Residential Wildscapes

Installing a new garden requires vision and commitment. We understand and have created a variety of garden styles and can respond to your individual taste. Native plants are ideal for your home wildscape because they are hardy and beautiful. As a homeowner you will need to work less to keep your home looking its best.

Maintenance Services

Plants go through seasonal and even decades-long lifecycles. Proper maintenance not only keeps wildscapes tidy, it supports the longevity of the plants in your garden. Few gardens, especially in a suburban setting, can be considered maintenance-free. They will require weeding, pruning, replacement planting, mulching and deadheading. Depending on your needs, maintenance can take place weekly, monthly or seasonally.

How We Work


The design process allows you to visualize your landscape and provide feedback on the plant choices.We design our landscapes around the use of landscape plugs, selective seeding and bulbs. We prefer to use predominantly native plants. Our designs produce dense flower and shrub meadows that crowd out weeds, reduce maintenance and support our native butterflies, birds and mammals.​

Site and Plant Review
We visit your site to determine sun and moisture conditions, special features or topographical considerations. Then we discuss your color and height preferences.

Site Preparation​

This can involve removing existing plants or simply killing or removing turf. The steps taken are determined by your existing landscape. 
​

​Three Stages of Planting
Our typical installations occur in three stages:
1) Planting plugs, 3" pots and shrubs in spring or fall.
2) Seeding with selected flower seeds in the fall.
​3) Planting bulbs in the fall.

We love using organic products for of all our work.
