Garden Installation
The addition of plants to a landscape provides countless benefits to both humans and animals. However, industry leaders are beginning to realize that native plants can be far more beneficial to the ecosystem than plants which have been introduced. No matter how beautiful they look, or how well they fit in the landscape scheme, the use of non-native plants can be devastating to the surrounding plants, animals and ecosystem. A landscape of diverse, locally-sourced plants will support the web of life, above and below ground, with a reduction in soil erosion and disease.
NATIVE PLANTS ARE
- Drought resistant
- Water efficient
- Resistant to local plant disease
- Optimal habitat for native animal species
- Foundational to biodiversity
- Beacons for beneficial insects
Planting of native species in landscapes is our specialty. By utilizing native plants in our landscaping, ECI strives to provide habitat continuity for native animal species, thereby putting less stress on the ecosystem. With the integration of native plants to replace traditional “ornamental” plants, the landscape can still be transformed while supporting the local environment.
