Planning and Educational Resource Library:

Interested in the concept of landscaping with native plants but wondering just where to begin? A visit to our Resource Library may be the answer. Packed with pages of useful information, this library can help you get acquainted with all things native. And remember, an on-site consultation with one of our restoration ecologists is only a phone call away!

Installation Services:

Contracted installations have always been the heart and soul of PRI’s business. Our reputation as a “do it” company is well deserved, as we have planted more acres, on more sites, using a greater diversity of plant materials that any other restoration company in the Midwest. And because quality is our primary goal, we are proud to stand behind every one of our projects!

"Working with Prairie Restorations, Inc. has been a wonderful experience. In fact, because our first project went so well, we had them come back and plant two more projects for us!"
