Woodland Minnesota's woodland communities include the mixed conifer forests of the north and the deciduous hardwood forests of the central and southeast. As with prairie communities, the plants of forest communities differ with varying climate, moisture, and soil parameters. Each native plant community is composed of the plant species best adapted to the area. Our customers are a very diverse group, including large and small businesses, federal agencies and local governments, international non-profits, and private home owners. They all find that restoring native landscapes on their properties provides lasting benefits.
Ecological restoration is also an expression of good land ethics.
In most cases, installing a native landscape costs less than installing a turf landscape. In the longer term, it costs much less to maintain. Though it can be a few years before a native plant community is well established, once mature it can last for generations with minimal attention. A native landscape is an ever-changing environment of color, light, texture, sound, and motion. It provides food and cover for a wide variety of wildlife.
