Native landscaping is the practice of designing and maintaining outdoor spaces using plants that are naturally adapted to the local climate, soil, and wildlife. Unlike traditional landscaping, which often relies on non-native or high-maintenance species, native landscaping offers a low-impact, eco-friendly alternative that enhances biodiversity, conserves water, and reduces the need for fertilizers and pesticides.
By working with nature rather than against it, native landscapes thrive with minimal care, support pollinators and other local wildlife, and help restore natural ecosystems. Whether you're transforming a home garden, commercial property, or public space, native landscaping offers lasting beauty and environmental resilience.
Terra Landscape and Design has extensive experience designing, installing and maintaining native landscapes. We work closely with homeowners and property owners who participate in the VCAP (Virginia Conservation Assistance Program). Elements of the VCAP include conservation landscaping, rain gardens, infiltration trenches, and other ecosystem-friendly projects.
