This is the best time to order your tulip bulbs in preparation for next Spring! 💛 💜 What tulip color would you like in your yard? 📷️ Photo credit: Carlos H, Construction Lead. #TulipSeason #LandscapeDesign #GardenDesign #CurbAppeal #SpringGarden #BulbPlanting

🌷 Tulips deliver that first burst of Spring color before the weather is truly gardening-worthy in Seattle We love that planting bulbs in the Fall results in this pop of color the following Spring, before most homeowners are even considering their spring clean-up.

Last week was a good one as we gear up for Spring, literally. 👕 We are excited for our team members to feel proud displaying our brand, while serving all of our clients this Spring 😊 #SeattleLandscapers #ResidentialLandscaping

Pollinators move, and rely on connection across the landscape. 🐝 🪻 Bloom across seasons 💧 Providing shallow water sources 🌾 Placing pots with flowers on balconies Small yards can support something much bigger.

#Ladybugs follow habitat. 🐞 > Evergreens for food and shelter > Companion planting for balance > Leaf litter + stems for overwintering Build the system, and they show up.

#Materials set the tone of your space’s mood. For this project, we paired the old-world charm of #BelgardSheltonWall with the rustic character of #cortensteel. Together, they suggest a timeless atmosphere that will continue to evolve as steel weathers and moss finds its place.

✂ From a compact and structured look, to more naturally open and layered - each option has its place in the landscape depending on the goals for the space. #gardenmaintenance #trimming #Landscaping #SeattleLandscapes #ResidentialLandscaping

🌱Japanese Andromeda (Pieris japonica), like any other plant, will respond to how it’s placed, pruned, and allowed to grow over time.

A #SustainableApproach goes beyond product choices. It considers time, resources, and how a solution performs within its surroundings.

😍 We love it when #LandscapeDesign responds to real site conditions, combining observation, technical understanding, and creativity to get the job done sustainably: – root systems and long-term #TreeHealth – drainage and soil movement – material efficiency and durability

Our team came across this fence while driving through a #Seattle neighborhood yesterday: A boundary line interrupted by a mature tree. 🤩 🙌 Instead of ‘removing the obstacle’ to build the #fence they needed, they designed around it.

💧 Ensures proper coverage to support root growth and reduce waste through runoff and overspray. 💧 Checks all zones to make sure your existing system is delivering what each area needs, when it needs it.

When it comes to #irrigation, small adjustments and repairs made in the #Spring during a Startup Appointment can lead to more efficient results during the warm season. Our team: 💧 Realigns heads to water where they’re meant to.

🌳Deciduous magnolias bloom BEFORE their leaves emerge, providing a short window where structure carries the entire show! These #trees are planted throughout the Seattle area, including in the UW Arboretum. Where is your favorite area to see #Magnolias at this time of year?

Experiences like this strengthen how we work as a team and how we deliver consistent results in the field. 💚

Back to the fundamentals with the #WALPBootcamp. 🖐️ All of our crews showed up to move through training stations covering the full scope of our work: planting, irrigation, construction, maintenance, and the tools and techniques behind each.

When you don't know where to start, start with a clean-up.🧹 Schedule your #SpringCleanup: 206-414-8615 (Seattle’s area only).

Whatever we apply to the soil doesn’t stay there. Rainfall and irrigation will carry chemicals and fertilizers into storm drains and, eventually, into the Sound (and the ecosystems that live there). #SustainableLandscapes

🐙 One of our crews spotted an octopus during their lunch break at a project across the street from #AlkiBeach! Moments like this remind us that landscaping directly affects the #PugetSound and our nearshore environments 🌊
