Common Questions

How do you handle common Seattle issues like tree root lawn damage or patchy sprinkler coverage?

In Seattle's unique environment, tree roots and inconsistent sprinkler coverage are frequent challenges. We approach tree root damage by assessing the health of the tree and the affected area. Often, we'll recommend transitioning the damaged lawn section into a beautiful, root-tolerant shade garden or installing a permeable walkway that works with the existing roots. For sprinkler gaps, we conduct a thorough audit of your current system and can design and install targeted, water-efficient irrigation zones or suggest drought-tolerant native plantings that thrive with less water, ensuring your garden is resilient and sustainable.

Do you offer lawn mowing services?

No, we do not provide lawn mowing. Our expertise is focused on sustainable garden design, construction, and holistic maintenance. This includes organic fertilization, pruning, weeding, soil care, and the installation of garden features like patios, walkways, and raised beds. This allows our certified horticulturists to dedicate their skills to creating and maintaining healthy, vibrant, and ecologically sound garden ecosystems for our clients.

What does your year-round landscape maintenance include?

Our year-round maintenance is tailored to the Seattle seasons and is centered on long-term plant health. It includes seasonal pruning, organic fertilization, weeding, mulching, soil amendment, and monitoring for pests and diseases using organic methods. We also provide proactive care for installed elements like walkways and patios. A key part of our service is client education; we'll help you understand the 'why' behind each task, empowering you to connect with your garden's natural cycles.
