Prairie landscapes offer a timeless and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional lawns. A blend of native grasses and wildflowers supports pollinators and wildlife, resists drought, and builds healthier soil. While established prairies are self-sufficient, making a new prairie is not as simple as throwing down wildflower seed and watching it grow; you’ll have a fair amount of uninvited plants that are all too happy to grow faster than the new prairie plants. Early maintenance and a regular mowing schedule (to simulate fire) are essential to a healthy prairie in the long run. Our team provides the expertise, equipment, and planning required to help your prairie garden grow strong and stable over time.
In the early years, frequent mowing is essential to prevent weeds from overwhelming new seedlings. As your prairie matures, the maintenance shifts to periodic seasonal mowing, selective weed control, and removal of unwanted woody growth. Our approach ensures the long term health and visual appeal of your meadow while keeping it aligned with your property goals and township guidelines.
