About the Local Business

Native Gardens in Schenectady was founded by a self-taught herbalist and gardener with over 15 years of experience, including five years as a professional landscaper. Driven by a deep concern for the environmental impact of conventional landscaping—such as the use of chemicals and non-native plants—the owner created a business dedicated to ecological harmony. Native Gardens focuses on designing and building landscapes exclusively with plants native to our region, creating beautiful, resilient, and life-supporting spaces like edible, herbal, and medicinal gardens. The mission extends beyond installation to education, providing clients with personalized resources on plant history, care, and ecological benefits. Every service, from organic maintenance to custom design, is performed without pesticides or herbicides, supporting local growers and strengthening the Schenectady area's natural ecology.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does using native plants help with common Schenectady landscaping issues like dying shrubs and damaged edging?

Native plants are adapted to our local climate and soil, making them more resilient to Schenectady's weather extremes, which reduces stress and the likelihood of shrubs dying. Their deep root systems also help stabilize soil, which can minimize erosion and damage to landscape edging. We design with these hardy species and use organic maintenance practices that build soil health, creating a landscape that's naturally more durable and requires less corrective intervention over time.

What is included in your landscape design and greenscape design services?

Our design services create a cohesive plan for your outdoor space, focusing on native plants that thrive in the Schenectady area. This includes layout, plant selection for beauty and function (like edible or medicinal gardens), and integrating elements like efficient irrigation. Greenscape design specifically emphasizes ecological function—creating habitats for pollinators, managing rainwater, and building healthy soil—all detailed in a custom plan and informational guide for your property.

Do you offer ongoing maintenance for the native gardens you install?

Yes, we provide organic landscape maintenance to ensure your native garden thrives. This includes seasonal tasks like planting, weeding with a focus on plant identification, mulching with natural materials, and pruning—all performed without any pesticides or synthetic herbicides. Our maintenance is tailored to support the specific needs of your native plants, helping them establish strong root systems and contribute to a healthy local ecosystem.
