Native Plant Landscaping

What This Service Involves

Native plants are adapted to the Pacific Northwest, so once established they thrive on rainfall with minimal irrigation, fertilizer, or fuss. We design and install landscapes using regional natives – salal, sword fern, red-twig dogwood, Oregon grape, and more – arranged for year-round interest and habitat value. Beyond the water and maintenance savings, native plantings support local pollinators and birds and give your yard a sense of place that imported ornamentals cannot match.
