HabiScapes' spectacular ponds and waterfalls are recirculating and filtering constantly, so do not serve as breeding areas for mosquitoes that prefer standing water. Whether a single pond or multiple ponds with connecting cascades of waterfalls and creeks, HabiScapes' water features replicate natural flowing mountain creeks and pools.

Their unique focus is to create spectacular beauty, while providing critical habitat components to encourage hummingbirds, song birds, and butterflies. They insist that well-designed perennial beds are lower maintenance than your typical "sea of lawn" and are a lot more enjoyable. They nurture a flowering season that lasts from March into November. Their designs have been featured in newspapers and on television. As a featured garden on the Missoula Garden Tour, people were surprised to find that the garden they considered their favorite, was also a certified and registered Backyard Wildlife Habitat with the National Wildlife Federation.

The increased diversity of songbirds, hummingbirds, and butterflies will make your yard an oasis for both your family and the wildlife.
