Using Bulbs Best
Author: GreenThumbs
Living in the Pacific Northwest certainly has its advantages when it comes to gardening. The ample rainfall and rich soil is ideal for many plants. My favorite plant, which absolutely thrives in this portion of the country, is the tulip.
With the help of the experts at a Seattle landscape designs firm, I have been able to keep my garden full of blossoming tulips every year. For starters, I always plant my tulip bulbs in a massive pot in an extremely sunny spot. I crowd in as many bulbs as possible, planting them twice the depth of the bulb in quality, well-draining potting soil. When the tulips are done flowering, I’ve tried, with some success, to transfer them to the ground in an effort to coax blooms next year.

For most of the last decade, home values increased annually in Redmond. With the wealth of natural splendor surrounding the city and a thriving tech industry represented by Microsoft and Nintendo of America, it’s no wonder that homes in the area are in such high demand. I’ve lived just outside of Redmond for a few years, and I constantly feel pressure applied by my neighbors to beautify the property.
Keeping up with the Joneses isn’t always easy, but taking a look at some Redmond residential plans really helped. It didn’t take long for me to realize that if I wanted my house to stand out from the rest, I would need unique and exciting landscaping in the backyard. Basic gardens just don’t cut it in this neck of the woods – I needed something that would impress my friends and neighbors without costing an arm and a leg.
Fixing Up Your West Seattle Yard

If you live right in the heart of downtown Seattle, landscaping can be a bit of a joke for you. After all, many of the buildings in this area are either apartments or condos, and they come with little to no yard space. With this information, make sure that you take this into account if you’re looking for a place to live. If having a yard is something that’s important to you, you might be better off looking into some of the outlying Seattle areas such as West Seattle.
In this area, there are plenty of high end houses that will also allow you the chance to get some yard work in on the weekends. If you’ve purchased a house in this area, though, you might find that the yard is a bit lacking. If that’s the case, consider looking into some companies that can help you with your Seattle landscape planning. By calling in the professionals, you can transform any small plot of yard into something impressive. And if you’re blessed with a green thumb, you can also undertake this project yourself.

Native Plants Better For Landscaping
Author: GreenThumbs
I love the landscaping in my hometown of Bellevue. Bellevue residential landscaping has often been admired by gardening magazines and lawn enthusiasts for it’s incorporation of plants and trees native to the Pacific Northwest. When non-native plants are used in neighborhood landscaping native plants suffer. This is because many non-native plants have the ability to smother and overgrow natural plant populations.
In Bellevue it is common to find Douglas-fir and Oregon White Oak trees planted alongside Western Serviceberry, Blue Elderberry, and Red Columbine berry plants. Since these trees and plants are all native to the region they pose no threat to other local plant species. Home owners can do their part to save their local environments by making sure their landscapers aren’t introducing any non-native plants.
