Native Plant Installation

What This Service Involves

Native plants like sword fern, red-flowering currant, Oregon grape, and salal evolved right here, so they flourish in our wet winters and dry summers without fuss. We design native beds that support local pollinators and songbirds while dramatically cutting the irrigation and fertilizer a conventional landscape demands. Our crews match each species to its natural niche, placing sun-loving natives in open areas and woodland species beneath your existing tree canopy. The result is a resilient, low-maintenance landscape that looks at home in the Puget Sound region year-round.
