If you’re a homeowner or small property manager in Seattle, you know how important it is to keep your flower beds looking their best. Deadheading—removing spent blooms—can be a game changer for your garden’s health and appearance. Not only does it enhance curb appeal, but it also promotes plant longevity, reduces maintenance needs, and supports eco-friendly practices. Here’s how deadheading can benefit your flower beds and why you should consider professional services.
