Normandy Park Garden Bed Design Services
Are you dreaming of garden beds that are not just eye-catching but also low-maintenance? You’ve come to the right spot! Our mission is to craft stunning designs that bring beauty to your outdoor space all year round, while leaving your weekends free for what you love. We take into account the unique climate of Normandy Park (think rainy winters and sunny summers) to ensure your landscape is both beautiful and practical.
What’s the Dilemma?
Are your garden beds driving you up the wall? Here’s what we often come across:
- Chaotic plant arrangements that lack harmony and flow
- Plants in the wrong spots—sun-lovers stuck in the shade and shade plants baking in the sun
- Weeds and messy bark detracting from your garden’s charm
- Soil problems—compacted ground that’s a muddy mess in winter and a hard pan in summer
- Skyrocketing water bills due to thirsty plants and outdated irrigation
- Curb appeal issues with no cohesive plan to meet HOA guidelines
Our Design Approach (Simple Yet Effective)
Here’s how we turn your garden vision into reality:
- Right plant, right place: We carefully consider sun exposure, wind direction, drainage, and mature size to select the ideal plants.
- Evergreen backbone (60–70%) combined with seasonal pops of color (30–40%) for year-round interest.
- Block planting: Grouping 3–5+ plants for a sleek, modern look—no more polka dots!
- Defined lines and edges: Smooth curves and clean edges with 4” cut lines or steel edging to keep mulch in and grass out.
- Soil health first: We prioritize healthy soil with compost and aeration, topped with 2–3” of mulch (and definitely no volcano mulching!).
Plant Palettes That Flourish Here
Here are some of our favorite plant combinations that thrive in Normandy Park:
- Dry Sun (hellstrips & hot corners): 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: escallonia, wax myrtle, sea thrift, hebes, spiraea, olearia.
- Pollinator-friendly: salvia ‘Hot Lips’, penstemon, echinacea, aster, yarrow, catmint.
- Winter interest: hellebore, red-twig dogwood, osmanthus, witch hazel, heather.
Want to embrace native plants? We can help you incorporate vine maple, kinnikinnick, Oregon grape, red-flowering currant, sword fern, and bunchgrasses into your design.
Our Annual Maintenance Plan (Your Yard’s Best Friend)
We believe maintaining your yard’s health and vibrancy is key with our annual maintenance plan, which includes:
- Weed control: Scheduled hand-weeding and targeted pre-emergents to keep those pesky weeds at bay.
- Mulch refresh: Keeping 2–3” of mulch to block light and retain moisture.
- Structural pruning: Timely cuts for shape and airflow—no more hedge-balling those beloved maples!
- Soil care: Compost top-dress and micro-aeration to keep your soil in top shape.
Our mission is straightforward: low-maintenance landscaping for you, which means fewer headaches between visits and less work on your part.
Service Options (Choose What Works for You)
Select a maintenance schedule that fits your lifestyle:
- Quarterly: Deep cleans in spring and fall, plus two tune-ups.
- Bi-Monthly: A great balance for most Normandy Park yards.
- (Got a brand-new installation or battling heavy weed pressure? We can kick things off with monthly visits and taper down as needed!)
What’s Included in Annual Maintenance
Here’s what you can expect from our annual maintenance:
- Defined bed edges with re-cut lines for a polished, manicured look.
- Targeted weed control and strategic spot-mulching where needed.
- Seasonal pruning to maintain plant health and aesthetics.
- Regular plant health checks for pests, rot, and other issues, along with straightforward next steps.
Why Annual Maintenance Matters
