Bellevue Garden Bed Design Services
Looking to transform your garden beds into an eye-catching oasis that saves you precious time? You’ve come to the right spot! At Neat & Tidy, our mission is to design stunning, low-maintenance landscapes that thrive throughout the year, perfectly suited for Bellevue’s unique climate—think lush, rainy winters and sun-kissed summers. Let’s make your outdoor space not just beautiful but also functional and easy to care for!
What’s the Problem?
Are your garden beds feeling more like a chore than a joy? Here’s what we often encounter in Bellevue:
- Disorganized beds that lack flow and harmony, creating a chaotic look.
- Misplaced plants—sun-loving beauties stuck in the shade, while shade plants are wilting under the sun.
- Weed-ridden areas that detract from your garden’s beauty.
- Soil troubles—compacted ground that turns into a muddy mess in winter and a dry desert in summer.
- High water bills due to thirsty plants and outdated irrigation systems.
- Curb appeal issues that leave your home looking less than its best, with no clear design plan.
Our Design Approach (No Fluff, Just What Works)
Here’s how we create a gorgeous garden that’s easy to maintain:
- Right Plant, Right Place: We analyze your yard’s sun exposure, wind patterns, and drainage to select the best plants for your space.
- Evergreen Backbone: Our design features 60–70% evergreen plants for year-round structure, complemented by 30–40% seasonal bloomers for pops of color.
- Block Planting: We plant in groups of 3–5+ for a modern, cohesive look—no more random dots in your landscape!
- Defined Lines and Edges: Smooth curves and clean edges using 4” cut lines or steel edging to keep mulch in place and grass out.
- Soil First: Healthy soil is our priority! We add compost and aerate, finishing with 2–3” of mulch (and never that dreaded volcano mulch!).
Plant Palettes That Thrive Here
Check out some of our favorite plant combinations that flourish in Bellevue’s unique environment:
- Dry Sun Areas: Think lavender, rosemary, euphorbia, santolina, sedum, feather reed grass, ceanothus ‘Victoria’, and rockrose.
- Part Shade / Acidic Beds: Choose from rhododendron, azalea, pieris, camellia, sword fern, Japanese forest grass, and heuchera.
- Coastal/Windy Spots: Escallonia, wax myrtle, sea thrift, hebes, spiraea, and olearia thrive in these conditions.
- Pollinator-Friendly Gardens: Include salvia ‘Hot Lips’, penstemon, echinacea, aster, yarrow, and catmint to attract beneficial insects.
- Winter Interest: Brighten up the dreary months with hellebore, red-twig dogwood, osmanthus, witch hazel, and heather.
Interested in native options? We can incorporate vine maple, kinnikinnick, Oregon grape, red-flowering currant, sword fern, and lovely bunchgrasses!
Our Annual Maintenance Plan (Your Yard’s Routine)
We believe in keeping your garden vibrant and healthy with our annual maintenance plan, which includes:
- Weed Suppression: Regular hand-weeding and targeted pre-emergents to keep those pesky invaders at bay.
- Mulch Refresh: Maintaining that perfect 2–3” layer of mulch to block light and retain moisture.
- Structural Pruning: Timely trims for shape and airflow—no more awkward hedge-balling for your cherished maples!
- Soil Care: We apply compost top-dress and micro-aeration to promote healthy soil.
Our mission is simple: low-maintenance landscaping for you, meaning fewer problems between visits and less work on your end.
Service Cadences (Pick What Fits)
Choose a maintenance schedule that fits your lifestyle:
- Quarterly: Includes spring and fall deep cleans, plus two tune-up visits during the season.
- Bi-Monthly: Ideal for most Bellevue yards, balancing care and convenience.
- (Just installed a new garden or dealing with heavy weeds? We can start with monthly visits and taper down as your garden flourishes!)
What Annual Maintenance Includes
Here’s what you can expect from our annual maintenance:
- Defined bed edges with freshly re-cut lines for a polished look.
- Targeted weed control and spot-mulching where it’s needed most.
- Seasonal pruning to keep plants healthy and thriving.
- Regular plant health checks for pests, rot, and other concerns, along with clear next steps for care.
Why Annual Maintenance Matters
- Weeds Don’t Get a Head Start: Fewer seeds mean less labor later down the line.

- Sharp, Defined Beds: Freshly edged beds and new mulch can transform your garden’s appearance.
