Landscaping & Consulting

Some of the most powerful ecological work happens closest to home.

Landscaping

Landscaping with a purpose

We build ponds and water features that bring moving water and wildlife back to your space, stonework patios and retaining walls that belong in the landscape rather than fighting it, and native plant gardens that are beautiful, practical and genuinely good for the planet.

All of it is designed to rebuild biodiversity, reduce water use, and create spaces that feel alive.

Ecological & First Nations consulting

Restoration and recovery work

Restoration planning for forest, prairie, savanna and wetland habitats. Microhabitat design for nesting, basking and hibernating species. Species at risk assessment and recovery support.

We also develop feasibility studies and business plans for native plant nurseries, ecological training centres and other nature based enterprises, and consult with non-profits, First Nations communities and environmental organisations on programs, grants and partnerships.
