Invasive plant replacement
After we remove bamboo, phragmites, knotweed, multiflora rose, or other invasives, replanting quickly with natives helps keep them from reestablishing.

AFTER REMOVAL, A NEW BEGINNING
Restoration Planting Services
Restoration planting re-establishes healthy vegetation on land that’s been cleared, eroded, or overrun by invasive plants. The goal is a landscape that stabilizes soil, supports wildlife and needs little upkeep once it’s established.
Property Restoration Program
Our Property Restoration Program picks up where removal ends. After we take out bamboo or other invasives, we regrade, improve the soil, and replant, so you’re left with a usable, family-friendly yard instead of a bare patch.
Plan restoration alongside bamboo removal or land clearing so the finish is part of the job from the start.
RIGHT PLANT. RIGHT PLACE.
Native Plant Restoration
Native plants are adapted to Long Island’s sandy, fast-draining soils and coastal conditions, so they establish well and need less water and fertilizer. Depending on your site, a restoration plan might include:
- Trees
- Red maple, eastern red cedar, pitch pine, black gum, oaks.
- Shrubs
- Northern bayberry, inkberry holly, highbush blueberry, sweet pepperbush (Clethra), beach plum, Virginia rose.
- Grasses and perennials
- Switchgrass, little bluestem, Pennsylvania sedge, swamp milkweed, Joe-Pye weed, goldenrods.
REPLANT WITH A PURPOSE
From Bare Ground to Living Landscape
Erosion control and slope planting
Deep-rooted shrubs and grasses hold slopes and banks in place. We often combine plantings with hydroseeding and erosion-control blankets on steeper ground.
Buffer and wetland-edge planting
Properties near wetlands, ponds, creeks or the shoreline may need planted buffers as a condition of a permit. We install buffer plantings that meet plan requirements and support the environmental work on your site.
A FINISHED FRAME FOR YOUR HOME
Foundation Planting Services
Foundation plantings are the shrubs, trees, and beds that frame the front and sides of your home. Done well, they soften hard edges, add curb appeal and tie the house to the landscape. Done poorly, they overgrow windows, trap moisture against siding and crowd the foundation.
What our foundation planting includes
- Removal of overgrown or dead shrubs and old plantings
- Bed layout and edging designed around your home’s architecture
- Soil preparation and amendment
- Plant selection sized for mature growth, so nothing swallows your windows in five years
- Mulching and finish grading that slopes water away from the foundation
Good foundation plants for Long Island
Inkberry holly, boxwood, dwarf clethra, hydrangea, ornamental grasses, spirea, and compact evergreens like dwarf arborvitae and juniper. We mix evergreen structure with seasonal color so your home looks good year-round.

Restoration & Foundation Planting FAQs
Answers about planting seasons, native species, and life after bamboo.
Have another question? Call usSpring and fall are ideal, when temperatures are moderate and rain is more reliable. Fall planting gives roots time to settle before summer heat.
Natives are adapted to local soil and weather, need less water and fertilizer once established, and support pollinators and wildlife.
Yes. Most bamboo removal clients finish with replanting or hydroseeding, and we can design a new screen that won’t spread.
Eastern red cedar, American holly, arborvitae and tall native shrubs like bayberry make good non-invasive privacy screens on Long Island.
