At Creative Habitat Corp. we often work with landscape architects, engineers, and contractors to design projects that not only meet regulatory requirements, but are also ecologically functional. We utilize the latest knowledge and technology in the field of ecological restoration and in-house analysis of previous projects to produce innovative designs that are targeted to each specific site. Our designs can be implemented without increasing project cost.
Incorporated into our designs are important considerations such as:
- Choosing native plant species appropriate for site conditions
- Controlling invasive species
- Using salvaged sod, plant material, and seed if available
- Protecting the plantings from herbivory and other disturbance
- Soil dynamics and nutrient cycling
- Interactions between plants and animals and their habitat requirements
- The use of non-synthetic erosion control and bioengineering materials
- Observing natural changes over time
- Human use of the site in the past, present, and future
- The importance of long-term maintenance and management
