Native Restoration & Riparian Planting

Plan, plant and maintain native vegetation on your Canterbury property with our native restoration and riparian planting services.

What is Native Restoration or Riparian Planting?

Native restoration planting projects aim to encourage a resurgence in biodiversity through reintroducing appropriate plant species to cleared land and waterways. These initiatives help to restore balance to the local ecosystem, encouraging native wildlife and plants to re-inhabit the area and re-establish a healthy environment.

What are the key benefits of Native Restoration Planting?

There are many benefits to restoring degraded land, however some of the more impactful benefits are:

Mitigating climate change
Restoring balance to ecosystems
Reducing land erosion and flooding
Improving water and air quality
Enhancing carbon sequestration

Our Restoration & Riparian Planting Process

Starting with a free site consultation, we will identify and inspect the proposed restoration sites and review the planting requirements. We review the current condition and location of the site, consider the history of the past and present vegetation, scope the quantity of plants for the site and make recommendations for the plant selections. At this stage we will also discuss the budget and timeline for the project.
This stage involves preparing the site for planting. At this stage we review the fencing and access, determine equipment and safety requirements, order plants and spot spray as required.
The team works through the planting process, making sure all plants are put in place based on the species requirements. The planting will take place based on seasonality, agreed timelines and weather restrictions. The team will plant based on daily quotas, laid out as determined during the planning stage.
We install weed mats and plant guards to protect plants whilst they establish. We undertake a release spray once planting is complete and will support with maintenance spraying as required on a seasonal or yearly basis.
