ABOUT US
At Swamp Fly, we are dedicated to crafting South Louisiana landscapes that serve as functioning natural habitats.
We take design inspiration from the native plant communities of our unique Coastal Plain region and apply them to residential, commercial, and public landscapes.
Our nature-inspired landscapes are easy to maintain, beautiful, and provide habitat to microorganisms, insects, and birds.
