Keystone Ecology works with landowners, nonprofits, and municipalities to create healthier, more functional landscapes. Our services are grounded in field observation, ecological understanding, and practical implementation—whether the goal is a native planting, low-impact lawn care, drainage improvement, or clearer direction for how a site should evolve over time.
Service 01
Ecological Landscaping
Planting design and landscape improvements that support biodiversity, respond to site conditions, and create outdoor spaces that are both practical and visually compelling.
Native Landscape Design & Installation
We design and install native plantings tailored to light, soil, drainage, and the way a space is used. The result is a landscape that feels intentional, fits its setting, and performs well over time.
Rain Gardens & Stormwater Plantings
Where runoff or drainage issues are present, we create planted solutions that slow water, improve infiltration, and turn problem areas into functional parts of the landscape.
Habitat-Focused Planting Plans
We select species with ecological value in mind, helping landscapes support pollinators, birds, and other wildlife while still meeting aesthetic and maintenance goals.
Service 02
Sustainable Lawn Care
Low-impact property care that reduces disturbance, supports healthier landscapes, and offers an alternative to conventional maintenance.
Electric Lawn Care
Where appropriate, we provide all-electric lawn care to reduce emissions, noise, and unnecessary disturbance while maintaining clean, functional outdoor spaces.
Landscape Stewardship
Native and habitat-focused landscapes need thoughtful care over time. We provide maintenance that supports plant health, seasonal performance, and long-term landscape success.
Site-Sensitive Upkeep
We approach maintenance with attention to soils, hydrology, plant communities, and surrounding habitat so routine care supports the broader function of the site.
Service 03
Green Infrastructure
Site-based solutions that help manage water, improve landscape performance, and guide environmentally informed decisions.
Drainage & Infiltration Strategies
We help identify practical ways to manage runoff, ponding, and drainage concerns through planted systems and landscape improvements that work with site conditions rather than against them.
Site Assessment & Ecological Evaluation
Existing conditions are reviewed to identify opportunities, constraints, and priorities so the next steps for a property are grounded in how the site actually functions.
GIS Analysis & Planning Support
Mapping and spatial analysis can clarify patterns that are not immediately visible on the ground. We provide GIS-based support for planning, communication, and better environmental decision-making.
How We Work
A clear, site-specific process
1. Consultation
We begin with a conversation about the site, goals, constraints, and the kind of outcome you are looking for.
2. Site Review
Existing conditions are evaluated to understand how the landscape functions and where the strongest opportunities are.
3. Recommendations
We develop a direction tailored to the property, whether that means planting design, maintenance strategy, stormwater solutions, or ecological guidance.
4. Implementation
Where appropriate, Keystone Ecology can assist with installation, follow-through, and long-term stewardship planning.
Have a project in mind?
