Directory of Landscape Services offered by RIWPS members

We are increasingly asked to recommend professional landscape services that focus on preserving and protecting our native plants and their habitats. This is a wonderful sign of the growing commitment to ecological gardening and land stewardship practices.

While we are not in a position to evaluate, recommend or endorse private businesses, as a service to those looking for professionals to help them reach their landscape goals, we have created this Directory of Landscape Professionals which lists RIWPS members who offer such services.

We urge you to find out more about these members’ qualifications and experience, especially in terms of creating sustainable, biodiverse habitats, as well as more details about their services.

It is your responsibility to determine whether the services offered are appropriate for your needs. The listing of any business or services in this Directory should not be considered as a recommendation or an endorsement by the Rhode Island Wild Plant Society.

RIWPS members who would like to be included in this Directory should contact office@RIWPS.org

The Ecological Landscape Association membership directory or online marketplace as well as the membership list of the Rhode Island Nursery and Landscape Association also offer information about the services of their members.
