Native Plant Installation
We specialize in establishing native vegetation across diverse ecosystems. Our team implements tailored plant selections for coastal areas, wetlands, and urban green spaces. Using scientific expertise, we create sustainable landscapes that support local biodiversity while meeting project specifications for both private and public sector clients.
Invasive Species Management
Our certified specialists control non-native vegetation through integrated management strategies. We combine mechanical removal with targeted pesticide application by licensed professionals. This comprehensive approach restores ecological balance to salt marshes, forests, and riparian zones while maintaining compliance with environmental regulations.
Slope Stabilization
We implement bioengineered solutions for unstable terrain using live stakes and vegetated mats. Our techniques prevent soil erosion while establishing permanent vegetation cover. This service protects infrastructure and natural habitats in coastal and upland environments through sustainable, long-term stabilization methods.
Green Infrastructure
We design and install nature-based solutions for stormwater management and urban resilience. Our systems incorporate native vegetation with engineered components to manage runoff while creating wildlife habitats. These installations improve water quality and reduce infrastructure strain in municipal and commercial settings.
Coastal Salt Marsh Restoration
Our experts rehabilitate degraded coastal ecosystems through hydrological restoration and native plant reintroduction. We address salt marsh loss from human activity and climate impacts using science-driven methodologies. These projects enhance coastal resilience while restoring critical habitat for marine and avian species.
