Native Grasses

Designing with native grasses and sedges offers a multitude of benefits that extend beyond aesthetics. These resilient plants not only thrive in their natural environments but also contribute significantly to local ecosystems. By incorporating native grasses into your landscape, you support biodiversity, promote soil health, and reduce the need for extensive water use.

Native grasses complement native shrubs and perennials to create captivating landscapes.

Grasses provide multi-season interest in the landscape and have the unique ability to appear luminescent as seen in the accompanying image. Some of our favorite grasses to incorporate into our designs are below.
