Hedgerow Farms will provide over-the-phone project consultations at no charge. With information you provide, we can create a seed mix for your project.

When calling us for a phone consultation, please have prepared the following information:

• Project type (many possibilities: foothill or valley grassland restoration, hedgerows or roadsides, canal or drainage ditch edges, etc.)
• Project goals
• Location of site
• Size of site (acres or square feet)
• Climate (rainfall, fog, windy, temperature, etc.)
• Site characteristics (slope, aspect, surrounding landscape attributes, trees present, near urban areas, etc.)
• Soil conditions (flooded, dry, sandy, clayey, hardpan, rocky, etc.)
• Irrigation - is the site irrigated? For how long?
• Current species on site
    - Any natives? Which ones?
    - Weeds? Grasses or broadleaves? Species?
  
• Method of planting (broadcast, drill)
• Specific needs (erosion control, grazing, turf, etc.)
• Project limitations
• Any past management (Was the site previously seeded with natives, burned, any past weed control, etc.)
• Types of weed control available to use (Herbicides, fire, mowing, tilling, grazing, etc.)
• If it is landscaping, what look is desired (lawn replacement, native meadow)
• Any specific requests (Species, grass-only, add wildflowers, pollinators, etc.)

If you need a Hedgerow Farms employee make an on-site consultation, we are happy to do so. This service does require an hourly fee, including drive time to and from the site. Please contact us for more information.
