That’s a wrap to snow season

We are a residential and commercial landscape company dedicated to promoting the use of native plants in PA landscapes.
Serving the Lehigh Valley to Wyoming Valley, Poconos to Happy Valley and the Northern Tier.
With years of experience managing invasive plant species throughout Pennsylvania, we have gained much insight into their impacts on the ecosystem as a whole.
Native Creations has created a niche in the landscape industry, bringing native plants into residential, commercial, and conservation projects to create a functional and natural landscape for the customer and neighboring ecosystems. We have accomplished this by implementing thousands of acres of reforested natural landscapes, working with native trees, shrubs, and flora; plants that are naturally found throughout the beautiful landscapes of Pennsylvania.
Native plants are plants indigenous to a given area in geologic time. This includes plants that have developed, occur naturally, or existed for many years in an area (trees, flowers, grasses, etc.).
Many of the invasive plant species found in natural areas are “escapees” from nearby cultivated landscapes.
Commonly used exotic, ornamental, or non-native plants often escape their intended boundaries and establish themselves into the wild.
Since these plants are not part of our existing native landscape, they typically lack natural competition or predators, thus outcompeting and displacing the native species. As a result, the local ecosystem is disrupted, reducing food sources and habitat for native wildlife and pollinators.
The more non-native plants that are established in natural areas, the more they hinder the vital functions of the ecosystem.
– Easy care
– Already existing in our climate zone
– Prest and disease resistant
– Greater success/survival rate
– Many species are deer/browse tolerant
– Great selection of seasonal colors
– Multifunctional landscapes
– Many native plants are hypoallergenic

The focus of Native Creations Landscape Services is to bring native trees, shrubs, and herbaceous vegetation into residential and commercial landscape projects, creating a better, natural landscape for the customer and neighboring ecosystems.
Over a decade of implementing thousands of acres of reforested natural landscapes, accompanied by an environmental education and years of landscape experience, has allowed us to observe the effects that invasive, non-native plant species have had on natural ecosystems.
With this background we have created a niche in the landscape and conservation industry, emphasizing the need for change in the way we view residential and commercial landscape projects.
