Eco-friendly Landscaping

 How can we help?

BACT supports homeowners interested in being more eco-friendly by offering a visit to your yard for site-specific advice.  The home visit is free to BACT members, $50 for non-members.  During a home visit, a BACT naturalist will walk through your yard with you and give helpful advice on:

  • ways to attract more birds and butterflies
  • ways to manage your stormwater (reduce flooding, run off, pooling)
  • tree and shrub recommendations to help add beauty and function
  • flower and grass recommendations for different areas in your yard
  • installation of a rain garden
  • shoreline stabilization
  • eco-friendly lawn care including referrals to professional lawn care companies if desired
  • any specific issue you would like help with!
