Bed Maintenance

Professional garden bed maintenance in Seattle means more than pulling a few weeds and calling it good—it's the ongoing care that keeps perennials thriving season after season and prevents your flower beds from turning into weed nurseries that slowly choke out the plants you actually want. Our landscape maintenance services follow the Pacific Northwest cycle: spring cleanup in late February through March when we cut back herbaceous perennials to ground level and remove old foliage that harbors slugs and fungal spores, regular hand-weeding before weeds go to seed and deadheading through the growing season to redirect energy into new blooms rather than seed production, and fall preparation in late October when we cut back dead foliage, divide overgrown perennials like daylilies and hostas, and apply 2-3 inches of organic mulch to stabilize soil temperature through winter. This timing matters in King County where our wet winters and long growing seasons create specific challenges that generic landscaping companies often miss. Regular bed maintenance also means we catch drainage problems early, identify plant health issues before they spread, and keep your landscape beds looking intentionally designed rather than accidentally assembled—because professional landscaping contractors understand that consistent care costs less than periodic renovation, and that's how residential landscaping maintains its value year after year.
