- Native plant installation
- From large wetland mitigation projects to small rain gardens, our crew is ready to install any
quantity of plants for your project.
- Native landscape maintenance
- Our crew is experienced at maintaining the full spectrum of native landscape projects
including prairie plantings, woodland restorations, rain gardens, stormwater basins and
residential landscapes.
- Custom seed collecting
- If your project requires site-sourced seed, we can collect and process this seed for you. It is
important to note that the window of opportunity to collect any given species is usually only
a couple of weeks so please plan ahead.
- Custom growing
- We frequently grow orders to meet specific project requirements. We can utilize seed provided
to us or seed we collected. Timing is the most important factor. Although it may only
take 6-8 weeks to produce some of the faster growing species from seed, there is only one
opportunity a year to collect seed — therefore it is critical that you plan ahead.
