Bellevue Native Plant Landscaping Services

Hey Bellevue! Are you ready to transform your yard into a stunning, eco-friendly oasis that thrives through our wet winters and dry summers? Welcome to the vibrant world of native plants! Our local flora is not only beautiful but also perfectly adapted to our unique climate, which means they require less water, fewer chemicals, and minimal fuss once established. Say goodbye to high-maintenance gardens and hello to a sustainable paradise!


What’s the Problem?

Let’s be real—many gardens face some common challenges:

  • Thirsty, high-maintenance plants that struggle in the summer sun.
  • Flooding in winter and drought in summer that stress your plants.
  • Constant weeding due to exposed soil or picky plant choices.
  • A wildlife “dead zone”—no nectar for bees, no berries for birds, and definitely no fun for you.
  • The desire for the beauty of the Pacific Northwest without the endless chore list.

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

  • Right plant, right place — We assess sunlight, wind, drainage, and mature size to curate the perfect plant palette for your garden.
  • Structure first — A solid evergreen foundation (60–70%) combined with seasonal interest (30–40%) guarantees year-round beauty.
  • Blocks, not polka-dots — Plant in clusters of 3–7 for a bold statement and reduced maintenance.
  • Soil, then mulch — We boost soil health with light compost where needed and apply a 2–3” layer of mulch to retain moisture.
  • Drip irrigation — Smart zoning based on plant needs allows us to taper water as roots establish, saving both water and energy.
  • No landscape fabric — We only use it under gravel paths, never around plant roots, ensuring healthy growth.

Palettes That Thrive in Bellevue

For Dry Sun Areas: Think kinnikinnick (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi), Oregon grape (Mahonia aquifolium), and red-flowering currant (Ribes sanguineum).

For Part Shade: Consider evergreen huckleberry (Vaccinium ovatum), salal (Gaultheria shallon), and sword fern (Polystichum munitum).

For Moist or Rain-Garden Areas: Red-twig dogwood (Cornus sericea), Pacific ninebark (Physocarpus capitatus), and slough sedge (Carex obnupta) are stellar options.

Seasonal Color and Pollinator-Friendly Options: Douglas aster (Symphyotrichum subspicatum), native yarrow (Achillea millefolium), and penstemon (PNW natives) will attract bees and butterflies.

Want a coastal vibe that withstands wind and salt? We can incorporate wax myrtle, kinnikinnick, Oregon grape, and resilient bunchgrasses for a stunning look.

Invasive Removal We Handle

Are invasives ruining your garden vibe? We tackle pesky offenders like English ivy, Himalayan blackberry, and bindweed. Our process includes thorough clearing, root-chasing, and mulching to allow your native plants to flourish.


Our Annual Maintenance Plan (Your Yard’s Routine)

Keeping your yard looking fabulous is a breeze with our comprehensive maintenance plan:

  • Weed Suppression — Scheduled hand-weeding combined with targeted pre-emergent treatments keeps those pesky weeds at bay.
  • Mulch Management — We maintain a 2–3” layer of mulch to block light and retain moisture.
  • Pruning with Care — Our timing for pruning protects blooms and berries, ensuring your garden remains a wildlife haven.
  • Irrigation Tune-Up — We manage everything from spring start-ups to fall tapering and winter shutdowns.
  • Soil Health — Compost top-dressing in spring gives your plants the nutrients they need, with fertilizer only if a soil test indicates a deficiency.

Our mission? To offer you low-maintenance landscaping that minimizes problems between visits and maximizes your enjoyment!


Service Cadences (Pick What Fits)

Choose a maintenance schedule that suits your lifestyle:

  • Quarterly — Perfect for those who want spring and fall deep cleans plus two seasonal tune-ups.
  • Bi-Monthly — A sweet spot for most Bellevue yards.

(If you’ve just installed new landscaping or are battling heavy weed pressure, we can kick things off with monthly visits for 90 days, then taper down.)


What Annual Maintenance Includes

  • Re-cutting bed edges and tidying lines for a polished look.
  • Targeted invasive control and spot-mulching where needed.
  • Seasonal pruning for structural integrity and wildlife-friendly timing.
  • Irrigation timer updates and quick emitter fixes for efficient watering.
  • Plant health checks for rot, pests, and windburn, with clear next steps.

Why Annual Maintenance Matters

  • Survival & Growth — New natives develop deeper roots faster with the right care.
  • Lower Water Bills — Deep, infrequent watering beats daily spritzing, saving you cash.
  • Habitat Wins — Create flowers, berries, and cover for pollinators and birds.
  • Cleaner Look — Crisp edges and consistent mulch mean instant curb appeal.

How It Works

  1. Free Estimate — We provide a clear, upfront pricing structure based on a photo/video or a quick walkthrough.
  2. Set Your Schedule — Choose between quarterly, bi-monthly, or monthly services that fit your needs.
  3. Service Day — We clear, prune, edge, and can also install mulch/gravel or refresh lawns as needed.
  4. Follow-Up — You’ll receive simple care tips and easy add-ons whenever you want.
