Bothell Garden Bed Design Services

Are you dreaming of a garden that turns heads without stealing all your free time? Welcome to Neat & Tidy Landscaping! Our mission is to create stunning garden beds that thrive throughout the seasons while giving you back your weekends. We specialize in designs that cater to Bothell’s unique climate—navigating those soggy winters and sunny summers with ease.

What’s the Problem?

Are your garden beds feeling a little chaotic? Here’s what we often encounter in Bothell:

• Messy, disorganized beds with a hodgepodge of plants that lack harmony and structure.
• Misplaced plants—sun-loving beauties stuck in the shade and shade dwellers baking under direct sunlight.
• Weeds and thin mulch making your garden less inviting.
• Soil struggles—compacted ground that turns into a muddy swamp in winter and a dry desert in summer.
• High water bills from thirsty plants coupled with outdated irrigation systems.
• Curb appeal challenges—no clear landscaping plan to impress your neighbors or meet HOA guidelines.

Our Design Approach (No Fluff, Just What Works)

Here’s how we turn your garden into a masterpiece:

• Right plant, right place: We assess sun exposure, wind patterns, drainage, and mature sizes to choose the perfect plants for your space.
• Evergreen backbone (60–70%) mixed with seasonal color (30–40%) ensures your garden looks great all year round.
• Block planting: We group 3–5 plants together for a modern, cohesive look—goodbye, polka dot gardens!
• Defined lines and edges: We create smooth curves and clean edges using 4” cut edges or durable steel edging to keep mulch in and grass out.
• Soil first: Healthy soil is our priority! We enrich it with compost and aerate before topping it with 2–3” of mulch (and definitely no volcano-mulch here!).

Plant Palettes That Thrive Here

Here are some of our favorite plant combinations that flourish in Bothell’s diverse conditions:

• Dry Sun Areas: Think lavender, rosemary, euphorbia, santolina, sedum, feather reed grass, ceanothus ‘Victoria’, and rockrose.
• Part Shade / Acidic Beds: Consider rhododendron, azalea, pieris, camellia, sweet box, sword fern, Japanese forest grass, and heuchera.
• Coastal/Windy Spots: Escallonia, wax myrtle, sea thrift, hebes, spiraea, and olearia thrive here.
• Pollinator-Friendly: Salvia ‘Hot Lips’, penstemon, echinacea, aster, yarrow, and catmint make great choices.
• Winter Interest: Hellebore, red-twig dogwood, osmanthus, witch hazel, and heather keep your garden vibrant even in the colder months.

And if you’re keen on going native, we have vine maple, kinnikinnick, Oregon grape, red-flowering currant, sword fern, and bunchgrasses ready for you!

Our Annual Maintenance Plan (Your Yard’s Best Friend)

Let’s keep your garden looking its best with our comprehensive annual maintenance plan, which includes:

• Weed suppression: Regular hand-weeding and targeted pre-emergent treatments as needed.
• Mulch refresh: Keeping that 2–3” layer of mulch intact to block light and retain moisture.
• Structural pruning: Timely cuts to maintain shape and airflow—no more hedge-balling those beloved maples!
• Soil care: Compost top-dress and micro-aeration to keep your soil healthy and happy.

Our mission? Low-maintenance landscaping for you, meaning fewer headaches between visits and less effort on your part.

Service Cadences (Choose Your Vibe)

Select a maintenance schedule that fits your lifestyle:

• Quarterly: Dive deep in spring and fall, plus two tune-up visits.
• Bi-Monthly: A perfect balance for most Bothell yards.
• (Got a new installation or battling weeds? We can start with monthly visits and ease into a more relaxed schedule as things settle down!)

What Annual Maintenance Includes

Here’s what you can expect from our annual maintenance:

• Defined bed edges with re-cut lines for a polished, professional look.
• Targeted weed control and spot-mulching where necessary.
• Seasonal pruning to keep your plants healthy and thriving.
• Regular health checks of your plants for pests, rot, and other concerns, along with straightforward next steps.

Why Annual Maintenance Matters

• Weeds don’t get a head start—fewer seeds mean less labor later on.
• Plants thrive—better structure now leads to fewer drastic cuts down the line.
• Beds look sharp—defined edges and fresh mulch can transform your outdoor space.
