Ecological Services

Ecologically-minded landscaping mimics the systems in nature to promote a healthy, balanced, and natural outdoor environment. In every project we do, we focus on the use of native plants, organic materials, and the best use of what is already on your site. Additionally, we specialize in water-wise practices that move water where it is most needed and allow it to soak into the soil, nourishing plants and replenishing the ground water supply, which will protect plants and trees during dry times.

We are experts at enhancing a property’s natural environment while still providing beautiful and functional outdoor living spaces! Below are just a few examples of the services we offer.

 

Rainwater Catchment

During a 2” rain event, you will likely have thousands of gallons of water shedding off your roof. We install catchment systems that can hold a portion of that water to use when dry whether inevitably returns. Storing excess water for use over time also reduces runoff into storm drains, which pollutes and overwhelms our waterways.

Dry Creek Beds and Other Water Strategies

There are a number of ways to slow, spread, and sink water into your landscape, where it belongs. Utilizing a variety of methods ensures that we are replenishing ground water and restoring the natural water cycle, which will make your own yard and our ecosystems at large more resilient.

Buckthorn & Other Invasive Species Removal

We will come up with a plan to help you restore your property to a healthy balance. We offer removal, education, and ongoing maintenance to ensure the long-term success of our efforts.
