Sweetgrass Design specializes in streambank and riparian restoration. In a typical situation, erosion creates vertical cutbanks which can be re-contoured and re-vegetated.
We develop site specific restoration plans based on surrounding plant communities, soil conditions, and hydraulic conditions.
Our restoration plans use native species capable of becoming established without irrigation. An important aspect to the success of restoration is long-term monitoring, which emphasizes fine-tuning species composition and implements weed managment as needed.
