Ecosystem Consultations

SNP consults on a range of environmental issues related to native ecosystems.

Sound Native Plants excels at designing practical and well-conceived restoration, mitigation, and green stormwater infrastructure plans with the highest potential for success. We know first hand what it takes to make a project succeed because our field crews have been installing and monitoring mitigation projects for over 30 years.

In-Person Consultation Outcomes

We know how every project is different and want our clients to have the best possible outcome for their time, effort, and money spent. That's why we offer three different consultation outcomes, tailored to your specific needs. If you desire a different outcome than what is listed here, feel free to simply ask and we will do our best to accommodate your goals.

Option 1

Walkthrough and discussion.
No additional office time.

We will traverse the project area with you and address your concerns as they are raised. Our specialists will raise concerns of our own and assist in critical problem-solving on the conversational level.

Option 2

Walkthrough, discussion, and summary.
1-3 hrs of additional office time.

In addition to everything proposed in Option 1, our specialist will continue to support your project from the office by summarizing the consultation and suggested resources or plants in a single-page document.

Option 3

Walkthrough, discussion, summary, and follow up work.
4-6 hrs+ of additional office time.

In addition to everything proposed in Option 2, our specialists will complete any follow up work requested during the initial walkthrough. This work can include things like creating plant lists, designing a planting or maintenance plan, or connecting you to reputable partners. Office time may exceed six hours depending on the requests.

Our crews can also help with the next steps of your project! Talk with us about installation and maintenance options.

Length and Cost of In-Person Consultations

Standard in-person consultations are billed at $100/hr including travel and office time.

Consultations can require as little as 1 hour up to multiple days. We work with our clients to assess an accurate time frame for every project and its specific needs. If you have a large project, please contact us at Info@SoundNativePlants.com.
