Native Landscape Designs

Native plantings can create striking beauty, bringing in beneficial pollinators and songbirds while offering drought tolerance and very low maintenance needs.

We are lucky here in the Minnesota-Wisconsin region, since there are many native species that can fit your unique property’s conditions while beautifying the landscape. There may be more possibilities than you realize. 

Whether it’s a rain garden, privacy screening, pollinator garden or something more you’re looking for, our local native species are ready to thrive while providing ecosystem services.

Native Landscape Design Options

Native plant landscape design can take many different forms based on your priorities. The conventional view of native plantings as messy looking and not low maintenance isn’t relevant when working with a seasoned native landscape designer. Blooms from April-October, colorful winter textures, and a painter’s approach to the landscape combine ecology with art to impressive effect.

Native is in, Now

A native landscape design doesn’t need to sacrifice aesthetics. Tidy species? Check. Plants that breathe new life into the winter landscape? Doublecheck. The list goes on, and native landscape contractors are uniquely equipped to help you apply this to your unique yard or property.

Where to Start

Local Materials, from Plants to Hardscape

Your native landscape can extend further than just the plants chosen. Patios, paths, retainment, drainage solutions and fitting a functional landscape to your modern lifestyle are all part of the process. Durable, locally sourced materials are highlighted whenever possible. We’ll ensure a healthy habitat that’s just as useful for your family as it is for the birds and bees. I also work closely with quality native plant landscapers and hardscape installers who can install part or all of your native landscape plan, if you’re not planning to DIY the installation.
