Green Scent Landscaping - Tacoma's Local Landscaping Services

Our design process starts with a detailed site analysis of your property's sun exposure, slopes, and existing irrigation. We then create a custom landscape and greenscape plan that groups plants with similar water needs into specific 'hydrozones.' This allows us to design or retrofit your sprinkler system with precision, ensuring each zone gets the right amount of water without wasteful overlap or dry spots, a common issue in our area.

Our greenscape design goes beyond plant selection. For compacted Tacoma soils, we focus on building healthy soil structure. This includes specifying deep-rooting native plants that naturally break up soil, incorporating generous amounts of organic compost to improve texture and drainage, and planning for strategic aeration as part of your long-term maintenance. We design the planting beds and root zones to promote long-term soil health.

Absolutely. Our Tacoma lawn care program is specifically tailored to combat soil compaction and uneven growth. The core of our solution is annual core aeration, which pulls out plugs of soil to relieve compaction, allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots. We combine this with overseeding to fill in thin patches, targeted fertilization to strengthen the grass, and adjustments to your irrigation schedule to ensure deep, even watering that promotes a thick, resilient turf.
