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.
