Is it necessary to do what Dune Doctors prescribes in their proposal,
all at once?
We give a proposal that includes optimum solutions for the best
protection of your home or business. It can be split into several phases.
We recommend to install liners grasses 18" on center, and 4" root ball
grasses 2" on center. They can be spread further but grow best at this
distance. We can establish a time schedule with you to obtain the best
results, in a timely manner and a comfortable budget.
Why is it so important to use native plants?
Because they are the ones most adapted to a specific environment.
They will require no maintenance, and will provide the best protection.
Most of all, they are the only ones that will survive the salt spray,
drought, and the absence of nutrients in a hostile environment.
