We design, install and maintain locally native
landscapes for homeowners and businesses. BTN is a licensed c-27 Landscape Contractor, license # 963706. Proceeds support our environmental education and habitat restoration programs. For more info on pricing or to schedule a consultation, send us an email or call 949-509-4787.
Locally native plants are beautiful. They attract
butterflies and birds. They can help you save water, eliminate the need for harmful pesticides and fertilizers, and reduce maintenance needs. A native plant landscape will save you money and help the environment.
We encourage and use only California Native plant
species, using species as locally native as possible. We
do not advocate or use hybrids or 'California
Friendly" species. More on this here:
Why non-natives are BAD!
'With over 1200 species and counting of
native plant species in Orange County and over 5000 in
California, choices are almost endless for that
'specific look' you are in search of! .

Why hybrids are bad:
"Hybridization is a major cause of extinction worldwide
because of translocations of organisms and habitat
modifications by humans. Understanding the processes of
hybridization and the different types of hybrids that
are produced is important for developing effective
conservation policies to deal with hybridization."
