Backyard Landscaping in Seattle

Backyard landscaping in Seattle can be a rewarding yet challenging endeavor due to the region’s unique climate and soil conditions. With abundant rainfall and a diverse range of plant life, homeowners can transform their outdoor spaces into lush retreats. However, understanding the right plants, materials, and maintenance strategies is essential for success. This guide will walk you through practical steps to create a beautiful and functional backyard landscape that suits Seattle’s environment.


Our Approach

At Neat & Tidy, we focus on creating low-maintenance landscapes that thrive in Seattle’s climate. Our approach includes:

  • Plant Selection: We prioritize native and drought-resistant plants that require less water and care.
  • Soil Improvement: We assess and amend soil to promote healthy growth.
  • Design Planning: We help you create a balanced design that enhances your space and meets your lifestyle needs.
  • Sustainable Practices: We implement eco-friendly practices that respect the local ecosystem.

We’re a low-maintenance landscaping crew. Our goal is fewer problems between visits and less work for you.


Service Cadences

To maintain your backyard effectively, we offer tailored service cadences:

  • Quarterly: Ideal for a deep clean in spring and fall, along with two tune-ups during the growing season.
  • Bi-Monthly: Perfect for balanced care, this option suits most yards for consistent upkeep.
  • Monthly: Best for high-visibility properties and rentals, ensuring your yard always looks its best.

What’s Included

Our landscaping services encompass a variety of tasks, ensuring your backyard remains beautiful and healthy:

  • Weeding and Mulching: Regular weeding to keep beds tidy and mulching to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
  • Pruning and Trimming: Careful pruning of shrubs and trees to promote growth and maintain shape.
  • Edging and Lawn Care: Defined edges for garden beds and regular lawn maintenance to keep grass healthy and vibrant.
  • Soil Testing and Amendments: Assessing soil health and adding necessary amendments to improve nutrient content.
  • Seasonal Planting: Suggestions for seasonal flowers, vegetables, and herbs that thrive in Seattle’s climate.

Why It Matters

Investing in backyard landscaping is beneficial for several reasons:

  • Safety: Well-maintained yards reduce hazards, such as overgrown branches or uneven surfaces.
  • Curb Appeal: A beautifully landscaped backyard enhances the overall appearance of your property, making it more attractive to visitors and potential buyers.
  • Drainage: Proper landscaping can improve drainage, preventing water pooling and reducing erosion.
  • Maintenance Savings: A well-planned landscape reduces long-term maintenance costs by using hardy, low-care plants.
