Redmond Garden Bed Design Services

Are you dreaming of garden beds that not only dazzle but also give you back your weekends? You’ve come to the right place! Our mission is to create stunning designs that thrive year-round while keeping your maintenance to a minimum. We understand Redmond’s unique climate—those soggy winters and sunny summers—and we’re here to ensure your landscape remains both beautiful and functional.


What’s the Problem?

Feeling overwhelmed by your garden beds? You’re not alone! Here’s what we often see in Redmond:

  • Disorganized beds that look like a plant free-for-all, lacking flow and structure.
  • Wrong plant placement—sun lovers stuck in the shade or shade plants wilting in the sun.
  • Weeds and pests wreaking havoc, making your garden look less than tidy.
  • Soil issues—compacted ground that turns into a muddy mess in winter and a baking desert in summer.
  • High water bills due to thirsty plants and outdated irrigation.
  • Curb appeal challenges with no clear plan for HOA guidelines.

Our Design Approach (No Fluff, Just What Works)

Here’s how we work our magic on your garden:

  • Right plant, right place: We evaluate sun, wind, drainage, and mature size to select the perfect plants for your space.
  • Evergreen backbone (60–70%) combined with seasonal color (30–40%) to ensure your garden looks alive all year.
  • Block planting: We group plants in clusters of 3–5+ for a sleek, modern look—no more polka dots!
  • Defined lines and edges: We create smooth curves and clean edges using 4” cut lines or steel edging to keep mulch in and grass out.
  • Soil first: Our focus on healthy soil includes compost, aeration, and a 2–3” mulch layer (and definitely no volcano-mulch!).

Plant Palettes That Thrive in Redmond

Here are some of our favorite plant combinations that flourish in our beloved Redmond:

  • 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 celebrate our local flora? We’ve got you covered with native options like vine maple, kinnikinnick, Oregon grape, red-flowering currant, sword fern, and bunchgrasses.


Our Annual Maintenance Plan (Your Yard’s Routine)

We believe in keeping your yard healthy and vibrant with our annual maintenance plan, which includes:

  • Weed suppression: Regular hand-weeding and targeted pre-emergents as needed to keep those pesky plants at bay.
  • Mulch refresh: Maintaining 2–3” of mulch that blocks light and retains moisture for your plants.
  • Structural pruning: Timely cuts for shape and airflow—no more hedging your beloved maples!
  • Soil care: Compost top-dress and micro-aeration to keep your soil thriving.

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


Service Cadences (Pick What Fits)

Choose a maintenance schedule that fits your lifestyle:

  • Quarterly: Spring and fall deep cleans, plus two tune-ups.
  • Bi-Monthly: The perfect balance for most Redmond yards.
  • (Starting a new installation or facing 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 a polished look.
  • Targeted weed control and spot-mulching where it’s needed.
  • Seasonal pruning to maintain plant health and vigor.
  • 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.
  • Beds look sharp—defined edges and fresh mulch can make a world of difference visually.
