TL;DR version: Book an estimate now for wetland restoration.
Swamps are rich, vibrant ecosystems, and the plants in these wetlands play a crucial role in keeping them healthy. Specifically, swamp plants thrive in waterlogged soil, helping to filter pollutants, control erosion, and support wildlife. For eco-conscious homeowners, planting native swamp species is not only a way to enhance the landscape but also a powerful method to restore and protect wetland areas.
Why Choose Native Swamp Plants?
Native swamp plants, such as Iris versicolor (Blue Flag Iris) and Carex stricta (Tussock Sedge), are ideal for local wetland conditions. Not only do these plants add natural beauty, but they also attract pollinators, birds, and aquatic creatures. Moreover, their strong roots stabilize the soil and help prevent erosion. Additionally, they filter excess nutrients, which keeps waterways cleaner and healthier overall.

Furthermore, wetlands help reduce carbon emissions, making them critical for climate mitigation.
