Site assessment and plant selection: Ready to transform your outdoor space into a stunning garden? Let's start with a thorough site assessment to understand soil, drainage, and sunlight. With this knowledge, we'll suggest plants to enhance your garden's natural beauty.
Garden bed design: We understand that stunning gardens require a balance of design and maintenance. Our philosophy is to prioritize long-term maintenance over complex design, as this leads to healthier and more sustainable gardens. By keeping our designs simple, we can ensure that your garden is easy to maintain and affordable.
Garden maintenance assessment: This service provides valuable insights into the maintenance needs of your plants. We'll cover pruning timing, flower deadheading, weeding strategies, compost, mulch requirements, and more. You'll know exactly what's needed to keep your garden looking stunning all year round, whether you're new to gardening or inherited an unfamiliar garden.
Native plant and pollinator garden: Attract Birds & Butterflies (And Save Water). We design stunning native plant gardens that thrive in our Seattle climate, requiring less water and maintenance while creating a beautiful habitat for local wildlife.
Plant rehabilitation assessment: If your plant has suffered from bad pruning or shearing practices, storms, or snow damage, and is no longer showing vigor or flowers, don't worry! We can assess and evaluate its renovation potential.
Plant health assessment: Monitoring plant health is vital in preventing the spread of pests and diseases that threaten tree populations. By prioritizing plant health, we can protect and preserve our garden plants and urban forests for future generations.
Expert Pruning for Plant Health: We use professional, natural pruning techniques (never shearing) that respect your plant's natural shape. This promotes vigorous growth, more flowers, and long-term health for your trees and shrubs.

Home assessment and plant selection - An evaluation where we consider the amount of light, humidity, pet friendliness, and your time to care for plants to provide you with a list of plants that will work best in your space.
Potting and re-potting - Whether you want to up-pot or keep using the same pot, all plants need a soil re-freshening every year or every two years. Nursery soils tend to be poor quality soils or not good for every plant. We will tailor the soil mix for each of your plants.
Grooming - Removing dead leaves or just having a small "hair cut" will keep your houseplants looking vibrant and promotes healthy grow.
Watering - We can keep your plants hydrated while you are out of town.
Plant health care - Pest or disease diagnosis and recommend organic treatments.
Organic fertilization - Provide all the nutrients your plants need to keep their lush all year long. We prefer slow-release fertilizers so you don't have to worry for months.
