Why Native Landscapes?
Landscaping with native plants and shrubs combined with site-friendly features simply makes good sense.
Non-native and exotic species of plants, because they struggle to adapt to a particular site, are far more susceptible to insect and disease infestation. Native plants on the other hand, having evolved in the very environs in which we may plant them, are often able to fight both disease and insects naturally. What does this mean?
To the environmentally friendly landscaper (or homeowner), it means lesser dependence on synthetic insecticides, fungicides and fertilizers, all of which can have negative short or long-term impacts on the environment.
