**Growing conditions:** Barry County is lake country, with rolling, glacial ground and many lakes. For lakefront homes and businesses, a planted native buffer along the shore slows runoff and filters what reaches the water, and holds the bank better than mown lawn.

**For businesses here:** Lakeside restaurants, marinas, campgrounds, churches and the small downtowns of Hastings and Middleville can all have entrances and grounds that make visitors stop, with plantings that suit lake conditions.

- Do you plant along lake shores? — Yes. Native shoreline plantings slow runoff and help hold the bank, and we choose plants that suit the water's edge.
- Do you come to Gun Lake and Hastings? — Yes. All of Barry County is in our service area.
- Do you build patios, walls or walkways? — No. Everything we do is plants: design, soil, planting, mulch and care. If your project needs hardscape, we can plan the planting around it and work alongside your contractor.
