Native plant garden packages, which are part of our design and build packages, are landscaping solutions that prioritize the use of plants naturally adapted to a specific region, making them ideal for sustainable landscaping. These packages integrate native plants into your garden design, promoting ecological balance and reducing the need for intensive maintenance. For Seattle homeowners, native plants are an excellent choice due to their ability to thrive in the region’s wet winters and dry summers. Beyond enhancing the beauty of your outdoor space, these plants support the local environment by attracting pollinators, improving soil health, and conserving water.
Native plant garden packages stand out as a sustainable alternative to traditional landscaping. They require less irrigation, fertilizers, and pesticides, making them an eco-friendly choice. Native plants also play a crucial role in fostering biodiversity, providing food and shelter for wildlife. Whether you’re looking to create a serene retreat, a vibrant pollinator habitat, or a functional outdoor space, native plant gardens offer the flexibility and ecological benefits to meet your goals while respecting the natural environment.
Native plant gardens create essential habitats for bees, butterflies, birds, and other beneficial wildlife. By planting species like red-flowering currant or Oregon grape, you contribute to maintaining the ecological balance while enhancing your garden’s visual appeal.
Native plants are naturally drought-tolerant, requiring minimal irrigation once established. This makes them a sustainable choice for homeowners in Seattle, where seasonal rainfall varies significantly.
Unlike non-native plants, native species are adapted to local conditions, making them more resistant to pests and diseases. This reduces the need for chemical treatments and maintenance, saving time and resources.
From wet winters to summer dry spells, native plants are well-suited to Seattle’s diverse weather patterns. Their ability to flourish in local soil and climatic conditions ensures a resilient, thriving garden year-round.
We begin by evaluating your soil, drainage, and sun exposure to determine which native plants will thrive on your property. Urban challenges, such as microclimates or limited space, are also considered to create a design tailored to your landscape.
Our team works with you to define your garden’s purpose and aesthetic. Whether you prefer a naturalistic design or a structured layout, we incorporate sustainable practices, such as erosion control and water conservation, into your plans.
We recommend a diverse selection of native plants, including shrubs, groundcovers, and flowering perennials that thrive in Seattle’s environment. For year-round interest, we incorporate evergreens and plants with varying bloom times, ensuring your garden looks vibrant in every season.
Healthy soil is the foundation of a thriving garden. We prepare the soil using organic compost and natural amendments to create a nutrient-rich base for your plants. Mulching is also incorporated to retain moisture, reduce weeds, and improve soil structure.
Efficient water management is a cornerstone of native plant gardens. We design irrigation systems that minimize water use and incorporate features like rain gardens to capture and utilize Seattle’s seasonal rainfall. Selecting drought-tolerant species further enhances your garden’s sustainability.
Native plants attract pollinators and support wildlife by providing food, shelter, and nesting sites. By strategically placing plants like milkweed or yarrow, we create vibrant ecosystems that enhance your garden’s productivity and ecological value.
