Redmond Fertilizing Services

Fertilizer isn’t just magic dust! If your soil’s compacted or you miss the right timing, you might as well be tossing green bills into the street. At Neat & Tidy, we focus on what your plants genuinely need—no more, no less—ensuring steady growth, deep roots, and a yard that doesn’t swing between “starving” and “overgrown.”

Let’s dig into how we can keep your Redmond landscape thriving!


What’s Going Wrong?

Is your garden looking a bit worse for wear? Here are some signs that it might be time for a little TLC:

  • Your lawn is looking tired: pale green, thin patches, and moss taking over.
  • Shrubs and trees are producing weak, leggy growth with tiny leaves.
  • Flowers bloom once and then vanish for the rest of the season.
  • You’ve tried “all-purpose” fertilizers, but they only work for a couple of weeks before fading.
  • Heavy rains wash away nutrients, and summer drought finishes the job.

Don’t worry; we’re here to help you turn things around!


Our Fertilizing Approach

Our fertilizing process is all about precision—ensuring your plants get exactly what they need:

  • Slow-release granules for lawns and shrubs—providing steady nourishment and minimizing surge growth.
  • Organic blends for flower beds and edibles—using compost with feather, alfalfa, and rock minerals for natural feeding.
  • Targeted micronutrients (iron, magnesium, manganese) for plants showing signs of chlorosis.
  • Soil conditioners (like compost) to improve soil structure before fertilization.
  • Specialized formulas for acid-loving plants (like rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias, and blueberries) when pH levels are too high.

We only apply phosphorus when a soil test indicates it’s necessary. Protecting our beautiful Puget Sound is a priority!


Seasonal Feeding Plan

Check out our seasonal feeding plan tailored specifically for the unique climate of Redmond:

Season Lawn Shrubs & Trees Beds & Perennials
Early Spring Light slow-release nitrogen + iron; moss management as needed Balanced slow-release at the dripline Compost cap + gentle organic feed
Late Spring Second light feeding before summer heat hits Spot-feed heavy bloomers Pinch of organic + mulch top-up
Mid/Late Summer Skip or very light feeding (only if irrigation is on point) Deep watering > fertilizer Watering + deadheading; minimal feeding
Early Fall Core feeding for roots (nitrogen-lean, potassium-forward) Root-focused feed to establish new growth Compost top dress; prep for winter
Winter None None (except for evergreens showing deficiency) None

Our Comprehensive Annual Maintenance Plan

With our annual maintenance plan, you can rest easy knowing your garden is in capable hands:

  • Soil-first — we aerate and loosen compacted areas; add compost where needed, ensuring your soil is rich and ready for growth.
  • Right rate, right day — we tailor the product’s nitrogen percentage to your yard’s size and the season for optimal results.
  • Water-in strategy — we ensure granular fertilizers don’t sit dry on hot days or before heavy rains.
  • pH monitoring — we pay special attention to acid-loving plants, using sulfur rather than gimmicky solutions.
  • Recordkeeping — we track what we applied, where, and when, allowing us to fine-tune our approach for each visit.

We’re a low-maintenance landscaping crew. Our mission is to create fewer problems between visits, resulting in less work for you!


Service Options

Choose the service that fits your needs:

  • Quarterly — Includes spring/fall deep clean + two tune-ups.
  • Bi-Monthly — Ideal for most Redmond yards to maintain a balanced and beautiful landscape.

(New lawns, high-use areas, or nutrient-deficient soil may require monthly visits for the first 90 days, then taper off.)


What’s Included in Our Annual Maintenance?

With our annual maintenance, you get:

  • Site walk-through + quick soil assessment (compaction, thatch, drainage).
  • Thoughtful product selection (organic/slow-release, acid-loving, or targeted micronutrients).
  • Measured application per 1,000 square feet—no guesswork involved!
  • Watering-in or adjustments to your irrigation timer.
  • Hardscape cleanup—no stains or debris left behind.

The Benefits of Annual Maintenance

Why should you choose our annual maintenance plan? Here’s what you’ll gain:

  • Consistent color and growth — no rollercoaster of surge and crash.
  • Deeper roots — enhancing drought resistance and reducing pest issues.
  • Fewer weeds & moss — a dense turf and healthy beds will naturally outcompete them.
  • Lower waste — your dollars feed your plants, not the storm drain.
