Seasonal Planting

What This Service Involves

Our region's long growing season and gentle winters let thoughtfully chosen plantings perform far beyond the summer months. We select species suited to Puget Sound's acidic soils and marine climate, from cool-season color to evergreen structure that carries a garden through gray winters. Each rotation is planned around bloom timing, drainage, and the light your site actually gets under our frequent overcast. Whether you want spring bulbs, summer annuals, or fall and winter interest, we plant for lasting results rather than a quick, fading show.

Benefits

Plant selections matched to PNW soils and climate; Year-round interest, including winter structure; Proper soil prep and drainage for wet conditions; Seasonal rotations timed to bloom cycles; Healthier, longer-lasting displays than big-box plantings

Our Process

1) Evaluate soil, drainage, and light conditions on-site; 2) Choose species suited to the season and your microclimate; 3) Amend soil and install plants at correct spacing and depth; 4) Set watering and care guidance for the establishment period

What Affects the Cost

Size and number of beds or containers planted; Plant species, sizes, and quantities; Extent of soil amendment and drainage work; Seasonal versus year-round rotation schedule; Ongoing care or one-time installation

Best Time of Year

Plan spring and summer color for planting after the last lowland frost, and install fall and winter interest in early autumn while soils are still warm.
