Our Story
Garden Cycles began in Seattle with a focus on a critical local challenge: stabilizing slide-prone slopes. Founder [Your Name] started by volunteering and working with restoration ecologists, learning to remove shallow-rooted invasives like ivy and replant with native trees and shrubs—often while conquering a fear of heights on steep, view-rich properties. This hands-on, ecologically-minded approach grew from residential projects into municipal contracts. Today, the dedicated team specializes in native plant restoration, removing invasive species like blackberry, knotweed, and English ivy, reducing lawn size, and applying woodchip mulch. They plant natives specifically to support local wildlife, conserve water, and create resilient, beautiful landscapes that are easier to maintain. It's work rooted in deep respect for the Pacific Northwest ecosystem.
Question Answers
Can you help with storm debris cleanup and standing water issues in my Seattle yard?
Absolutely. We frequently address these common Seattle challenges. For standing water, we can assess drainage and regrade problem areas, often incorporating native, water-tolerant plants into a redesigned landscape to improve absorption. For storm debris, our maintenance services include safe removal of fallen branches and organic matter, which we responsibly chip for mulch or compost, helping to recycle nutrients back into your soil.
What's involved in your shrub disease and insect management service?
Our approach prioritizes the health of your entire landscape. We start by identifying the specific pest or disease, then use targeted, environmentally responsible treatments—often focusing on improving plant vigor through proper pruning, soil care, and choosing resistant native species. The goal is effective management that supports a balanced ecosystem in your garden, reducing the need for repeated interventions.
Why do you focus on native plants for restoration and new plantings?
Our experience restoring unstable slopes taught us that native plants are the key to a resilient, low-maintenance landscape. They have deep root systems that stabilize soil and manage water, are adapted to our local climate (requiring less water once established), and provide essential food and habitat for local birds, bees, and butterflies. This creates a beautiful, thriving garden that works with nature, not against it.
