“In the past, we have asked one thing of our gardens: that they be pretty. Now they have to support life, sequester carbon, feed pollinators and manage water.”


Doug Tallamy

Ecological Landscape Design/Build by Refugia, Narberth (before and after)

Replacing lawn with deep-rooted perennials, native grasses and  permeable hardscaping is the smart way to manage stormwater on your  property; reducing neighborhood erosion, filtering pollutants and  absorbing dirty water before it enters our precious waterways. Refugia  Design/Build based in Narberth create functional landscapes that are  ecologically beneficial, beautiful and resilient.
