At Wildside Associates our services include ecological restoration, environmentally sustainable native landscape design and site planning, and a complete range of professional park and recreation services. We create beautiful, sustainable, place specific native landscapes that work with nature, not against her. For over 25 years we have been committed to environmentally sustainable practices that preserve and restore nature at the local level. Our approach promotes conservation of  water, soil, biological diversity and visual resources, which in turn creates a better product for our clients, and a better world for everyone.

We believe-

• Planning and design are expensive endeavors, both in terms of treasure and the time required of everyone involved. We will always respect the time and financial resources of our clients, contractors, suppliers and others we do business with as if they were our own.
• Planning and design solutions will always be framed by the knowledge and opinions of the stakeholders involved. In order to achieve the best results, we need to include as many stakeholders as possible, as early in the process as possible.
• Site design and economic development must be carefully integrated with natural processes in order to be environmentally sustainable, ecologically sound, appropriate in scale and location, and to avoid destroying the very things which make each place special.
• The goal of native landscape design is to integrate the site with the local and regional landscape (by drawing on local landscape patterns, colors and forms) while providing for  human use and enjoyment, to the mutual benefit of nature and people.
• The essential character of any site can be enhanced with native landscape elements and sustainable construction practices.
• Soil, air, and water are gifts and our most precious natural resources.  We must use the best practices available for their conservation and sustainable use.
• Natural materials are generally better than manufactured materials.
• All things being equal, less maintenance is a good thing.
