The Land Appeal of the Appalachian Temperate Rainforest

The greater Asheville area is surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains, and boasts a mild climate with highly variable temperature and precipitation patterns linked to elevation. For anyone that has been to Hawaii, the greater Asheville area is one of the closest feels to that of the island's Tropical Rainforest biome - with a refreshing humidity stood up against a more cool climate for year-round bliss.

Plentiful Growth

There are no shortage of trees in Western North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains. With elevations up to 6,600 at Mount Mitchell, the mountainous terrain makes for a wonderful palette of trees and soil from which some incredible forestry growth flourishes. This makes the challenges around land preparation for landscaping significant, as there are many additional considerations when planning and executing land improvement strategies.

Sloped Landscapes

Many land parcels have flat, gradual and steep slope contours, all of which need to be factored into the overall plans. Regardless of the slope, there is sure to be a lot of fruitful vegetation, invasive underbrush (with weeds that take on a barbed wire characteristic), and vine-laden trees that will need to be dealt with in order to find a truly impactful outcome when embarking on land improvement projects.

The Path to Excellence

Natural strategies to accentuate the land are much more intensive than mad-made ones, but the outcomes are so much more rewarding. In a country that is increasingly contaminating land via chemicals meant to "make things easier," the land deserves to be kept in its original form, free of particulates and ready for lush gardens and landscaping tapestries that bring joy to families, neighbors, communities and God.
