Woodinville Home Sale Curb Appeal Services

Hey, Woodinville homeowners! When it comes to selling your home, first impressions are everything—especially in our vibrant real estate market. You get just one scroll on Redfin and one drive-by, so if your yard looks tired, potential buyers might think the house is, too. That’s where we come in! At Neat & Tidy Landscaping, we create clean, simple, and photo-ready exteriors fast—helping your listing stand out without burning a hole in your wallet.


What’s the Problem?

Does your yard have that “I need some love” vibe? Here are a few common culprits we can tackle:

  • Weedy, flat beds that lack definition and have faded mulch
  • Patchy or mossy lawns with ragged edges and dry spots from sprinkler issues
  • Overgrown shrubs that block windows, house numbers, and natural light
  • Slick or stained walks and steps, making the entry seem lackluster in photos

Our Pre-Listing Curb Appeal Plan (crafted for speed & stunning photos)

Here’s how we work our magic quickly and effectively:

  • Define lines — We’ll create deep bed edges, crisp lawn borders, and hard cuts around walks and driveways to sharpen your landscape.
  • Weed, shape, and lift — Our team will prune shrubs and hedges strategically to open up windows and sightlines.
  • Fresh mulch (2–3”) — This adds an instant pop of color, helps suppress weeds, and gives a clean, inviting texture.
  • Lawn rehab—tailored to your timeline
    • 48–72 hrs: Mow, edge, apply color feed, spot topdress, and green-up (without scalping).
    • 1–2 wks: Core aeration, overseed, and compost cap (focusing on the front yard).
    • Sod patch: For those bare spots that need to look “done” before photo day.
  • Entry refresh — We’ll sweep and soft-wash, add seasonal color pots, swap out doormats, and prune for a clear door reveal.
  • Hardscape clean — Moss/algae treatment on steps and walks, followed by a light rinse (no joint blasting).
  • Detailing — We’ll blow out debris, rake lines in mulch, tidy gravel seams, hide drip lines, and coil hoses.

Pro Tip: Avoid major plant installations 72 hours before photography. It can make the area look “new and patchy.” Instead, focus on clean lines, fresh mulch, and strategic pruning for the best return on investment.


Packages & Timelines

Choose from our curated packages that fit your needs:

  • Photo-Day Blitz (24–72 hrs)
    Quick edge definition, weeding, selective pruning, mulching, mowing/edging, entry pot arrangements, hardscape cleaning, and a blowdown.

  • 1–2 Week Refresh
    Everything in the blitz, plus core aeration, overseeding for the front lawn, compost topdressing, irrigation tuning, and shrub shaping.

  • Full Pre-Listing Tune-Up (2–4 weeks)
    This includes sod patches, light plantings to fill gaps, pathway touch-ups, gravel top-ups, and minor paver re-sanding.

(Need HOA/inspection punch-list items handled? We can fold those into the scope where they fit into landscaping.)


What’s Included

Our services cover all the essentials to boost your curb appeal:

  • Bed edge cutting and definition
  • Hand weeding and pre-emergent application where appropriate
  • Mulch delivery and installation (2–3”, pulled back from stems/siding)
  • Lawn care: mow/edge, spot topdressing; aeration/overseeding for longer timelines
  • Targeted shrub and hedge pruning (no hack jobs here!)
  • Hardscape moss/algae treatment plus light rinse
  • Entry planters with seasonal color (optional)
  • Final clean-up: blow, sweep, and photo-ready check

Add-Ons

Want to enhance your curb appeal even further? Consider these options:

  • Gravel top-ups and edge resets for drives and side yards
  • Paver joint re-sanding for uneven entries (small areas)
  • Irrigation check-up and timer setting for showings
  • Minor drainage adjustments (managing splash pads and gutter splash control)
  • Low-voltage path light checks and simple fixture swaps

Why Curb Appeal Work Matters

Investing in curb appeal pays off in multiple ways:

  • Photos sell — Clean lines and contrasting colors look better on listing sites.
  • Fast walk-up — Buyers won’t have to wonder what else might be neglected.
  • Low-risk fixes — Mulch, edging, pruning, and lawn toning are high-impact, low-drama solutions.
  • Protects staging — Clean entries and paths help keep interiors tidy during showings.

Our Annual Maintenance Plan (for after you sell or if you’re staying put)

Keep your property looking its best year-round with our maintenance options:

  • Quarterly — Spring and fall deep clean plus two tune-ups to maintain that fresh look.
  • Bi-Monthly — Ideal for high-growth yards or properties with lots of tree litter.

We’re a low-maintenance landscaping crew. Fewer problems between visits mean less work for you!
