Whether you’re refreshing tired beds, replacing plants that didn’t make it, or starting from scratch, Green Garden designs planting plans built for Seattle’s climate and your specific property. We take the guesswork out of plant selection by evaluating your soil, drainage, light, and long-term goals — so what goes in the ground actually thrives.
In Seattle, fall and spring are the strongest planting seasons. Cooler temperatures and consistent moisture allow roots to establish with less stress and less irrigation.
Fall planting is especially effective in the Pacific Northwest, giving plants time to root in before summer heat. Spring works well too, particularly when paired with a properly adjusted irrigation system.
When you work with Green Garden, we evaluate your soil, drainage, sun exposure, and long-term maintenance goals to ensure what we plant is set up to thrive with colors and plants you love.
Plant failure in Seattle is often caused by poor drainage, compacted clay soils, improper watering, incorrect plant placement, or varieties that simply aren’t suited to our climate.
Many residential landscapes were installed without long-term performance in mind. Sun-loving plants end up in shade. Drainage isn’t corrected before planting. Irrigation isn’t adjusted seasonally.
At Green Garden, our horticulture-driven approach means we assess site conditions firstoil structure, exposure, moisture patterns — before recommending replacements. We select plants that are appropriate for Seattle’s climate and your specific property, reducing repeat failure and protecting your investment
