Whether you’re a homeowner, developer, or land manager, our team provides expert, eco-conscious planting solutions tailored to your site’s unique needs.
What Are Reforestation and Mitigation Plantings?
Reforestation refers to the process of replanting trees and vegetation in areas that have been deforested or cleared, either through development or natural causes. Mitigation plantings are often required by local and state regulations when trees are removed during construction or land alterations. These plantings help offset environmental impacts by restoring ecological function and improving wildlife habitat, water quality, and soil stability.
Mitigation is not just a checkbox—it’s a long-term investment in the health and sustainability of your land and the surrounding ecosystem.
Why Are These Plantings Important in Annapolis?
The Chesapeake Bay watershed, which includes Annapolis, is one of the most environmentally sensitive regions in the United States. As development continues throughout Anne Arundel County, the need for environmental mitigation has increased. County and state laws, including the Forest Conservation Act and Critical Area laws, often require developers and property owners to plant native trees and shrubs as part of a reforestation or mitigation plan.
Properly executed mitigation plantings reduce erosion, manage stormwater runoff, and restore biodiversity—while ensuring compliance with local codes.

Native Plants for Long-Term Success
One of the core components of effective mitigation and reforestation is the use of native plants. These plants are adapted to Maryland’s climate and soil conditions and play a vital role in supporting pollinators, birds, and other wildlife.
Common native species used in our reforestation and mitigation projects include:
-
Red Maple (Acer rubrum)
-
Sweetbay Magnolia (Magnolia virginiana)
-
River Birch (Betula nigra)
-
Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum)
-
Arrowwood Viburnum (Viburnum dentatum)
By planting the right species in the right places, we help ensure your landscape thrives without the need for excessive watering, fertilization, or maintenance.

Our team stays up-to-date on local regulations and works directly with you—or your environmental consultant—to develop a compliant and effective planting strategy.
