Ongoing Maintenance & Care

Embrace the Local Ecosystem: Design landscapes that minimize disturbance, support pollinators, and consider wildlife.
Preserve Native Vegetation: Select native plants and adapted species and take measures to protect and revegetate disturbed soil.
Use Effective Water Management Practices: Create hydrozones and conserve water.
Actively Manage Weeds: Nature is dynamic, therefore land stewardship must also be active and ongoing. Weeds (both noxious and nuisance) will find an opportunity if there is one, thus weed management is an annual effort.
Ongoing Maintenance and Care: Regularly assess your landscape for the safety of your home and the health of your plants.
