Natural Area Restoration

What This Service Involves

Degraded natural areas can be restored to functioning habitat through a planned sequence of invasive removal, site preparation, and native planting. Our crews execute restoration plans developed by your agency or ecologists, controlling invasive species and reestablishing native plant communities. We provide follow-up watering and maintenance so plantings survive establishment. Work is documented to support grant reporting and permit conditions.

Benefits

Our Process

1) Review the restoration plan and permit conditions with staff; 2) Remove invasive species and prepare the site; 3) Install native plantings per the planting plan; 4) Provide establishment care and document outcomes

What Affects the Cost

Best Time of Year

Native planting is scheduled for the fall and winter wet season so plants establish before summer drought stress.
