Dragonfly’s skills in large scale plantings are highly respected throughout the ecological restoration industry – so highly respected that our competitors sometimes hire us to do the planting components of their jobs for them!
Our team are highly experienced at installing large numbers of plants quickly and efficiently in such a way as to ensure a very high survival rate. We can plant 4,000-8,000 plants per day, install irrigation and carry out ongoing maintenance to ensure that 90-95% of all planted stock survives the initial tricky establishment phase.
We’re also used to working in difficult terrain such as wetlands, steep slopes and heavy clay soils and can provide plants grown from provenance stock from one of our two in-house nurseries.
