Lynnwood Vegetable and Herb Garden Installation Services

Picture this: stepping into your backyard and plucking fresh greens bursting with flavor, savoring homegrown tomatoes that ripen perfectly, and snipping fragrant herbs just steps from your kitchen. At Neat & Tidy, we specialize in crafting low-drama edible gardens tailored to thrive in Lynnwood’s unique climate—think cool nights, wet winters, and sunny late summers.

What Challenges Do You Face?

• Are your garden beds sagging after winter, turning into muddy swamps or hardpan?
• Tired of watering endlessly only to see your crops bolt by August?
• Fed up with pesky weeds and pests that drain your gardening spirit?
• Frustrated with flimsy store-bought kits that warp and come with questionable soil?
• Struggling with garden planning—too much lettuce at once, tomatoes that refuse to ripen, or sulking basil?

Our Installation Process (And Why It Works)

• Sturdy Cedar Raised Beds: Crafted from 2×6 or 2×8 cedar boards, using stainless or coated fasteners—no rotting railroad ties here!
• Premium Soil Blend: Our veggie soil mix is compost-rich, well-drained, and peat-free, topped with a fine layer of mulch to lock in moisture.
• Efficient Drip Irrigation: We set up a user-friendly, timer-controlled system with a pressure regulator and backflow preventer, ensuring your plants get just the right amount of water without the hassle.
• Supportive Trellis Systems: Perfect for climbing plants like tomatoes, peas, and cucumbers—choose from sturdy galvanized panels or classic wood frames.
• Season Extension Options: We offer low hoops and frost cloth/insect netting to protect your crops and maximize your growing season.
• Clean Paths: Our paths are crafted from compacted gravel or arbor chips, with weed fabric beneath to keep things tidy.

Lynnwood-Friendly Plant List (No Diva Varieties Here)

Cool-Season Superstars: Lettuce, arugula, spinach, kale, chard, sugar snap peas, carrots, beets, radishes, cilantro, and parsley.

Warm-Season Favorites: Cherry tomatoes (like ‘Sungold’ and ‘Sweet Million’), ‘Early Girl’ slicers, bush beans, compact cucumbers, zucchini (one plant is usually plenty), and basil (with heat or cover).

Herbs That Thrive: Thyme, oregano, chives, rosemary, sage, mint (best in a pot), and flat-leaf parsley.

Tip: We utilize staggered plantings (succession sowing) to ensure a continuous harvest without overwhelming amounts of produce at once.

Our Annual Maintenance Plan (Your Garden’s Routine)

• Succession Schedule: We provide an easy-to-follow calendar for sowing, planting, and harvesting, keeping your beds productive all season long.
• Irrigation Tune-Up: Seasonal adjustments to timers, emitter checks, and deep watering during the hot summer months.
• Pest and Slug Management: We use iron phosphate bait, beer traps, and netting/row covers to keep your garden healthy and thriving.
• Soil Health Maintenance: Regular compost top-dressing and gentle organic amendments tailored to your plants’ needs.
• Winterization: We help with cover crops or mulching, draining lines, and storing trellises/fabrics for the winter months.

We pride ourselves on being a low-maintenance landscaping team. Our mission is to minimize issues between visits and lighten your workload.

Service Options (Choose What Works for You)

• Quarterly Services: Ideal for spring and fall resets, plus two mid-season check-ins to keep everything running smoothly.
• Bi-Monthly Services: Perfect for maintaining steady harvests and managing weed pressure effectively.

(For new installations, we can kick things off on a monthly basis for the first 90 days, then adjust as needed.)

What’s Included in Our Annual Maintenance

• Bed edge re-cutting and path refreshes to keep everything looking sharp and professional.
• Targeted weeding and mulch touch-ups (we never weed against plant stems to protect your plants).
• Assistance with trellis installation/removal and plant tying as your vines grow.
• Comprehensive drip system audits: timer programming, pressure and flow checks, and emitter replacements.
• Seasonal health assessments for your plants (checking for bolting, deficiencies, or mildew) with actionable fixes.

Why Annual Maintenance Is Essential

• More Continuous Harvests: Timed plantings keep your table full and reduce gaps in production—no more dry spells!
• Efficient Watering: Our methods promote deep, infrequent watering, encouraging strong root growth while reducing your water bill.
• Fewer Pests: Healthy soils and strategic timing can eliminate the need for most pesticide sprays.
• Long-Lasting Beds: Well-maintained paths and proper mulching protect your lumber and soil, extending the life of your garden.
