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- Sky-high water bills from thirsty plants and outdated irrigation systems.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!).

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
