Native & Pollinator Plantings

Native prairie and pollinator plantings ask less of you every year instead of more. Roots go down feet, not inches, which means they find their own water, hold their own soil, and feed the insects and birds that evolved alongside them.

What the work covers

What's included.

Species matched to siteSoil, light, and moisture decide the plant list. A species that thrives in dry sand will sulk in heavy clay shade.
Prairie & pollinator bedsBloom sequenced across the season so there's forage from the first spring flowers through fall.
Turf-to-native conversionTurning lawn that costs you every weekend into ground that gets better the less you fight it.
Establishment careThe first two seasons decide whether a native planting succeeds. That's exactly when most get abandoned.
Start to finish

How it goes.

Four stages, in order. Nothing skipped to make a number look better.

  1. 01
    Read the siteSoil texture, sun hours, drainage. The plant list comes out of what's actually there.
  2. 02
    Design the plantingStructure, bloom sequence, and mature size, so year three looks intentional, not overgrown.
  3. 03
    Prep & plantExisting cover removed properly. Natives planted into ground that gives them a real start.
  4. 04
    EstablishWeeding and watering through the seasons where a young planting is still vulnerable.

Year one it sleeps, year two it creeps, year three it leaps. Knowing that is the difference between a planting that gets to maturity and one that gets tilled under in July.
