Along with our dedication to designing and maintaining beautiful landscapes, we are equally dedicated to contributing to a healthy environment for all of us.
Our commitment to using native plant material means plants grow in their natural setting among the elements they inherently crave in terms of their need for water, sun and natural nutrients. As such, we design to encourage a reduced need for supplemental watering with an emphasis on proper plant selection and placement. Furthermore, we foster a nutrient-rich environment through our choice in soil products and amendment techniques.
No one likes weeds and pests, including us. That's why we're committed to using eco-friendly alternatives to keep them at bay! Our landscape team is trained in integrated pest management techniques and natural weed suppression methods. Our strategy includes working from the soil up creating the healthiest environment possible for the landscape, not only so the plants flourish, but so the natural ecosystem thrives as well. If necessary, we use mulches or natural products to aid in weed suppression and/or to increase the beneficial insects.

Now that Spring has sprung, it's a great time to mulch! Mulching in the Spring can help keep weed seeds from germinating, reduce runoff, and improve your soil's health and structure. When you mulch-mow, leaving the grass clippings on the lawn, you're actually doing your turf a favor!
