LAND CARE
Formerly maintenance, UVD offers Land Care to clients interested in the sustainable cultivation and maintenance of ecological landscapes.
Maintenance suggests keeping things as is or maintaining the status quo, “the process of maintaining or preserving someone or something, or the state of being maintained.” We recognize the status quo isn’t always what’s best for nature, and thus in offering more holistic land care we challenge preconceived ideals for what landscapes should look like. We encourage evolving habitat through diverse planting and keeping things a little wild, while expressing artistry, balance and functionality in the landscape.
