Cultivated with purpose

We’re deeply committed to restoring and sustaining a natural balance in our landscape. We’re immersed in science and the research of native vegetation. We take pride in our nuanced understanding of layering plant species that will coexist in harmony to promote healthy, natural diversity. We draw on our 10 years of ecological restoration experience to work closely with you to plan and plant your new WildLawn, and see it thought to success for the long term.

We absolutely love it!
— Philadelphia-based nature center
It’s quite a lot of fun to watch our little dogs explore the lawn - and now its safe for them, too!
— Rob and Becky P., primary homeowners
It is simply awesome that I don’t have to stress out about mowing the lawn all the time; my wife actually likes the soft appearance of our new lawn!
— Markus B., country-home owner
I wish our neighbors would get a lawn like ours so we wouldn’t have to hear their lawnmowers all weekend

Native habitats and ecosystems

— IN FROM THE WILD —

Many amazing native species have been “rediscovered” through restoration efforts, after their natural ranges diminished due to farming and urban sprawl. We’ve taken the best, grown them, tested them, and tested them again to be confident that they will succeed in a wide range of landscapes.

— EARLY SUCCESSION —

Our native grass and flower lawn species would have normally colonized a newly exposed, sunny or even shady site (like a lawn area) but have been pushed out by generations of development. These species often set the foundation for larger flowering species, particularly on the edges, to take hold and thrive. This is what promotes the rediversification of habitats.

— WHY MOW? —

Technically, your new lawn doesn’t need mowing to thrive. But mowing occasionally mimics the browsing of herbivores, which keeps tree and shrub seedlings from becoming established. Plus, mowing can help make your lawn look like your neighbor’s lawn—for when you have in-laws over for a barbeque.



 

Traditional lawns? Time to move on!

Let’s face it: all that deep-emerald green is hard on the wallet, and on the environment. The “perfect lawn” is a vestige of the past, and a testament to the power of old habits to enslave our imaginations. The fuel and time consumed! The hydrocarbon-based fertilizers and pesticides marinating suburbia in the name of weed and pest control! Is there no end? It’s time to rethink the lawn for the 21st century!
