How Expert Arborists Support Pollinators and Landscape Architects

Resources: Environmental Services

Pollinator garden

In recent years, its become common knowledge that pollinators are vital to our ecosystem. Bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other animals play a crucial role in the pollination and reproduction of our plants and food sources. As a result, many landscape architects have started to incorporate pollinator gardens into their designs, both for commercial properties and residential homes. It’s not easy to know the best course of action to build an efficient pollinator garden, but that’s where a certified arborist comes in! In this post, we’ll discuss how certified arborists can support you in creating healthy pollinator gardens!

The Role of Arborists in Landscape Design

When it comes to creating pollinator gardens, selecting the right trees and shrubs is crucial. Arborists specialize in the care and maintenance of trees and can help landscape architects choose appropriate native, flowering species that are good for pollinators. This is important because certain plants may not thrive in a specific environment or area. This can affect the health of the garden and, in turn, the pollinators. By working with an arborist, landscape architects can ensure that their garden is properly designed to meet the needs of pollinators.

How Arborists Can Support Pollinators and Landscape Design

Another way arborists can help support pollinator gardens is through Integrated Pest Management (IPM) protocols. IPM is a proactive approach to pest control that focuses on the prevention of pests rather than reactive measures. Arborists can help implement these protocols by regularly monitoring the health of trees and shrubs in the pollinator garden. This can prevent the need for harmful pesticides and ensure that the garden stays healthy and thriving for pollinators.

When Should Landscape Architects Bring in an Expert Arborist?

It’s essential to bring in an expert arborist before trees and shrubs are planted. Arborists can assist in tree and site selection, ensuring that the right trees are planted in the right location. This can prevent problems such as tree roots interfering with sidewalks or other structures, or trees not getting the proper sunlight or nutrients they need to thrive. By bringing in an arborist early in the design process, you can save time and money in the long run. This will also ensure a healthy and sustainable pollinator garden.

Commercial Properties

Pollinator gardens can be a great addition to commercial properties such as hotels, hospitals, apartments, schools, and retail centers. However, it’s important to choose the right species and location for functionality. For example, guests won’t want to battle bees on their way into a building, but species that attract butterflies might be a pleasant addition. Arborists can work with landscape architects to meet the needs of the property and its occupants.

Residential Properties

Pollinator gardens are a great way for homeowners to support their local ecosystem. By planting native flowering plants in their yards, they can support pollinators and help maintain a healthy, thriving ecosystem. Arborists can help homeowners choose the best plants for their yards and provide guidance on proper planting and ongoing maintenance. By working with an arborist, homeowners can create a beautiful and functional pollinator garden that supports the environment.
