FAQ
Quick answers for native & sustainable landscaping in Richmond, VA.
Will an HOA allow a native garden?
Often yes, especially when it’s designed with defined borders, tidy edges, and a maintained look. We can also help you frame the change as water-saving, pollinator-supporting, and aesthetically consistent.
Do native plants look “weedy”?
They can if they’re unmanaged. Our approach is “tidy wild”: massed plantings, simple palettes, and clear structure from shrubs/trees so it looks intentional year-round.
How much maintenance will it need?
The first season needs watering and weeding while plants establish. After that, native beds are typically lower-maintenance than turf, especially with the right mulch and spacing.
Do you do lawn removal?
Yes, typically focused conversions rather than ripping out everything at once. We can convert problem areas first (sun-baked slopes, soggy spots, awkward corners) and expand later.
