🌿 Landscaping & Wildlife Habitat FAQ

Why should I care about native landscaping?

Lawns made of non-native turfgrass offer little to no food or shelter for birds, butterflies, or pollinators. Native plants, on the other hand, create vital habitat for the species we love—especially monarchs, native bees, and songbirds—many of which are endangered or declining.

How does native landscaping help the environment?

Native landscapes:

  • Require less water and maintenance

  • Eliminate the need for chemical pesticides and fertilizers

  • Restore local biodiversity

  • Support pollinators and natural pest control (like birds that eat mosquitos!)

Is it true that diverse planting reduces mosquitos?

Yes! Monoculture lawns with poor drainage are ideal breeding grounds for mosquitos. By adding native plants and creating layered, healthy ecosystems, we attract beneficial predators like dragonflies, birds, and frogs that help keep pest populations in check—naturally.

What’s a Certified Wildlife Habitat and how do I get one?

The National Wildlife Federation certifies spaces that provide food, water, shelter, and nesting opportunities for wildlife. We specialize in designing and supporting clients through this process—whether it’s a backyard, business front, or community space. It’s a meaningful, tangible step toward conservation.

Do you charge for consultations?

Yes. We believe your land deserves thoughtful, professional care.

  • Initial consultation starts at $100 for up to 2 hours, including a walk-through, site analysis, and conversation about your goals.

  • After that, pricing depends on the size, complexity, and services needed. We offer everything from DIY guidance to complete turnkey installations.

Can you help my lawn care company go chemical-free or offer eco-services?

Absolutely. We offer workshops and training for landscapers, HOAs, and green service providers looking to transition to regenerative practices. If you're ready to stand out and serve clients who care about the planet, we're here to help.
