Seattle Remove annual plants after season

As the gardening season comes to a close in Seattle, it’s crucial to think about removing your annual plants. While the vibrant blooms and greenery of summer are a delight, as fall approaches, those plants will begin to wilt and fade. Removing them not only enhances your property’s curb appeal but also contributes to a healthier garden ecosystem. The good news? This task can be straightforward and offers multiple benefits like improved safety, eco-friendliness, and low maintenance for the upcoming seasons.


Description & Benefits

What the Service Includes

Removing annual plants after the growing season involves several key tasks:

  • Assessment: Evaluating which plants are dead or dying and need to be removed.
  • Removal: Carefully pulling out the plants, ensuring roots are extracted to prevent diseases.
  • Disposal: Properly disposing of the plant material, either through composting or municipal waste.
  • Soil Preparation: Loosening the soil and adding organic matter to prepare for next season’s planting.

Key Benefits

  • Enhanced Appearance: A clean garden bed looks inviting and tidy, boosting your property’s curb appeal.
  • Durability: Removing dead plants prevents potential diseases from spreading to healthy plants.
