Custom Pollinator Gardens
Converting a section of lawn into a pollinator garden is the best way to add color, life and curb appeal to your yard. By replacing grass with native plants provides food and shelter to butterflies, birds, bees and other beneficial pollinators, enhancing the local environment and providing a daily connection to nature right at your doorstep.
Native plants are adapted to local soil, climate, and pests, making them more resilient and less dependent on chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Research by renowned entomologist Doug Tallamy has shown that even a small patch of native plants can attract eight times as many birds as a typical suburban yard.
