Metro Blooms Design+ Build has expertise in sustainable landscapes and habitat restoration with an emphasis on stormwater management, native vegetation and invasive vegetation management. Our landcare and maintenance services are ideal for properties with larger raingardens such as governmental, commercial, institutional and multi-family properties — for example, cities, schools, rental complexes, businesses and churches.

Vegetation Management

Hand pulling weeds

We provide comprehensive vegetation management of native plantings. Our staff is highly trained in native and invasive species identification. We emphasize sustainable landscape management practices and prioritize seasonal non-chemical methods.

• Our management strategies include hand-pulling, digging, torching, smothering, solarizing, mowing, and spraying weeds with organic herbicides. Our crews use only battery-operated landscape equipment.
• Our services includes spring clean-up, pruning, deadheading and weed removal and management, among other things.

Inspections and Reporting

Inspecting an underground storm drain

We maintain, inspect and report on raingardens, bioswales, permeable pavers, underground infiltration chambers, pre-treatment structures and other best management practices. We work closely with municipalities, watershed districts, commercial properties and others.

• We ensure optimal function of stormwater practices.
• We create and implement operations and maintenance plans.
• We report on stormwater practices (including Chapter 54 compliance reporting).
• We assist in stormwater credit applications.
