SERVICES

Erosion & Stream Repair

• Erosion consultations

• Small-scale stream bank repair

• Stream bank aesthetic improvements

• Hillslope erosion repair and improvements

Through our small-scale stream bank repair and enhancement approach, we prioritize the stabilization of streams using least-disturbance practices. Here, we employ hand tools and micro-machinery to return the bank to more natural conditions. We prioritize the use of only natural bedding material which are biodegradable and will not disturb the stream ecosystem. Additionally, we prioritize the use of locally-grown native plant species. The use of locally-grown native plant species is essential as they are adapted to thriving in the local environment and require little to no irrigation or fertilizers over their lifespan. 

Vegetation & 

Land Management

• Invasive and nuisance plant species control

• Vegetation inventories

• Pond vegetation maintenance

Invasive and nuisance plants are not only unsightly, but they also cause environmental damage and personal harm. Through our invasive and nuisance plant control approach, we use hand-pulling and cutting techniques. Additionally, we use herbicides, sparingly, to ensure a well-rounded approach to invasive and nuisance plant control. 

Invasive and Nuisance Plants

• Japanese Knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum)

• Callery Pear (Pyrus calleryana)

• Multiflora Rose (Rosa multiflora)

• Chinese/Japanese Wisteria (Wisteria sinensis / Wisteria floribunda)

• English Ivy (Hedera helix)

• Japanese Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica)

• Poison Ivy/Oak (Toxicodenron radicans)

• Poison Sumac (Toxicodendron vernix)

Gardens & Water Features

• Garden enhancements

• Rain gardens

• Rain barrels

Through our garden enhancement and stormwater management services, we help property owners turn problem areas such as soggy yards, runoff-prone slopes, underused garden beds into functional, attractive landscape features. Rain gardens are strategically placed, shallow plantings that capture and filter stormwater runoff before it reaches streams or storm drains, reducing erosion while supporting pollinators and native wildlife. Rain barrels offer a simpler, smaller-scale option for capturing roof runoff for later use in irrigation. We design and install both to fit your property's specific drainage patterns and aesthetic goals, using native and climate-appropriate plant species wherever possible.
