Every vineyard operates differently. That’s why we start with your specific needs, your site conditions, your pest pressures, and your goals. Spadefoot creates strategic ecosystem design work collaboratively with vineyard owners to build biological systems that protect your vines, your terroir, and your guest experience.
The Spotted Lanternfly breeds on Tree of Heaven and other invasive plants. We remove these host plants and replace them with native species, including milkweed. Milkweed is toxic to Spotted Lanternfly but beneficial to Monarch butterflies, making it a powerful dual-purpose replacement that eliminates pest habitat while supporting beneficial pollinators.
We design perimeter habitats with native plant species that attract the right insects, floral habitat strips for parasitic wasps and lacewings that are predators of Spotted Lanternfly. The concept is strategic: attract the beneficial insects that do the pest control work for you, without chemicals, without drift, and without risk to your grapes or your staff.
Standard suburban vineyard landscaping degrades your terroir. We replace thirsty turf with native groundcovers that feed your soil without taking water away from the vines. These living alleyways improve soil structure over time, reducing compaction and allowing water to infiltrate instead of running off, keeping nutrients in your vineyard instead of washing them into the aquifer.
Immerse your guests with comfort. Our vineyard landscape design services include garden oases for tasting rooms and outdoor seating spaces that enhance the customer experience, while supporting the pollinators your vines need. Native plantings keep the patio cool during hotter seasons and showcase your winery’s commitment to sustainability.
These are chemical-free sensory environments, native aromatics, clean air, and living habitats, that turn a tasting visit into a wellness experience your guests remember.
The high acidity and water volume of pomace makes it difficult to compost properly and expensive to cart away. Spadefoot Ecosystem Solutions has the beneficial bacteria strains to dramatically reduce the pomace volume.
Spadefoot Ecosystem Solutions helps you create a vineyard landscape that defends itself against pests and builds its own soil fertility naturally. We have native pollinator habitat experts on staff ready to customize a natural approach to pest management for your vineyard.
