Common Questions

What does 'rewilding' mean for my Medford property, and how do you start?

For us in Medford, rewilding means thoughtfully restoring your land to a more natural, self-sustaining state. We begin with a detailed assessment of your soil, drainage, and existing plants. The first step is often removing invasive species like Japanese Stiltgrass or Phragmites, which choke out native plants. We then regrade if needed for proper drainage and design a landscape plan using native shrubs and trees that support local wildlife. This foundation addresses core issues and creates a landscape that thrives with less intervention over time.

My shrubs in Medford are dying, and my rock garden is shifting. What's likely wrong?

In our Medford area, these are common signs of underlying issues. Dying shrubs can result from poor soil health, incorrect planting for the site's conditions, or undiagnosed disease. Shifting rock gardens often point to improper base preparation or water drainage problems, which are common with our local soil types. We diagnose the root cause by evaluating soil composition, drainage patterns, and plant health. The solution typically involves correcting the grade, improving the soil with organic matter, and replanting with hardy native species suited to the specific sunlight and moisture conditions of your yard.

Can you handle both the design and construction of a patio or walkway with native plants?

Absolutely. As a full-service design-build firm, we manage your project from initial concept to completion. Our design services create a cohesive plan that integrates functional hardscapes like patios and walkways with ecological softscaping. We then handle all construction, ensuring proper base preparation, installation, and drainage. Finally, we plant with native species around these features, choosing plants that will thrive alongside the new construction and contribute to a healthy, low-maintenance ecosystem in your yard.
