1st Choice Landscapes: Professional Landscaping Serving Seattle, WA 98178

The key is a multi-step approach. We start by removing existing weeds, then apply a high-quality, pre-emergent herbicide before laying a fresh 2-3 inch layer of mulch. Proper mulch depth smothers weed seeds and retains soil moisture. As part of our landscape maintenance, we perform regular inspections and spot-treat any breakthroughs, keeping your beds clean and healthy year-round.

Absolutely. A frequent cause in Seattle is compacted soil or moss invasion, which chokes out grass. Our service begins with core aeration to relieve compaction and improve drainage. We then remove dead material, overseed with Pacific Northwest-appropriate grass blends, and apply a balanced fertilizer. Regular maintenance mowing and seasonal care prevent recurrence, bringing your entire lawn back to a lush, green state.

Healthy trees are central to a healthy landscape. Overgrown or diseased trees can create excessive shade, leading to thin grass and moss. They can also drop debris that promotes weed growth. Our tree care services include strategic pruning to increase sunlight penetration, removal of hazardous limbs, and overall health assessments. This integrated approach ensures your trees and lawn thrive together, solving multiple issues at once.
