Native Plant Landscape Design for the Capital Region
Replace your lawn with a native plant garden that works with nature, not against it.
Front Stoop Gardens designs ecological landscapes and gardens for Capital Region homeowners who want a lower maintenance yard that supports wildlife and feels alive.
We turn lawns into landscapes with purpose
At Front Stoop Gardens, we design native plant landscapes and gardens that feel good to live in and are good for the environment.
We help homeowners transform their lawn-heavy yards into vibrant gardens that are more alive – with beautiful native flowers that attract bees and butterflies, lush groundcover plants that protect critters that nestle below, and blossoming trees that bear fruit for humans and other wildlife.
We believe beautiful landscapes shouldn’t come at the cost of the natural world around us.
It’s our responsibility to design gardens that invite life in
“What is the duty of humans?
If gifts and responsibilities are one, then asking “What is our responsibility?” is the same as asking “What is our gift?”
It is said that only humans have the capacity for gratitude. This is among our gifts.”
We believe that humans have a responsibility to ensure that our gardens and home landscapes are habitat.
That’s why at Front Stoop Gardens, we design compassionate landscapes that invite life in.
All of our designs are carefully and intentionally created with a commitment to ecology, utilizing native species, and sourcing as locally as possible.
As a company, it’s our mission to create, encourage, & spread habitat.
