We approach the Master Plan from a holistic and ecologically-informed perspective to craft a full-spectrum landscape design and long-term management strategy for your property. We believe this is the ideal way to approach ecological restoration, because it allows our team to consider the broad contours and conditions of your property, working down to the specific details of each microhabitat as we craft a design that melds function, beauty, and ecological resilience.

Included:

• In-depth site consultation where we determine your property’s aesthetic, functional, and ecological goals
• A collaborative process between you and our designers as they draft a master plan for your property
• A finalized design + strategy which will serve as a guide for installation and ongoing maintenance at your pace

Invasive species management is the foundation of all ecological restoration. Native plant communities are unable to thrive when noxious plant species compete for light, water, nutrients, and space. Many of our native habitats have been completely ravaged by plants like privet, bush honeysuckle, kudzu, mimosa trees, and many more. We provide systematic, species specific, and full spectrum management of invasive plant species.

Included:

• • Site consultation where we walk through your property together and discuss your goals
  • Take an inventory of problematic plant species and develop a management strategy
  • Removal and management of invasive species in stages, according to the strategy

This option is meant to aid the DIY gardener in two ways. First, doing a site analysis gives us a chance to take an inventory of the plants on your property and any special conditions that may need to be addressed. Second, it gives you a chance to work with us as a consultant and collaborator on your projects.

Included:

• • 2 hour on-site visit for up to 1 acre, plus approximately 1 additional hour for each additional acre.
  • Evaluation of basic site conditions including light, soil conditions, and hydrology.
  • Evaluation of special conditions including erosion problems, stormwater management issues, and invasive species.

Follow up Notes: (pdf)

• • Detailed notes will be provided from the visit.
  • Current plant inventory for the site
  • Relevant plant lists for future installations
  • Resource list (books, articles, guides)
  • Recommendations for List of potential projects/solutions for problem areas

Site Analysis Expansions

• • Tier 1 (detailed above): $500+
    • 2 hour consultation
    • Follow up notes
    • Plant recommendations
    • Invasive removal instructions
  • Tier 2: $1000+
    • Everything from Tier 1 + Site mapping: sunlight, stormwater, and plant inventory

    • Everything from Tier 2 + Custom design for site
    • Follow up consultation 3 months after DIY installation

Unlike the master plan, this approach is geared toward transforming a specific location on your property. These are bite-sized projects intended to meet specific aesthetic or functional needs — such as foundation plantings, pocket meadows, rain gardens, or erosion management.

Included:

• • Initial consultation and site analysis
  • Plant list
  • Design/planting map
  • In-depth site preparation
  • Installation of design
  • Coming soon: access to client portal

We offer intelligent management and maintenance services for clients who purchase our design/install packages or invasive species removal services. These regimented visits are tailored to the specific needs of each client. 

Included:

• • Weeding
  • Pruning
  • Invasive species management follow-ups
