree Surveys: Trees are a natural resource with great ecological, aesthetic and economical value. Let us help you get a better understanding of your natural assets.
Trail Development and Implementation: Careful planning and construction are required to develop a trail system that meets your aesthetic, interpretive and recreational needs and that will also be sustainable for years to come. We can help repair and redesign old trails and minimize damage caused by erosion.
