Site Visit Overview During our site visit, we will assess the existing lawn and discuss your vision for the meadow transformation. Our goal is to create a vibrant, low-maintenance space that supports local wildlife while enhancing the beauty of your property. Discussion Topics Client’s Vision and Goals: We will begin by understanding your specific goals for the meadow. Are you looking for a colorful wildflower display, a low-growing lawn alternative, or a space that attracts pollinators? Knowing your vision will help us tailor the design to meet your needs. Site Assessment: We will evaluate the current lawn conditions, including soil quality, sunlight exposure, and drainage. Understanding these factors will help us choose the right native plants for your meadow.

Options may include drought-tolerant varieties, low-growing ground covers, or taller blooms, depending on your desired aesthetic.
