Your Spadefoot Questions, Answered

how do I know if my yard has invasives SPECIES?

If most of your yard is dominated by a few aggressive, fast-spreading plants—especially ones forming dense patches or climbing over everything—you’re likely dealing with invasives rather than a functioning plant community.

The quickest way to confirm is to take clear photos and compare them to regional invasive species lists from New York State Department of Environmental Conservation or iNaturalist, or send us a picture at Spadefoot, we’re happy to help you ID it.

Stormwater management is about keeping rain where it falls and putting it to work instead of sending it off your property as runoff. When you slow it down, let it soak into the soil, and store it in the landscape, that water becomes an asset—recharging groundwater, supporting plant communities, and reducing flooding and pollution downstream.

At the site scale, this means shaping land to hold water, rebuilding soils that can absorb it, and planting systems that actually use it. It’s simple in concept but powerful in effect: if every property holds onto even a portion of its rainfall, the cumulative impact is massive—less strain on infrastructure, cleaner water, and landscapes that function the way they’re supposed to.

Native plants support local wildlife because they’re part of the same system—local insects, birds, and other species evolved with them and rely on them for food, shelter, and reproduction. When you replace them with non-native or ornamental species, that support system collapses; when you rebuild native plant communities, wildlife comes back because the underlying function is restored.
You’ll see hydrologic changes immediately—water infiltrates instead of running off. Ecological function builds over time, with noticeable shifts in plant structure and wildlife within the first growing season.
