Jenny from

Are you looking to create or restore a harmonious outdoor environment without using chemicals?

From small suburban gardens to large forest and streamside areas, we use a chemical-free methodology of restorative weed management, based on careful identification of plants, ecological assessment of landform, fauna, soil, and water flow, and 35 years of observation and experience.

Witness the remarkable transformation of your outdoor space into a thriving natural haven. Watch beauty emerge from an eyesore, through knowledgeable hand weeding, converting weed plant material to free compost, forming fertile seed beds and low-impact paths for the natural generation and protection of diverse healthy native plant communities.

Woodfires safety tips

Plumbing & Heating

Here are three top safety tips for using woodfires:

Regular Chimney Maintenance:
Ensure your chimney is cleaned and inspected at least once a year by a professional. This helps prevent creosote buildup, which can cause chimney fires

Use the Right Wood:
Burn only dry wood. Avoid burning green or wet wood, as it produces more creosote and smoke

Install Safety Alarms:
Install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in your home. Make sure these detectors are tested regularly and have fresh batteries
