how a landscape forensics consultation works

Investigate

We start with the story. When did the problems begin? What changed? What has already been tried?

Diagnose

We read the pattern and inspect the site - water, soil, roots, irrigation, drainage, exposure, planting conditions, and other clues.

Solve

We follow the evidence to identify the most likely cause of the most practical correction.

Recommend

You get a clear explanation of what should be corrected first, what may need more investigation, and what makes sense to do next.

Protect

We help you avoid unnecessary work, unnecessary expense, and repeat failures.

planting solutions for difficult areas

PRIVACY & SCREENING

Create separation, structure, and year-round function with plants suited to the site.

WILDLIFE & SITE CHALLENGES

Plan around deer. rabbits, shade, heat, roots, wet areas, dry soil, and other difficult conditions.

RIGHT PLANT. RIGHT PLACE. PROPER WATER.

Match the plant to the site, the purpose, and the conditions it will actually have to live in.

WHY LANDSCAPE FORENSICS IS DIFFERENT

We Diagnose Before We Recommend

We start with the site, the pattern, and the evidence - not a product to sell.  Then we identify the most likely cause and the simplest practical next step.
