These photos show the steps we took to protect and restore the native plants on a site for our landscape architecture client. This involved removing, storing then replanting sod and plants from the site. Prior to this it was also important to minimize disturbance of the overall site during excavation and to save native topsoil where possible. –Leslie Lowe L.A, Registered Landscape Architect
