Common Questions
How can LandHealth Institute help with overgrown or unhealthy shrubs in my Philadelphia yard?
We offer a full suite of shrub care services tailored to Philadelphia's climate and common issues like disease and pests. For overgrown shrubs, our expert pruning and trimming not only improves appearance but also promotes plant health. If a shrub is diseased, we provide targeted management. We can also carefully transplant healthy shrubs to a better location or remove and replace them with a hardy native species from our nursery that will thrive with less maintenance.
Do you offer landscape design services for community gardens or public spaces?
Absolutely. As a nonprofit focused on community and ecological health, landscape design for shared spaces is central to our mission. We provide design services that integrate native plants, functional greenspaces, and sustainable irrigation systems. Our process is collaborative, working directly with community groups to create master plans for gardens, parks, and urban arboreta that are resilient, educational, and foster neighborhood connections.
What does 'ecological restoration' mean for a typical residential landscaping project?
For us, it means designing and building landscapes that work with Philadelphia's natural environment, not against it. This goes beyond aesthetics to create a healthy, low-maintenance ecosystem. We use native plants that support local wildlife and require less water, design irrigation systems to conserve resources, and employ maintenance practices that improve soil and plant health over time. The result is a beautiful, vibrant yard that contributes to the broader ecological well-being of our city.
