Site Consultation

Successful native plantings depend on matching species to the exact physical mechanics of your land. This session provides a structured, site-specific evaluation to turn challenging or overrun spots into functional, low-maintenance native ecosystems.

What we assess during your 1 hour consultation:

Plant & Invasive Species ID: Identifying existing vegetation on your property, spotting aggressive non-native/invasive plants, and providing targeted management strategies for removal and replacement.

Property Microclimates & Aspect: Evaluating sun angles and light dynamics based on your land’s cardinal orientation (North, South, East, West). A key component for Right plant, Right place.

Topography & Soil Dynamics: Assessing slope, erosion risks, and soil character to determine real-world root dynamics and drainage. A key component for Right plant, Right place.

Water Management & Drought Protocols: Guidance on watering schedules during the critical initial establishment phase, long-term maintenance, and practical strategies for managing extended summer dry spells and drought conditions. A key component for Right plant, Right place.

Deer Pressure Strategies: Practical, multi-layered tactics to minimize deer browse through strategic plant selection and mitigation strategies. 

You'll receive a tailored summary report covering every finding and next steps.

By grounding your project in proven horticultural principles, this session equips you with the knowledge and strategy needed to successfully manage and maintain your native planting over the long term.
