Woodinville Native Plant Landscaping Services

Hey there, Woodinville! Are you dreaming of a yard that not only thrives through our wet winters and dry summers but also looks fabulous with minimal upkeep? Welcome to the world of native plants! Our local flora is perfectly adapted to our unique climate, meaning they require less water, fewer chemicals, and way less fuss once established.


What’s the Problem?

Let’s face it—many gardens struggle with:

  • Thirsty, high-maintenance plants that wither under the summer sun
  • Beds that flood in winter and dry out in summer, stressing out your plants
  • Constant weeding due to exposed soil or picky plant choices
  • A wildlife “dead zone”—no nectar for bees, no berries for birds, and nothing for you
  • A desire for the beauty of the Pacific Northwest without the weekend chore list

Our Native-First Design Approach (What Actually Works Here)

At Neat & Tidy, we take pride in our native-first design approach that ensures your garden flourishes. Here’s how we do it:

  • Right plant, right place — We assess sunlight, wind, drainage, and mature size to create the perfect plant palette for your garden.
  • Structure first — A strong evergreen foundation (60–70%) paired with seasonal interest (30–40%) guarantees year-round beauty.
  • Blocks, not polka-dots — We plant in clusters of 3–7 to make a statement and reduce maintenance.
  • Soil, then mulch — We enhance soil health with light compost where needed and apply a 2–3” layer of mulch to retain moisture.
  • Drip irrigation — Smart zoning based on plant needs allows us to taper water as roots establish, saving both water and energy.
  • No landscape fabric — We only use it under gravel paths, never around plant roots, to promote healthy growth.

Palettes That Thrive in Woodinville

For Dry Sun Areas: Consider kinnikinnick (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi), Oregon grape (Mahonia aquifolium), and red-flowering currant (Ribes sanguineum).

For Part Shade: Try evergreen huckleberry (Vaccinium ovatum), salal (Gaultheria shallon), and sword fern (Polystichum munitum).

For Moist or Rain-Garden Areas: Red-twig dogwood (Cornus sericea), Pacific ninebark (Physocarpus capitatus), and slough sedge (Carex obnupta) are excellent choices.

Seasonal Color and Pollinator-Friendly Options: Douglas aster (Symphyotrichum subspicatum), native yarrow (Achillea millefolium), and penstemon (PNW natives) will attract bees and butterflies.

Want a coastal vibe that withstands wind and salt? We can incorporate wax myrtle, kinnikinnick, Oregon grape, and tough bunchgrasses for a resilient look.

Invasive Removal We Handle

We tackle pesky invasives like English ivy, Himalayan blackberry, and bindweed. Our process includes thorough clearing, root-chasing, and mulching, allowing native plants to flourish without competition.


Our Annual Maintenance Plan (Your Yard’s Routine)

Keeping your yard looking its best is a breeze with our comprehensive maintenance plan:

  • Weed Suppression — Scheduled hand-weeding along with targeted pre-emergent treatments to keep those pesky weeds at bay.
  • Mulch Management — We maintain a 2–3” layer of mulch to block light and retain moisture.
  • Pruning with Care — We time pruning to protect blooms and berries, ensuring your garden remains a wildlife haven.
  • Irrigation Tune-Up — We handle everything from spring start-ups to fall tapering and winter shutdowns.
  • Soil Health — Compost top-dressing in spring ensures your plants have the nutrients they need, with fertilizer only if a soil test indicates a deficiency.

Our goal? To provide you with low-maintenance landscaping that minimizes problems between visits and maximizes enjoyment for you.


Service Cadences (Pick What Fits)

Choose a maintenance schedule that fits your lifestyle:

  • Quarterly — Enjoy spring and fall deep cleans plus two seasonal tune-ups.
  • Bi-Monthly — A great balance for most Woodinville yards.

(If you’ve just installed new landscaping or are dealing with heavy weed pressure, we can kick things off with monthly visits for 90 days, then taper down.)


What Annual Maintenance Includes

  • Re-cutting bed edges and tidying lines for a polished look.
  • Targeted invasive control and spot-mulching where needed.
  • Seasonal pruning for structural integrity and wildlife-friendly timing.
  • Irrigation timer updates and quick emitter fixes to ensure efficient watering.
  • Plant health checks for rot, pests, and windburn, with clear next steps.

Why Annual Maintenance Matters

  • Survival & Growth — New natives develop deeper roots faster with the right care.
  • Lower Water Bills — Deep, infrequent watering beats daily spritzing, saving you money.
  • Habitat Wins — Create flowers, berries, and cover for pollinators and birds.
  • Cleaner Look — Crisp edges and consistent mulch mean instant curb appeal.

How It Works

  1. Free Estimate — We provide a clear, upfront pricing structure based on a photo/video or a quick walkthrough.
  2. Set Your Schedule — Choose between quarterly, bi-monthly, or monthly services that suit your needs.
  3. Service Day — We clear, prune, edge, and can also install mulch/gravel or refresh lawns as needed.
  4. Follow-Up — You’ll receive simple care tips and easy add-ons whenever you desire them.
