Redmond Vegetable and Herb Garden Installation Services
Imagine stepping into your backyard and plucking fresh greens bursting with flavor, enjoying juicy homegrown tomatoes, and snipping fragrant herbs just steps from your kitchen. At Neat & Tidy, we specialize in crafting low-drama edible gardens designed to thrive in Redmond’s unique climate—characterized by cool nights, wet winters, and warm late summers.
What Challenges Are You Facing?
- Do your garden beds sag after winter, turning into mud puddles or hardpan?
- Are you tired of endless watering only to watch your crops bolt by August?
- Are pests and weeds stealing your gardening joy?
- Frustrated with flimsy store 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: How We Make It Work
Sturdy Cedar Raised Beds: We use high-quality 2×6 or 2×8 cedar boards, paired with stainless or coated fasteners—no rotting railroad ties in sight!
Premium Soil Blend: Our veggie soil mix is rich in compost, well-drained, and completely peat-free, topped with a fine layer of mulch to retain moisture and nutrients.
Efficient Drip Irrigation: We set up a simple timer-controlled system with a pressure regulator and backflow preventer, ensuring your plants receive just the right amount of water.
Supportive Trellis Systems: Perfect for climbing plants like tomatoes, peas, and cucumbers—choose from sturdy galvanized panels or classic wooden frames.
Season Extension Options: We offer low hoops and frost cloth/insect netting to protect your crops and extend the growing season, ensuring you get the most from your garden.
Clean Paths: Our paths are constructed with compacted gravel or arbor chips, complete with weed fabric underneath to keep everything tidy.
Redmond-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 grown in a pot), and flat-leaf parsley.
Tip: We utilize staggered plantings (succession sowing) to ensure you enjoy 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, ensuring your garden is productive all season long.
Irrigation Tune-Up: Seasonal adjustments to timers, thorough emitter checks, and deep watering during hot summer months.
Pest and Slug Management: Using eco-friendly methods like iron phosphate bait, beer traps, and netting, we keep your garden healthy.
Soil Health Maintenance: Regular compost top-dressing and gentle organic amendments tailored to your plants’ needs.
Winterization: We assist with cover crops, mulching, draining lines, and storing trellises/fabrics for winter.
We pride ourselves on being a low-maintenance landscaping team. Our mission is to minimize issues between visits and reduce your workload, leaving you more time to enjoy your garden.
Service Options: Choose What Works for You
Quarterly Services: Perfect for spring and fall resets, along with two mid-season check-ins.
Bi-Monthly Services: Ideal for maintaining steady harvests and managing weed pressure.
(For new installations, we can kick things off on a monthly basis for the first 90 days, then adjust as needed based on your garden’s needs.)
What’s Included in Our Annual Maintenance
- Bed edge re-cutting and path refreshes to keep everything looking sharp.
- Targeted weeding and mulch touch-ups (we never weed against plant stems).
- 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, so you enjoy fresh produce all season long.
Efficient Watering: Our methods promote deep, infrequent watering, encouraging robust root growth and reducing your water bill.
Fewer Pests: Healthy soils and strategic timing can eliminate the need for most pest sprays, keeping your garden thriving.
Long-Lasting Beds: Well-maintained paths and proper mulching protect your lumber and soil from wear and tear.
