Bellevue Native Plant Garden Services

Hey there, Bellevue neighbors! 🌿 Are you ready to ditch the high-maintenance plants that just can’t seem to handle our unique weather? Let’s create the lush, low-water garden of your dreams with native plants that thrive in Bellevue’s beautiful yet challenging climate. With our expert help, you’ll enjoy a vibrant landscape that practically takes care of itself!

What’s the Challenge?

• Tired of thirsty plants that wilt in the summer heat?
• Dealing with flooded beds in winter and parched soil in summer?
• Frustrated by the constant weeding because of bare patches?
• Missing the wildlife—no birds or bees in sight?
• Craving that easygoing Pacific Northwest vibe instead of a full weekend chore list?

Our Native-First Design Approach (What Works Best Here)

• Right plant, right place — We evaluate sunlight, wind, drainage, and the mature size of plants to choose the best options for you.
• Structure first — We create designs featuring a sturdy evergreen backbone (60–70%) paired with seasonal interest (30–40%).
• Blocks, not polka dots — We cluster plants in groups of 3–7 for a striking visual impact and reduced upkeep.
• Soil, then mulch — We enrich your soil with light compost and apply a 2–3” mulch layer, keeping it away from the stems to promote healthy growth.
• Drip irrigation — Our systems are customized to meet plant needs, gradually reducing water as roots get established.
• No landscape fabric in planting beds — We reserve it for gravel paths to avoid choking off roots.

Invasive Removal We Handle

Say goodbye to pesky invasives! We tackle the likes of English ivy, Himalayan blackberry, morning glory/bindweed, holly seedlings, and laurel suckers. Our process involves thorough clearing, root-chasing, and effective mulching to give your native plants the upper hand.

Our Annual Maintenance Plan (Your Yard’s Routine)

Once your garden is set, we offer an annual maintenance plan that ensures your yard looks stunning year-round. Here’s what we provide:

• Weed suppression — Scheduled hand-weeding plus targeted pre-emergents for those pesky invaders.
• Mulch management — We maintain a 2–3” layer to block light and retain moisture, ensuring your plants are happy.
• Gentle pruning — We carefully time pruning around bloom and berry production to keep wildlife habitats thriving.
• Irrigation tune-ups — We handle spring start-ups, summer deep-water checks, fall tapering, and winter shut-downs, so you don’t have to worry!
• Soil health — We apply a compost top-dress in spring and only use fertilizers if a soil test indicates a need.

Our mission? To be your low-maintenance landscaping partner, making life easier for you while reducing problems between visits.

Service Cadences (Choose What Fits)

• Quarterly — Enjoy spring and fall deep cleans with two tune-ups in between.
• Bi-Monthly — The sweet spot for most Bellevue gardens, balancing care and cost.

(Got new installations or heavy weed pressures? No problem! We can kick things off with monthly service for the first 90 days, then transition to your preferred schedule.)

What Annual Maintenance Includes

Here’s what you can expect with our annual maintenance service:

• Re-cutting bed edges and tidying up lines for a crisp look
• Targeted invasive control and spot mulching in thin areas
• Seasonal pruning (structural in winter; post-bloom shaping; timing to protect berries)
• Irrigation timer updates and quick emitter fixes
• Plant health checks (rot, pests, windburn) with clear next steps for your peace of mind

Why Annual Maintenance Matters

• Survival & growth — Natives establish deeper roots and thrive with the right care.
• Lower water bills — Deep, infrequent watering is far more efficient than daily spritzing.
• Habitat wins — Your garden becomes a haven for pollinators and birds, enhancing biodiversity.
• Cleaner look — Crisp edges and consistent mulch deliver instant curb appeal that neighbors will envy.
