A riparian buffer is a vegetated strip along the creek bank that filters runoff, prevents erosion, and supports wildlife. Montgomery County encourages riparian buffers, and grants may be available to offset planting costs.

Yes, we design landscapes that transition from maintained lawn areas to naturalized plantings near the creek bank. This approach provides usable yard space while protecting the waterway with appropriate buffer plantings.
