Enhance Your Landscape with Sustainable Native Planting Solutions by Mountain View Landscape & Design

At Mountain View Landscape & Design, we specialize in creating beautiful and sustainable landscapes using native plants that thrive in the unique climate and conditions of Washington State. Our native planting services are designed to enhance biodiversity, conserve water, and promote the natural beauty of your outdoor environment.

Why Choose Native Planting?

Native plants are inherently adapted to local soil, climate, and environmental conditions, making them well-suited for sustainable landscaping practices. Choosing native plants offers numerous benefits:

  • Water Efficiency: Native plants typically require less water once established, reducing the need for irrigation and conserving water resources.

  • Biodiversity and Habitat Enhancement: Native plants attract local wildlife, including birds, butterflies, and beneficial insects, supporting ecosystem health and biodiversity.

  • Low Maintenance: Native plants are naturally resistant to pests and diseases prevalent in the region, reducing the need for chemical treatments and intensive maintenance.
