Here is what clients are saying about NativeScapes:

I’ve been a long time searching the commercial greenhouses and garden centers for somebody who truly understands the value of going native. Nancy and NativeScapes are the colorful, creative, and ecologically sustainable answers to those generic, uninspired, and—in too many cases—environmentally unfriendly warehouse brands of floral landscaping that have undersold America’s natural beauty. NativeScapes is the green and graceful way back to your native roots.

Instead of recommending more fertilizer, more mowing and watering, and more of that same old lifeless turf to revive our languishing yard, NativeScapes showed us a gentler, more imaginative way. Using native plants already growing on our property, NativeScapes designed a carefree, inviting, and environmentally-friendly landscape whose natural beauty just continues to grow.
As a Realtor, I make sure every one of my clients who buys a house gets a gift certificate to NativeScapes.  It’s not only a lasting investment in their home, it’s an investment in nature.

It was great working with Nancy.  She is incredibly knowledgeable and imaginative.   She works very collaboratively.  I had a vision of what I wanted and she provided the knowledge to carry it out.  And she went out of her way to work with and instruct the landscape company I had hired when I could not be there.

Shortly after purchasing our first home a friend gave us a gift certificate from NativeScapes. Since our home had existing landscaping it was a great opportunity to find out what we had on our property and learn how to use native plants to make our garden better.  Nancy was friendly and very knowledgeable about what could be done to enhance plants already in
our garden.  She had great suggestions for replacement plants and provided great lists and suggestions for possible vendors.  Nancy is a great resource!

Corporate consultation – Receive an in depth audit of existing landscape flora and practices.  We inventory your current plant species, assess landscape maintenance and evaluate current horticultural procedures and give you a full report for your reference.  Our audits include suggestions for sustainable landscaping practices and give suggestions for hardy and low-maintenance native plants.  Earth-friendly plans include plant care, pruning, and healthful fertilizer requirements.  You avoid expensive mistakes and create an image that reflects well on you, without expensive or time-consuming upkeep. 

Home consultation - We give personalized advice for your yard or site based on environmentally sound practices and evaluate plant health, identify existing plants, suggest landscape designs, and make suggestions for easy-care native plants.  You receive native plant and maintenance recommendations best suited for your individual landscape.  Environmentally sound planning means you aid the environment while you beautify it.

Soil analysis - Accurate soil analysis provides important information regarding the health of your soil.  A lab-performed test will give results on soil pH and soil nutrients.  Knowing your soil type makes proper plant placement easy, helps predict plant growth, and avoids the expensive common mistake of over fertilization.
