White Center Garden Bed Design Services

Are you dreaming of garden beds that enhance your property without demanding your weekends? You’re in the right spot! We specialize in creating stunning, low-maintenance designs tailored for White Center’s unique climate—think wet winters and sunny summers.


What’s the Problem?

Garden beds should be a joy, not a chore. Here are common issues we see in White Center:

  • Disorganized beds with mismatched plants lacking cohesion
  • Improper plant placement—sun-loving plants in the shade and shade plants in full sun
  • Weedy patches and poor soil quality detracting from your garden’s beauty
  • Drainage issues—muddy in winter and hard as rock in summer
  • High water usage from thirsty plants and inefficient irrigation
  • Curb appeal struggles that may not meet HOA standards

Our Design Approach (No Fluff, Just What Works)

Here’s how we transform your garden into a masterpiece:

  • Right plant, right place: We assess sunlight, wind patterns, drainage, and mature plant sizes to select the best plants.
  • Evergreen foundation (60–70%) with seasonal highlights (30–40%) for year-round interest.
  • Block planting: Groups of 3–5+ plants for a modern look—no more polka dots!
  • Defined edges: Smooth curves and clean lines using steel edging to keep mulch contained.
  • Soil health: Prioritizing healthy soil with compost and aeration, topped with 2–3” of mulch.

Plant Palettes That Thrive Here

Here are some plant combinations perfect for White Center:

  • Dry Sun Areas: lavender, rosemary, feather reed grass, rockrose.
  • Part Shade Gardens: rhododendron, camellia, sword fern, Japanese forest grass.
  • Coastal & Windy Spots: escallonia, wax myrtle, sea thrift, spiraea.
  • Pollinator Gardens: salvia, echinacea, aster, catmint.
  • Winter Interest: hellebore, red-twig dogwood, witch hazel.

Considering native plants? We recommend vine maple, Oregon grape, and bunchgrasses for sustainability.


Our Annual Maintenance Plan (Your Yard’s Routine)

Keep your yard healthy and vibrant with our annual maintenance plan, featuring:

  • Weed control: Scheduled hand-weeding and targeted pre-emergent treatments.
  • Mulch maintenance: Keeping 2–3” of mulch to block light and retain moisture.
  • Pruning: Timely cuts for shape and airflow—no more hedge-balling!
  • Soil enrichment: Compost top-dressing and micro-aeration ensure healthy growth.

Our mission is to provide low-maintenance landscaping for you, reducing issues between visits.


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: Ideal for most White Center gardens.
  • (New installation or heavy weed pressure? Start with monthly visits and taper down!)

What Annual Maintenance Includes

Expect the following from our annual maintenance:

  • Defined bed edges with fresh cuts for a polished appearance.
  • Targeted weed management and spot-mulching as needed.
  • Seasonal pruning to maintain plant health.
  • Regular health checks for pests and rot, with clear next steps.

Why Annual Maintenance Matters

  • Weed prevention: Fewer seeds now mean less work later.
  • Plant vitality: Better structure leads to fewer drastic cuts down the line.
  • Visual appeal: Defined edges and fresh mulch enhance curb appeal.
