Ecological Construction & Restoration

LaBella provides invasive species control and planting of native grasses, wildflowers, shrubs, and tree species to restore habitat to its natural condition or create new habitat for migratory birds, fish nurseries, wildlife, and pollinating insects. Invasive plant species are controlled though mechanical methods and the use of herbicides applied by certified applicators.

Our construction teams provide stream and shoreline restoration services to enhance habitat, protect adjacent properties, reduce erosion and sediment loss, and improve public access for recreational activities. In addition to removal of man-made structures, natural materials such as rock, logs, and native plants are used to stabilize banks and shorelines to reduce erosion from stormwater flows and wave action.

Wetlands provide crucial ecological functions, including water quality improvement, flood abatement, and wildlife habitat. LaBella provides construction services to mitigate wetland loss due to permitted development or construct new wetland banks. Our experienced team provides excavation; grading; and tree, aquatic, and wildflower planting to restore wetlands and create new habitats.

In conjunction with our Permitting & Compliance Department and Civil Engineering Division, LaBella has the ability to offer turnkey design and construction for mitigation, restoration, and climate resilience projects.
