Lawn & Tree Care Services
We are currently brewing fresh compost tea everyday! This product is applied throughout your landscaped beds if you are one of our tree care clients. Compost tea is full of beneficial bacteria and micro-organisms. It has been called soil soup! We are also monitoring & treating any insect activity.
Our lawn care clients are receiving fertilizer & if they are on our minimal pesticide program, we are spot treating any broad-leaf weeds that may be present in the lawn. The cooler temperatures and rains have greatly helped our lawn recover from the summer stress. We would like to remind you that leaves will be falling on the lawn as temperatures drop at night. Please be sure to rake the leaves off the lawn as quickly as possible. We will begin calling every client in round 6 to see if you would like to help us gather non-perishable food items for Northwest Harvest. This is an annual food drive we do with our clients & if you would like to participate, please leave food items at the front door on the day of services. Our technician will bring it back to the office. Please contact Karrie if you have any questions.

Special Service
This has been a long hot summer! Many lawns have been left to go dormant this season. Once the weather shifts and days become shorter, rain returns with cooler temperatures, we will be starting up the fall aeration & over-seed season. We offer aeration & over-seeding in the spring & fall. If you would like to add these services to your program, please contact Karrie. If you have any questions, please let us know.
Aeration is when we pull plugs out of the lawn. By opening up the soil profile, it allows for air-flow to the root zone and can help alleviate compaction of soil. The over-seed service is completed after we aerate. Applying a Northwest blend of seed to the lawn will help to keep the turf thick. A thick lawn is the best weed barrier!

Landscape Design & Install
Destination: Backyard Adventure Land
Designer: MJ Gilman
We recently transformed this backyard that was full of weeds, over-grown and unused to an adventure land that will be lived-in & explored regularly. The homeowner wanted a place that the kids could play outside and enjoy the natural elements offered. It is a sanctuary to grow & learn & explore that is safe for the family to enjoy during the day and especially after work.
Access from the upper backyard to the lower backyard was improved with the installation of these giant stone slabs that lead into a patio fit for backyard dinners under the stars. A fire pit is the perfect accessory for gathering at night to tell stories, roast marshmallows and relax. This lawn is also the perfect size for summer camp-outs or kicking the soccer ball.
This is a low maintenance landscape that offers refuge from the busy work day as well as a place to build new and lasting memories.
