**Growing conditions:** The Grand River runs through Grand Rapids, and Kent County's ground ranges from sandy, quick-draining soil to heavier loam and clay, often in the same neighborhood. City lots bring their own conditions: compacted soil, reflected heat from pavement and shade from buildings and street trees. A site visit sorts out which you have, so natives and perennials go where they'll thrive.

**For businesses here:** Downtown storefronts and restaurants, offices and medical buildings, apartment communities and HOAs across the suburbs: entrance plantings, seasonal display programs, native conversions of little-used lawn and garden care keep them looking cared for.

- Do you work in Grand Rapids? — Yes. Grand Rapids and the rest of Kent County are in our service area, for homes and businesses.
- Can a consultation be virtual? — Yes. Consultations are on-site or virtual, which works well for a first conversation about a property farther from Richland.
