Watch beauty emerge from an eyesore, through knowledgeable hand weeding, converting weed plant material to free compost, forming fertile seed beds and low-impact paths for the natural generation and protection of diverse healthy native plant communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Our specialist expertise is in weeding, allowing the wanted plants to reach their potential,  eradicating the unwanted weed species from the site, and creating dense self-maintaining plant communities that resist future weed invasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">Throughout the North Shore, wherever there are gardens or reserves, we transform unattractive weed-infested areas, large or small,  by allowing them to mirror the beauty and harmony of the wild native plant communities nearby. Once the integrity of a native plant community is restored, it will naturally become more diverse over the years, hosting more and more of the thousands of species of locally native flora and fauna. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/northshorewilds.co.nz\/?page_id=3702\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"3702\">See our range of Services, or<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/northshorewilds.co.nz\/?page_id=682\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/northshorewilds.co.nz\/wp-content\/northshorewilds.co.nz\/2023\/07\/kereru19Dec18_1483-2000x1200-Contact-us-1-5000x3686.jpg\" alt=\"Contact details button\" class=\"wp-image-2776\" width=\"391\" height=\"286\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From small suburban gardens to large forest and streamside areas, we use a chemical-free methodology of restorative weed management, based on careful identification of plants, ecological assessment of landform, fauna, soil, and water flow, and 35 years of observation and experience.
