We take clients through the design process from concept to construction
providing plans that enhance the site’s natural resources. We also design for habitat remediation—for bees, pollinators, birds, or other wildlife. We provide maintenance inspection services of native plantings and post-construction evaluation to ensure optimal performance of the landscape. If your project has a natural resource component, we can help.
Our Vision
Helianthus is built on…
…collaboration and respect. We believe we can be stronger working as teams—pooling our talents with others in our network will achieve greater results.
