Sustainable Landscape Architecture:
Native-Plant-Community Restoration

Restoring diverse native landscapes that survive without intensive maintenance requires both a big-picture ecological approach and an understanding of the intricacies of plant culture.

Drawing on practical training and years of field experience, Barr pays close attention to specifying proper site preparation, installation plans, and management regimes for restoration projects. We understand not just how plants will interact with site conditions, but how external factors are likely to influence the area’s integrity. Our goal: natural area restorations that will remain diverse, ecologically functional, and easily maintained long into the future.

One of the most daunting challenges to preserving and restoring natural areas is the spread of invasive species, such as buckthorn, garlic mustard, and reed canary grass. When plants like these become a problem, we can forge strategies for eradicating them and controlling their spread.
