Redmond Native Plant Landscaping Services

Are you ready to turn your Redmond yard into a lush oasis that thrives with minimal effort? Welcome to the world of native plants! These beauties are perfectly suited for our unique Pacific Northwest climate, which means you’ll enjoy less watering, fewer chemicals, and a whole lot less hassle once they get settled in.


What’s the Problem?

Let’s be honest—many gardens face some common challenges:

  • Thirsty plants that struggle under the summer sun and leave you lugging around the hose.
  • Flooded beds in winter and parched soil in summer that stress your plants out.
  • Constant weeding because the soil is bare or the plant choices are too finicky.
  • A wildlife “dead zone”—where’s the nectar for bees or the berries for birds?
  • You want the lush beauty of the Pacific Northwest without the endless weekend chore list.

Our Native-First Design Approach (What Actually Works Here)

  • Right plant, right place — We evaluate sunlight, wind, drainage, and mature size to curate the perfect plant palette for your garden.
  • Structure first — A solid evergreen backbone (60–70%) complemented by seasonal interest (30–40%) keeps your landscape looking vibrant all year long.
  • Blocks, not polka-dots — We plant in clusters of 3–7 for a striking effect and reduced maintenance.
  • Soil, then mulch — We enrich the soil with a light compost application and add a 2–3” layer of mulch to help retain moisture.
  • Drip irrigation — Smart zoning based on plant needs enables us to taper water as roots establish, saving both water and energy.
  • No landscape fabric — We use it only under gravel paths, never around plant roots, to promote healthy growth.

Palettes That Thrive in Redmond

For Dry Sun Areas: Think kinnikinnick (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi), Oregon grape (Mahonia aquifolium), and red-flowering currant (Ribes sanguineum).

For Part Shade: Evergreen huckleberry (Vaccinium ovatum), salal (Gaultheria shallon), and sword fern (Polystichum munitum) are fantastic options.

For Moist or Rain-Garden Areas: Red-twig dogwood (Cornus sericea), Pacific ninebark (Physocarpus capitatus), and slough sedge (Carex obnupta) are winners.

Seasonal Color and Pollinator-Friendly Options: Douglas aster (Symphyotrichum subspicatum), native yarrow (Achillea millefolium), and penstemon (PNW natives) will attract bees and butterflies.

Want to capture that coastal vibe that can withstand wind and salt? We can include wax myrtle, kinnikinnick, Oregon grape, and resilient bunchgrasses for a stunning look.

Invasive Removal We Handle

We take care of pesky invasives like English ivy, Himalayan blackberry, and bindweed. Our process involves clearing, root-chasing, and mulching to give your native plants the best chance to thrive.


Our Annual Maintenance Plan (Your Yard’s Routine)

Keeping your garden looking its best is effortless with our comprehensive maintenance plan:

  • Weed Suppression — We schedule hand-weeding along with targeted pre-emergent treatments to keep those pesky weeds at bay.
  • Mulch Management — We maintain that crucial 2–3” layer of mulch to block light and retain moisture.
  • Pruning with Care — We time our pruning to protect blooms and berries, keeping your garden a haven for wildlife.
  • Irrigation Tune-Up — From spring start-ups to fall tapering and winter shutdowns, we’ve got you covered.
  • Soil Health — Our spring compost top-dressing ensures your plants receive the nutrients they need, with fertilizers used only if a soil test indicates a deficiency.

Our mission? To give you low-maintenance landscaping that minimizes problems between visits and maximizes your enjoyment.


Service Cadences (Pick What Fits)

Choose a maintenance schedule that aligns with your lifestyle:

  • Quarterly — Spring and fall deep cleans, plus two seasonal tune-ups.
  • Bi-Monthly — A great balance for most Redmond yards.

(If you’ve recently installed new landscaping or are dealing with heavy weed pressure, we can kick things off with monthly visits for 90 days, then taper down.)


What Annual Maintenance Includes

  • Re-cutting bed edges and tidying lines for a polished appearance.
  • Targeted invasive control and spot-mulching where necessary.
  • Seasonal pruning for structural integrity and wildlife-friendly timing.
  • Irrigation timer updates and quick emitter fixes to ensure efficient watering.
  • Plant health checks for rot, pests, and windburn, along with clear next steps.

Why Annual Maintenance Matters

  • Survival & Growth — New natives develop deeper roots faster with the right care.
  • Lower Water Bills — Deep, infrequent watering beats daily spritzing, saving you money.
  • Habitat Wins — Create flowers, berries, and cover for pollinators and birds.
  • Cleaner Look — Crisp edges and consistent mulch mean instant curb appeal.

How It Works

  1. Free Estimate — We provide a straightforward pricing structure based on a photo/video or a quick walkthrough.
  2. Set Your Schedule — Choose between quarterly, bi-monthly, or monthly services that suit your needs.
  3. Service Day — We clear, prune, edge, and can also install mulch/gravel or refresh lawns as needed.
  4. Follow-Up — You’ll receive straightforward care tips and easy add-ons whenever you want them.
