Lynnwood Garden Bed Design Services

Hey there, Lynnwood residents! 🌼 Are you dreaming of a garden bed that not only dazzles your neighbors but also gives you more time to relax? Look no further! At Neat & Tidy, we specialize in creating garden designs that thrive in our unique climate—think soggy winters and sunny summers—while keeping maintenance to a minimum.


What’s the Problem?

Is your garden bed feeling more like a chore than a joy? Here’s what we often come across:

  • Chaotic layouts with random plants that just don’t flow together.
  • Misplaced plants—sun-loving flowers stuck in the shade and shade-loving foliage scorched in the sun.
  • Weeds running rampant, making your garden look neglected.
  • Soil struggles—compacted ground that turns into a muddy mess or a rock-hard desert.
  • Sky-high water bills from thirsty plants and outdated irrigation systems.
  • Curb appeal woes with no clear planting strategy to impress your neighbors or HOA.

Our Design Approach (No Fluff, Just What Works)

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

  • Right plant, right place: We assess sunlight, wind, drainage, and growth patterns to select the perfect plants for your space.
  • Evergreen backbone: About 60–70% evergreen plants paired with 30–40% seasonal blooms for year-round visual interest.
  • Block planting: We group plants in clusters of 3–5+ for a modern, cohesive look—no more polka-dot gardens!
  • Defined lines and edges: We create smooth curves and crisp edges using 4” cut lines or durable steel edging to keep mulch in place and grass out.
  • Soil first: Healthy soil is our priority! We enrich it with compost and aerate it, topping it off with a 2–3” layer of mulch (never those dreaded volcanoes!).

Plant Palettes That Thrive Here

Here are some of our top plant picks that flourish in Lynnwood:

  • Dry Sun Areas: lavender, rosemary, euphorbia, santolina, sedum, feather reed grass, ceanothus ‘Victoria’, rockrose.
  • Part Shade / Acidic Beds: rhododendron/azalea, pieris, camellia, sarcococca (sweet box), sword fern, Japanese forest grass, heuchera.
  • Coastal/Windy Spots: escallonia, wax myrtle, sea thrift, hebes, spiraea, olearia.
  • Pollinator-Friendly Choices: salvia ‘Hot Lips’, penstemon, echinacea, aster, yarrow, catmint.
  • Winter Interest: hellebore, red-twig dogwood, osmanthus, witch hazel, heather.

Want to go native? We’ve got you covered with vine maple, kinnikinnick, Oregon grape, red-flowering currant, sword fern, and bunchgrasses.


Our Annual Maintenance Plan (Your Yard’s Routine)

To keep your yard healthy and vibrant, we offer a comprehensive annual maintenance plan that includes:

  • Weed suppression: We schedule hand-weeding and apply targeted pre-emergents as needed.
  • Mulch refresh: We maintain that beautiful 2–3” layer of mulch to block light and retain moisture.
  • Structural pruning: We make timely cuts for shape and airflow—no more hedge-balling those beloved maples!
  • Soil care: We provide compost top-dress and micro-aeration to keep your soil in top-notch condition.

Our mission is simple: low-maintenance landscaping for you, which means fewer headaches between visits and less work on your end.


Service Cadences (Pick What Fits)

Choose a maintenance schedule that suits your lifestyle:

  • Quarterly: Get deep cleans in spring and fall, plus two tune-ups throughout the year.
  • Bi-Monthly: Ideal for most Lynnwood yards.
  • (Just got a new installation or battling heavy weeds? We can kick things off with monthly visits and taper down as needed!)

What Annual Maintenance Includes

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

  • Defined bed edges with freshly cut lines for that polished look.
  • Targeted weed control and spot-mulching where it’s needed most.
  • Seasonal pruning to keep your plants healthy and happy.
  • Regular plant health checks 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 in the future.
  • Your beds look sharp—defined edges and fresh mulch can make a world of difference visually.
