Field Mowing + Clearing
One of the most impactful services to any property is field mowing. Commercial property owners as well as homeowners reap the benefits of maintaining or increasing their property value with Field Mowing. This solution maintains the overall appearance, safety, and functionality of outdoor fields and open spaces. It helps control the height of the grass or prairie, preventing it from being overgrown and ensuring a neat look. Additionally, our team members can provide the time to remove debris and do a debris pickup if needed which enhances the usability and aesthetics of the area, providing a clean and inviting environment for various activities.
Field Mowing also benefits the soil by promoting better nutrient cycling as the clippings decompose, returning valuable organic matter and nutrients back into the soil. This mowing also enhances soil aeration enabling better oxygen exchange and creating favorable conditions for beneficial microorganisms.

Mulching Services
Our mulching service provides a list of benefits for the property owner and for the landscape too. For the property owner, it’s aesthetic excellence, the cherry on top! It's another component of curb appeal. For the landscape, it conserves soil moisture, acts as a natural weed barrier, helps prevent erosion, and decomposes enriching the soil. There is a wide variety of mulch products but our standing recommendation is to use wood chips. In the realm of landscaping it would be hard to find a better mulch option than wood chips. They cover and protect the soil, prevent erosion, hold in precious soil moisture, reduce weed germination, and break down over time enriching the soil.
Soil Care
Soil care is a fundamental practice that involves nurturing and maintaining the health and vitality of the soil. We strive to help the environment as naturally as possible and this is where our years of knowledge using organic products and biological insect controls come into play.

Control + Replacement of Invasive Species
Invasives that outcompete and disrupt our natural ecosystem can be quite challenging but with our years of experience, we provide a thoughtful approach that involves thorough removal of the culprits. The goal is to replace these invasives with our native plant species so as to return it to its natural state. Invasives such as English Ivy, Yellow Archangel, Tansy Ragwort, and Himalayan Blackberry are invasive plants that we often remove for our supporters.
Once the plant material is eradicated, we have a plan in hand to replant these spaces. We curate a custom plant list of native and ornamental species that will grow and thrive in the great PNW. Some of the plant recommendations may be Western Red Cedar, Oregon Grape, Kinnikinnik, Sword Fern, Deer Fern, Foxglove, and Red Flowering Currant.
