Maintenance & Monitoring

Restoration is a process, not a single moment.

After invasive plants are removed, the land benefits from time and light, ongoing attention.
A few thoughtful visits can keep small issues from returning or growing larger.

I offer gentle maintenance — removing new invasives, checking plant health, and guiding the site as it continues to settle and regenerate.

Most native plants need very little care once they’re established.
When pruning or shaping is needed, I approach it with respect for both the landscape and the people who live with it.

Weed Suppression & Mulching

Bare soil is an invitation for weeds.

After removal, the most important step is protecting the ground so invasives don’t come right back.
Just like a forest floor, your land needs cover — leaves, wood, and organic matter — to stay healthy.

I use thick layers of natural mulch, often local arborist wood chips, to:
    •    suppress new weeds
    •    hold moisture
    •    protect the soil
    •    and rebuild the fungal and microbial life underground

This helps turn damaged ground back into living soil — preparing it for native plants to take root.
