Great Plants! Great People! Call Natural Shore for all of your ecological restoration needs- you'll be glad you did! They are NOT LIKE the "other guys"- too big to care. They provide detailed, quality service, and they REALLY KNOW their stuff!!!
Bill and his team were wonderful to work with as I replaced my front yard grass with all native flowers. We also re-stored our creekside with native vegetation. The team was professional and always ready to answer all of my questions. Top notch. Can't wait to see how the plants and flowers come up next spring!
We hired Natural Shore Technologies (NST) to restore the shoreline of a retention pond in our townhome community. Undesirable plants, including buckthorn, were removed, the area was mulched and approximately 4,000 native plants, including woody shrubs/trees, grasses, sedges, forbs and aquatics, were installed. Follow-up was exceptional and any plant material not surviving initial planting was quickly replaced. Technical expertise and subject matter knowledge of staff was solid. All staff were courteous and friendly and seemed genuinely interested in their work and in our project. Communication throughout the project could not have been better. I would easily recommend NST for your natural resource restoration project.
I have been working with Natural Shores Technologies for six years. The team is knowledgeable, friendly, and hardworking. They answer all of my questions and update me on the tasks for the day. A team member always informs me via email when they are coming, and I receive a summary about the visit. The plantings are beautiful and change spring through fall. I highly recommend their services.
We've been working with Natural Shore Technologies for years. They are experts in their field and bring personal commitment to each restoration site they work on with us. We are especially excited about a 5-year wetland restoration project that just wrapped up its first year. This is one of our largest projects with NST so far, and we are very happy with the process, communication, recommendations, planning, and adaptive management that NST is bringing to this project. I can't wait to see what's growing in year 2. Thank you, NST!
