Sammamish Fertilizing Services
Welcome to the lush world of fertilizing, where your garden’s potential meets our expertise! At Neat & Tidy, we know that throwing generic fertilizer around is like throwing money out the window. Instead, we focus on what your plants genuinely need—no more, no less—ensuring steady growth, deep roots, and a yard that thrives rather than just survives.
Is Your Garden Struggling?
You might be experiencing some of these common issues:
- Your lawn looks tired—pale green with thin patches and pesky moss taking over.
- Shrubs and trees are growing weakly, with small leaves and leggy branches.
- Flowers bloom once and then vanish for the rest of the season.
- Those “all-purpose” fertilizers you’ve tried? They only work for a couple of weeks before fading.
- Heavy rains wash away nutrients, while summer drought finishes the job.
Our Tailored Fertilizing Approach
Here’s how we ensure your plants get exactly what they need:
- Slow-release granules for lawns and shrubs—providing steady nourishment and keeping growth consistent.
- Organic blends for flower beds and edibles—crafted with compost, feather meal, alfalfa, and rock minerals for natural feeding.
- Targeted micronutrients (iron, magnesium, manganese) for plants showing signs of nutrient deficiency.
- Soil conditioners (like compost) to improve soil structure before fertilization, ensuring your plants have the best foundation.
- Specialized formulas for acid-loving plants (like rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias, and blueberries) when pH levels are not optimal.
We only apply phosphorus when a soil test indicates it’s necessary. Protecting our beautiful Puget Sound is a priority for us!
Seasonal Feeding Plan
| 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
- Soil-first approach — we aerate and relieve compacted areas, adding compost where needed.
- Tailored applications — we customize the product’s nitrogen percentage based on your yard’s size and the season.
- Water-in strategy — we ensure granular fertilizers don’t sit dry on hot days or before heavy rains.
- pH monitoring — acid-loving plants receive special attention; we use sulfur, not gimmicky solutions.
- Recordkeeping — we track what we applied, where, and when, allowing us to fine-tune our approach for every 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
- Quarterly — Includes spring/fall deep clean + two tune-ups.
- Bi-Monthly — Ideal for most Sammamish yards to maintain balance.
(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?
- 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.
