NATIVE GARDENING & LANDSCAPING

Trident Environmental offers native garden design, native landscaping, pollinator garden design, rain garden design, and ecological restoration services on a residential scale. Trident has extensive experience providing green infrastructure design and implementation, stormwater management and maintenance services for condo communities, and habitat restoration activities.

Trident is actively working to expand these services to single-family homeowners who want to experience the practical and cost-cutting benefits right at home.

THE ADVANTAGES OF NATIVE LANDSCAPING AT HOME

  • Reduced water bill — plants that are native to eastern North America are uniquely adapted to the region’s climate, soil types, and precipitation frequency. They require less watering, saving homeowners money on their water bill.
  • Less maintenance — native plants require less mowing, pruning, and seasonal care. Homeowners can take a rest on the constant pruning and edging to let their native garden breathe life into their home and neighborhood.
  • Support wildlife like hummingbirds and butterflies — native plants provide essential food and shelter for wildlife such as Monarch butterflies, hummingbirds, and American goldfinches.
  • Eliminate chemicals — native plants won’t need supplemental fertilizer or pesticides. Insect larvae of butterflies and moths will naturally outcompete typical pest insects that homeowners hire extermination companies to treat for.
