Unsure what might work (or work too well) in your landscape? We are here to help. Schedule an on-site consultation at your home or business. [Let's meet!](https://nativeideasyardcare.com/meetings/lynn-porfirio/meetingrequest?hsLang=en) ### [Consult](https://nativeideasyardcare.com/meetings/lynn-porfirio/meetingrequest?hsLang=en) includes: - Tour of your place - [Discussion of Goals](\) - [Intro to applicable services](\) ## We love what we do. At NIYC, we embrace being different. We embrace diversity and trying new things. We celebrate the world and everything and everyone in it. We work to protect and beautify. These are the values we bring to landscaping and what we will share when we work for (sometimes with!) you at your home or business. ## Some of our Work ![PXL_20251003_160057183](https://www.nativeideasyardcare.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PXL_20251003_160057183.jpg?width=3051&height=4052&name=PXL_20251003_160057183.jpg) ### Before we plant Site preparation is when we begin making changes to the landscaping at your home. Our preferred method is solarizing with clean cardboard and locally sourced mulch. If time allows, we will remove cardboard to allow weeds to germinate. ![PXL_20250426_172017444](https://www.nativeideasyardcare.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PXL_20250426_172017444.jpg?width=3072&height=4080&name=PXL_20250426_172017444.jpg) ### Install For most projects, we will recommend using plug (2"x5") or small 4" potted plants. This allows dense planting with lower costs than larger plants. The native plants we will select for your project are likely to grow quickly and fill in. ![G_20241020](https://www.nativeideasyardcare.com/hs-fs/hubfs/G_20241020.jpeg?width=3549&height=2662&name=G_20241020.jpeg) ### Watch and Learn Once the plants are in and mulched, we recommend daily watering for two weeks. If you can, water by hand. It wastes less and lets you connect with the plants and monitor how they are doing.
