Holistic Landscape
Management (HLM) Programs
Our Initial Restoration Programs are perfect for those landscapes that have been left to grow at will. We can never tell how extensive the work load might be so contact us for a consultation. After the landscape has been tamed we can continue servicing your landscape with one of our other landscape management programs.
We offer integrated landscape management programs consisting of soil, water, nutrient and pest management as well as on-site organic material recycling.
We manage as a whole rather than simply maintain your landscape.
We strive to optimize plant health, implement resource efficiency and, therefore, the cost effectiveness of the landscape for our Clients.
We provide Composting and Vermiculture Programs for those interested in starting up a home scale composting and/or worm composting system. You can create virtually free nutrients and soil amendments for your landscape! Just ask us how to start the system and we can show you how to manage it yourself or we can do it for you on a regular basis for a small monthly fee.

We provide Integrated Pest Management (IPM) services for landscapes which require a specialized pest prevention program. All IPM services are in addition to HLM program rates; the time consuming nature of IPM monitoring, data recording and subsequent control methods necessitates this fee. Small farms and orchards will often want this service where as residential landscapes can utilize simple cultural and biological techniques to prevent pest infestations.
