Environment Enhancement

At Holistic, we favor a systems approach; improve the ecological system to advance the health of the plants growing there. Our intention is to foster slow-release, soil-building, water retentive landscapes without chemical use. We prescribe:

Soil enhancement—application of compost, wood chips, and deep rooted beneficial plants
Compost consultation—let us get you started on cooking your own soil!
Invasive control
Insect and disease advice and treatment

Erosion mitigation

Everything Else

In a nod to the nutrient cycling and carbon storage that happens in non urban ecosystems, we relish the opportunity to leave woody materials onsite in some shape or form. Let us know if you are interested in processing brush and logs into:

Raw lumber and slabs
Firewood
Woodchips
Custom woodwork— benches, arbors, stools, planting boxes, fence panels, etc.

Hugelkultur construction

Erosion barriers

Bird houses
