Plantings
Planting Services in South Kingstown & Coastal Rhode Island
Native, Sustainable & Site-Specific Plantings for Residential and Commercial Properties
At Native New England Landscapes, our planting services transform your landscape into a functional, beautiful, and ecologically meaningful outdoor environment. We design and install planting plans that blend seamlessly with your home or business, using species that thrive in Rhode Island’s coastal climate and support the region’s natural habitat.
Our team specializes in native plantings, sustainable design, ecological restoration, and custom planting layouts that enhance your property’s natural attributes.

Why Native and Ecological Plantings Matter
Healthy Ecosystems, Stronger Landscapes, Lasting Results
Native plants are adapted to Rhode Island’s soils, weather patterns, coastal exposure, and natural wildlife. They require less maintenance, support pollinators, improve soil health, and create outdoor spaces that feel authentic to New England.
Whether you’re restoring a coastal property in Narragansett, adding privacy plantings in Jamestown, creating a meadow in Westerly, or developing a naturalistic design in Charlestown, our native-forward approach produces landscapes that thrive for generations.
