ECOLOGICAL DESIGN

Our ecological design services are tiered to address a variety of sites and clients from small scale consultations to full custom designs for a property. Our design services go hand in hand with our management and stewardship to create a holistic vision and strategy for your landscape. Design services can follow an established stewardship and maintenance program, or be the part that kicks things off for you. Contact us to discuss how we can best work with you.
