Services
Bare Root Natives provides site-specific ecological landscape design for residential, civic, and commercial properties. Our work blends ecological research, artistic planting design, and long-term landscape strategy to create resilient landscapes rooted in place.
Design
Site-Specific Ecological Landscape Design
Each project begins with understanding the land itself. Sunlight patterns, soil conditions, hydrology, and ecological history shape how native plant communities are designed. By working with these conditions rather than against them, landscapes become both beautiful and resilient.
Native plant community design
Planting palettes tailored to site conditions
Seasonal bloom and structure planning
Habitat-focused landscape composition
Analysis
Site Analysis & Ecological Assessment
Successful native landscapes begin with careful observation. Bare Root Natives evaluates site conditions to identify ecological opportunities and constraints before design begins.
Sunlight and shade patterns
Soil conditions and structure
Drainage and hydrology
Existing vegetation and habitat potential
This process allows landscapes to perform naturally and thrive over time.
Planning
Landscape Planning & Concept Development
For larger properties, developments, or institutional landscapes, Bare Root Natives develops conceptual plans that guide long-term landscape transformation.
Conceptual planting strategies
Native landscape master planning
Restoration concepts for open spaces
Integration of native landscapes into development plans
These strategies help projects evolve through phased implementation.
Implementation
Implementation Strategy & Phased Installation
Many landscapes evolve over time. Bare Root Natives provides guidance for implementing native landscapes through manageable phases, allowing property owners, municipalities, and organizations to transform landscapes gradually while maintaining ecological integrity.
Site preparation recommendations
Planting strategy and sequencing
Phased installation planning
Long-term landscape stewardship considerations
Residential
Residential Native Landscape Design
Native landscapes can transform residential properties into vibrant ecosystems that support pollinators, reduce maintenance, and provide year-round beauty.
Bare Root Natives works with homeowners to design landscapes that replace low-value turf with diverse native plant communities tailored to each property.
Lawn reduction strategies
Pollinator gardens
Prairie-style plantings
Native pathways and outdoor spaces
Civic & Institutional
Municipal & Institutional Landscapes
Native landscapes can serve as ecological infrastructure within communities. Bare Root Natives works with municipalities, educational campuses, and organizations to design landscapes that support biodiversity while improving stormwater absorption and reducing long-term maintenance.
Civic landscapes
Parks and community spaces
Campus landscapes
Ecological restoration areas
Getting Started
How Projects Begin
Most projects begin with a site consultation and landscape assessment. During this visit we walk the property, discuss goals, and evaluate ecological opportunities for native plant communities.
Consultations typically last 60–90 minutes.
Consultation Fee: $150
If a project moves forward, this fee is credited toward design services.
