Land Work

RESTORATION //ACTION

We do not 'maintain' landscapes; we repair them. Our work focuses on reversing soil degradation, removing invasive pressure, and re-establishing functional native biomass.

Restoration Protocols

  • We systematically remove aggressive non-natives (Stiltgrass, Barberry, Knotweed) that choke out diversity. We replace them with dense native matrices that suppress weeds naturally and provide high-value forage for wildlife.

  • We source strict native genotypes adapted to our local climate. Our planting palettes are designed to offer continuous bloom times for pollinators and structural shelter for ground-nesting birds.

  • Lawn-to-Habitat conversion. Transitioning chemical turf into resilient wildflower meadows. We manage the succession from bare ground to complex grassland, creating a low-maintenance, high-impact carbon sink.

  • Healthy plants start with fungal-dominant soil. We use aerated compost teas and organic amendments to restore the soil food web, allowing plants to access nutrients without synthetic fertilizers.

Work with us

01. INVASIVE REMOVAL & RESTORATION

We systematically remove aggressive non-natives (Stiltgrass, Barberry, Knotweed) that choke out diversity. We replace them with dense native matrices that suppress weeds naturally and provide high-value forage for wildlife.

02. NATIVE PLANTING DESIGN

We source strict native genotypes adapted to our local climate. Our planting palettes are designed to offer continuous bloom times for pollinators and structural shelter for ground-nesting birds.

03. MEADOW ESTABLISHMENT

Lawn-to-Habitat conversion. Transitioning chemical turf into resilient wildflower meadows. We manage the succession from bare ground to complex grassland, creating a low-maintenance, high-impact carbon sink.

04. REGENERATIVE SOIL SYSTEMS

Healthy plants start with fungal-dominant soil. We use aerated compost teas and organic amendments to restore the soil food web, allowing plants to access nutrients without synthetic fertilizers.

Why we rewild.

01 // WATER Native root systems absorb 4x more stormwater than lawn, reducing erosion and flooding.

02 // CARBON Meadows act as carbon sinks, sequestering CO2 in the soil profile year-round.

03 // LIFE A single Oak tree supports 500+ species of caterpillar. A lawn supports zero. We choose the Oak.

Seasonal Protocols

Spring 

EMERGENCE / March–May

Soil testing for biological activity. Diagnostics. Cutback of perennials only after 50°F to protect overwintering pollinators.

Summer 

POLLINATION / June-August

Competition strategy. Targeted removal of invasives before seed set. Monitoring for drought stress.

Autumn 

NUTRIENT CYCLING / September-November

Biomass management. Shredding leaf litter in-situ to create the natural 'duff layer' for insulation.

Winter

DORMANCY / December-February

Structural pruning and hardscape analysis. The landscape rests; the planning begins.
