Use them as an alternative to high maintenance lawn, to prevent erosion, and to heal damaged land. Plant natural birdfeeders, butterfly gardens, and wildlife habitat. Prairie restoration is good public relations and good business. However, it is not simple or inexpensive, and it's never routine. The best way to ensure a successful planting is to call on a professional restoration company to help you plan, design, install, and manage your project.
All natural systems require management.
We can often use management techniques to restore land that has been neglected, sometimes without additional planting. During the initial period when the plants are establishing themselves, site management is critical. Timing is the key to effectiveness of burning, mowing, brush removal, or herbicide application. Once established, native plants require very little maintenance. This allows us to translate unique client requirements into practical site specifications that work.
