Gravel in Seattle

Gravel is a popular landscaping choice in Seattle, known for its versatility and practicality. It can enhance drainage, create attractive pathways, and serve as a durable ground cover. However, choosing the right type of gravel and knowing how to maintain it can be challenging for homeowners. In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of gravel in Seattle, how to effectively use it in your landscaping, and what you need to get started.


Our Approach

At Neat & Tidy, we believe that a well-planned gravel landscape can minimize maintenance and enhance the beauty of your property. Here’s how we approach gravel installation and maintenance:

  • Consultation: We assess your property to determine the best gravel type and placement.
  • Installation: Our team handles all aspects of gravel placement, ensuring proper drainage and aesthetics.
  • Maintenance: We provide ongoing care for your gravel areas to keep them looking fresh and functional.
  • Customization: Each project is tailored to your specific needs, whether it’s a driveway, garden path, or decorative border.

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


Service Cadences

To keep your gravel areas in top shape, we offer flexible service cadences:

  • Quarterly: Spring/fall deep clean + two tune-ups, ideal for extensive gravel areas.
  • Bi-Monthly: Balanced care that suits most yards, ensuring gravel stays in place and weeds are managed.
  • Monthly: Perfect for high-visibility properties and rentals where appearance matters most.

What’s Included

Our gravel care services provide comprehensive support, including:

  • Weed Control: Regular removal of unwanted plants to keep your gravel looking tidy.
  • Raking and Resettling: Ensuring gravel is evenly distributed and well-compacted.
  • Pathway Maintenance: Keeping pathways clear and free of debris for safe navigation.
  • Drainage Checks: Ensuring gravel is functioning effectively to manage water runoff.
  • Refresh Services: Optional replenishing of gravel to maintain a fresh appearance.

Why It Matters

Choosing gravel for your landscaping in Seattle offers numerous benefits:

  • Improved Drainage: Gravel allows water to flow through, reducing puddles and erosion.
  • Low Maintenance: Once installed, gravel requires minimal upkeep compared to grass or other ground covers.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: Available in various colors and sizes, gravel can enhance the visual appeal of your property.
  • Cost-Effective: Gravel is often less expensive than other paving options, making it a budget-friendly choice for homeowners.
  • HOA Compliance: A well-maintained gravel area can help you meet HOA guidelines for curb appeal.

How It Works

Getting started with gravel landscaping is simple:

  1. Quick Estimate: We provide a clear, upfront pricing estimate based on a photo/video or onsite assessment.
  2. Set Your Schedule: Choose from quarterly, bi-monthly, or monthly services based on your needs.
  3. Service Day: Our team arrives to clear, prune, and edge your gravel areas, with an optional mulch/gravel refresh.
