Ecologically focused garden installation & maintenance

We specialize in native plants, pollinator gardens, and wildflower meadows.

Garden Design

We start with a consultation to find out what do you want to see in your new garden–specific plants, colors, categories, maintenance requirements, and height.

Next, we’ll make a plan/timeline for any needed prep work, finalizing a design and sourcing plants.

We’ll create a list of recommended plants based on growing conditions (sunlight/shade, moisture, height, deer activity, bloom season, and amount of desired maintenance)

Then, we will sketch a layout and send over the layout and our list of plant recommendations for you to review. Together, we will refine the design.

The morning of the installation, we will have one more brief meeting to review plant placements with you before beginning.

Garden Maintenance

Native Flora Landscaping offers routine maintenance for all types of gardens including:

Weeding
Trimming
Dividing and moving plants as needed
Brush removal and general tidying
Routine mulching

We create a personalized routine schedule based on your yard and garden’s needs (most clients receive maintenance every 4-6 weeks).

Once- or twice-yearly mulching is recommended for moisture retention, weed suppression, and a tidy appearance for most gardens. Native Flora uses a premium quality double ground hardwood mulch that is not dyed. This is an attractive, natural option that complements everything from delicate native plants to hardy shrubs in your garden.

New Garden Installation

Native Flora Landscaping does installations for all types of gardens including:

New garden beds (including prep work–chemical free lawn removal, soil amendment, mulching)
Plantings in existing garden beds (anything from foundation beds to wildflower meadows)
Non-invasive privacy hedges
Permeable walkways and small patios
French drains
Edging

We provide a thorough and customizable garden installation process including:

An initial consultation that helps us tailor your garden to your space, style, and needs.
A design process that doesn’t waste time and provides the foundation for your unique garden.
Plant selection and sourcing, including both our recommendations and your desired plants.
Installation with our unique planting and amending process that works well for North Carolina soils and native plants.

After the installation, we’ll provide a plan for maintenance + recommended watering and weeding schedule

Invasive Species Removal

We take an approach to invasive species removal that uses as little chemicals as possible. Most species can be removed in an entirely chemical-free way. Some species require a targeted “cut-and-paint” approach. We never use broad application of herbicides, and always work with you to create a plan that works for your unique property. Often this involves a long term control strategy which we space out over multiple visits to ensure the invasive species are minimized as much as possible.
