Developing or restoring areas with native plants helps keep our environment healthy and attractive. Native landscape planting in Northland plays a critical role in reducing erosion, improving water quality and storing carbon. If you intend on planting a large area, we’re the team to help you work out an effective planting and maintenance plan. We have a wide range of native plants already in stock and we also grow to order to cater to Northland property developers, landscape architects, farmers and land owners.
Good planting practices combined with careful site preparation, appropriate species selection and the use of high-quality planting stock is what makes the difference.
We’ve got the tools, skills and passion to transform your land and improve its biodiversity with natives. The team offers on-site and personal help throughout the planting process as well as a scheduled maintenance service. We can assist with site preparation, safe spraying for weed control, and ongoing care to support the health and longevity of your native plantings. Our friendly crew is experienced, efficient, and always happy to help.
Planting will promote canopy closure, creating a thriving ecosystem. (We want your natives to take over invasive species on your property and lessen the maintenance over time, saving you money) Each plant plays a vital role in the environment. For instance, Sedges help filter waste from waterways.
If not specified on your greenspace plans, we focus on pioneer species that are small and cost-effective, helping to establish canopy cover while thriving in tough conditions. Our native options include, but are not limited to Manuka, Kanuka, Cabbage Trees, Flaxes and native Sedges. Read more here.
We do most of our planting from May-September. This is because the autumn and winter months provide the most natural rainfall allowing for each plant to establish themselves before summer.
We recommend spraying before planting begins. This will make your maintenance more effective in the future and give your natives the best chance to grow.
We recommend a release spray as needed. Our selective sprays are residual for up to 6 months. We commonly do 1-3 release sprays after a project has been planted.
With our recommended spacing, we expect to establish canopy cover within 3-5 years.
At KiwiCan Natives, we pride ourselves on quality and customer satisfaction. If you are not happy with your project, we will do everything in our power to diagnose and resolve the concerns you may have.
Yes, we use selective sprays that are effective on killing grass and certain weeds but will not harm natives.
