Natural landscaping uses Mother Nature’s blueprint to create stunning masterpieces.
Natural landscaping represents a fundamental shift in the way we think about our outdoor spaces, and it’s a practice that our team here at Garden Environments is proud to embrace. Rather than working against nature, we aim to work with it, honoring the inherent beauty and ecological wisdom of native plant communities as we create visually stunning landscapes. By embracing the principles of natural design, we craft gardens and landscaping that support the local ecosystem and require minimal resources and effort to maintain.
At the core of our natural landscaping philosophy is our commitment to using at least 70% native biomass for all our landscaping projects. This goes beyond environmental considerations, although those are plentiful. It allows us to create landscapes that thrive with minimal intervention, so you can enjoy a wealth of natural beauty without having to dedicate hours of your time to tending it. Native plants have been evolving for millennia and will flourish in the soil conditions, rainfall patterns, and seasonal cycles of your property, becoming more beautiful and resilient with each passing year.
Our natural landscaping service extends well beyond simple wildflower gardens. We carefully curate diverse plant communities that offer interest throughout the changing seasons, from the delicate blossoms that announce the arrival of warmer days to the seed heads that weather the chill winters and wait to bring new life when spring comes again. Native grasses create movement and texture as they help support beneficial insect populations, and indigenous shrubs and trees create habitats and food sources for birds and wildlife while offering structure to your landscape.
Natural landscaping is also a key contributor to managing stormwater, reducing runoff while filtering pollutants. It requires significantly less watering, fertilizing, and pest control, reducing your maintenance costs and environmental impact. The practice also supports critical pollinators, beneficial species, and soil microorganisms, contributing to a self-sustaining garden ecosystem.
Each natural landscape we create is a living testament to the beauty that emerges when we align our gardens with the rhythms and patterns of the natural world.
