Are you looking for a low maintenance property that will attract local birds, butterflies, and other native wildlife and organisms? Native plants are the answer. When you use native plants, you are building native habitat and everything that comes with it including fungal mycorrhizae that help trees grow. It just takes a little thought, planning, and knowledge of local species to start your project. Call Oakstead and we will test your soil, and moisture conditions, and stratify your property into ecosystems in order to determine the best native species to use. Landscape Ecologists would refer to Nature-scaping as the “coarse filter”; it builds a habitat base for a large variety of native living organisms, including “listed” species. Consider Wild-scaping: the fine filter, as well.
