The company prefers to use plants native to the Northern Illinois region whenever a design allows, noting that native plants are beneficial for the environment and pollinators while using less water and requiring few chemicals. For wooded areas with limited sunshine, the firm creates shade gardens using ferns, native spring ephemerals such as bluebells and trillium, hostas, and ground covers like Canadian ginger and sedges.
