Forest, Meadow, Home
Perched on a hill and surrounded by forest, this custom home uniquely connects to a wetland meadow below, accessible via a private trail system. With a fire pit patio and trails, this property creates opportunities to both relax and recreate.
Rocky Knob Residence
Atop a hill lies a mountain modern home amidst the forest. Informed by the topography with limited flat space, Forestoration utilized an area directly adjacent to the house to create an outdoor living room with a fire feature and built-in BBQ. Hugged by cascading steel planter boxes on all sides, this patio perfectly captures views […]
Swan Lake Cottage
Near the shore of Swan Lake, Forestoration designed and built a quaint landscape to match the aesthetic of this Scandinavian-style cottage. With added pavers and plantings, this landscape became more accessible for the homeowners and also provided privacy screenings along with seasonal color and interest.
Tucked in the Forest
This project began in 2019 with a native sod harvest of an intact forest prior to the new home excavation and construction. Our team collected trays of native plant material, set up a temporary nursery on site, and tended to them until the build was complete. This unique client wished her home to appear as […]
A Garden For Education

Middle Fork Residence
This client’s home exists near the Middle Fork of the Flathead River, surrounded by native forest. She desired a low maintenance all-native landscape that would blend seamlessly with the wild landscape beyond. Natural materials such as flagstone, gravel, and mulch were used for drip lines, pathways, and beds.
Backyard Bliss
Nestled in a Whitefish neighborhood, this client desired a space where they could both socialize and relax. With an expanded paver patio, a hot tub, and a small raised bed garden, their backyard was transformed into a special private oasis. Supported by a steel retaining wall, this garden incorporates whimsical forms and shade-loving plants.
Whitefish Lake Shoreline

Forestoration worked closely with the landowner and the Whitefish Lake Lakeshore Protection Committee to design and build a project that stabilized and revegetated the eroding shoreline, while creating lake access, recreation areas, and […]
