Sammamish Garden Bed Design Services
Looking to create a garden that’s not just beautiful but also easy to care for? You’re in the right place! Our mission is to design stunning garden beds that thrive throughout the year, freeing up your weekends for more enjoyable activities. We take into account Sammamish’s unique climate—those rainy winters and sunny summers—to ensure your landscape is both attractive and practical.
What’s the Problem?
Feeling overwhelmed by your garden beds? Here’s what we often encounter:
- Disorganized beds that lack cohesiveness and structure
- Misplaced plants—sun worshippers in the shade and shade lovers in the scorching sun
- Weed issues that can make your garden look unkempt
- Soil challenges—compacted ground creating mud in winter and hardpan in summer
- High water bills from thirsty plants and outdated irrigation systems
- Lack of curb appeal with no cohesive plan to meet HOA guidelines
Our Design Approach (No Fluff, Just What Works)
Here’s how we transform your garden into a masterpiece:
- Right plant, right place: We consider light, wind, drainage, and mature size to select the ideal plants.
- Evergreen backbone (60–70%) combined with seasonal color (30–40%) for year-round interest.
- Block planting: Groups of 3–5+ plants to create a sleek, modern look—goodbye polka dots!
- Defined lines and edges: Smooth curves and clean edges using 4” cut edges or steel edging to keep mulch in and grass out.
- Soil first: We emphasize healthy soil with compost and aeration, topped with 2–3” of mulch (and no volcano-mulch!).

Our Annual Maintenance Plan (Your Yard’s Routine)
We believe in keeping your yard healthy and vibrant through our annual maintenance plan, which includes:
- Weed suppression: Scheduled hand-weeding and targeted pre-emergents as necessary.
- Mulch refresh: Maintaining 2–3” of mulch to block light and retain moisture.
- Structural pruning: Timely cuts for shape and airflow—no more hedge-balling your beloved maples!
- Soil care: Compost top-dress and micro-aeration to keep your soil in top shape.
Our mission is straightforward: low-maintenance landscaping for you, resulting in fewer problems between visits and less work on your end.
Service Cadences (Pick What Fits)
Choose a maintenance schedule that suits your lifestyle:
- Quarterly: Spring and fall deep cleans, plus two tune-ups.
- Bi-Monthly: A balanced option for most Sammamish yards.
- (Just installed new beds or battling weeds? We can kick 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 necessary.
- Seasonal pruning to ensure plant health.
- 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 down the road.
- Beds look sharp—defined edges and fresh mulch can make a world of difference visually.
