CONSULTATION / SELECTION OF NATIVE PLANTS
We consult and recommend selections of native plants for the project you are planning. To minimize carbon footprint all vegetations used in re-naturalization
projects are sourced at recognized nurseries that are as close to the project as possible.
Many nurseries sell out early of native species early. Get in touch with us early to secure your order. 
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a decision-making process, based on scientific knowledge that combines cultural biological, physical and chemical tools. IPM reduces risk from pests in a way that minimizes negative environmental impacts. This is the approach we used in your gardens all season, avoiding pesticide use.
Japanese Beetle Here are a few examples:
- Along with strong water spray, the introduction of predatory insects was effective at controlling aphids that deformed leaves of certain plants
- - For the gypsy moth caterpillers (Lymantria dispar), present in large numbers this year in some locations, we performed manual removal and elimination of the caterpillars, the adult moths and egg cases.
- The japanese beetles (pictured here) were removed with a vacuum, individually inspected and sorted. Those infected by the parasitic fly egg (Istocheta aldrichi ) a natural predatory insect, were then released back at the site of capture. The egg is seen clearly as the white dot in the photo. This allowed the fly to continue it’s life cycle. Of the 3357 counted beetles, 13% were infected.

ONGOING PROJECT MANAGEMENT
DIY or we take it on. You want to do the project yourself? No problem. If you are unable to perform the work however, in certain cases
we can manage both installation and maintenance. Ecological landscape projects are low maintenance once plants have established
themselves. (Two to three years).
We are happy to design a succession plan to assist you with these tasks. Our goal is a satisfied project and a happy client.
DESIGN SERVICES
Site assessment, analysis, design plans.
Following an on site visit and partial or complete analysis of your property vegetation, we will design plans for your project. Our designs are personalized and incorporate natural elements. We can include existing plants when necessary all the while focusing on long term, sustainability and low maintenance native plants.
- Rainwater systems and rain gardens can be added where necessary to capture and contain storm water.
COMPOST TEA applications support soil life and plant health. The soil food web is a complex ecosystem, composed of billions of living organisms that contribute to energy flow through soil. Insects, mites, beneficial nematodes, worms, bacteria and other organisms,
break down organic material and increase availability of nutrients to plants. Our compost tea applications contribute to increase beneficial micro-organism and biological activity in soils. Applied as a foliar spray, compost teas help increase plant resistance to many pathogens and pests. Contact us for an estimate and reserve your application today. Application of prepared tea starts at 200$ for an average size garden.
