Curb Appeal
A Cut Above Landscaping provides affordable landscaping in Seattle Tacoma WA area and all points in between and surrounding. Our landscape design and landscape maintenance teams are ready for residential or commercial projects of any size. For larger properties, we work with larger trees and shrubs which surround and add more curb appeal than fences, and continue with smaller trees, shrubs, plants, and flowers to add curb appeal. Since our team of licensed professionals is ready for larger projects, we can also coordinate for construction, deliveries, installation, and management of additions of upgrades to either the exterior or interior.
Our landscape design team is ready to start with an audit of the soil and irrigation system, and continue by checking for dead or diseased plants or trees, replacing or upgrading at the best times of the year for doing so. In addition, we can add trees and shrubs to provide shade and add beauty in locations such as a patio, driveway, or extended yard. When it comes to commercial projects, A Cut Above lives up to its name by providing landscape maintenance for entire townhouse, condo, and apartment complexes. We can create a consistent look with colors of well-trimmed plants and flowers placed at each building. This can include parking areas (such as surrounding with large trees and shrubs to add shade), entrance ways, garden areas, and common areas such as the mail area, clubhouse, pool, or tennis court.
Commercial and industrial properties can call on A Cut Above for both exterior and interior landscape maintenance. For example, we can take the colors of the exterior flowers and plants and create a similar look with an indoor garden for the lobby or interior common area(s). We can also install and maintain plant and flower beds using carefully selected pottery over a mulch base or rock garden to add to the color and look while potentially reducing the cost of our schedule maintenance.

Landscaping
Ricmar Landscaping Services provides much more than reliable landscaping in Seattle WA and vicinity from its headquarters in Kent. Our fully licensed and injured team focuses on landscape design and irrigation systems throughout the entire region. With so much moisture near all of the waterfront areas, our work begins with an audit of the soil and checking the flow after our gutter cleaning services. We work with drip irrigation and sprinkler systems, as well as monitoring the flow of moisture as part of our landscape maintenance. For example, we can add soil to form a slope to direct moisture toward a drain or street. Or, we can reduce the amount of soil to allow for a steady flow throughout a wider area if needed.
Our large concentration on irrigation is in addition to the landscape maintenance services which Seattle and NW Washington home owners have come to expect. We work extensively with plants, trees, shrubs, flowers, along with construction and installation of materials. The planting (or replanting), trimming, cultivating, and pruning is completed with even more than the flow of moisture in mind. There is a landscaping goal, including maintaining the beauty while adding to the curb appeal of the property. For example, we can add trees or large shrubs to surround a yard and provide shade. We can add shrubs and/or plants to surround a patio area, whether newly constructed or not, adding both privacy and shade.
In addition, we work with mulch, pavers, rock formations, and exterior lighting, which can be used to surround a driveway, pathway, entrance, or garden spot. These can also be excellent options for a patio, outdoor grill area or fire pit, and/or a play area for the kids. Mulch, in particular, can be used to help absorb additional moisture. You can easily hire Ricmar directly through the easy to use GreenPal App!

Let's face it, finding reliable landscaping is difficult. Between scheduling and no-show time after time, it can be a real pain to keep up with your lawn maintenance needs. We have a solution.
Seattle WA and the surrounding region offers a lot to its residents and businesses. The Space Needle, downtown Seattle, The Seattle Art Museum, Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park, and the Jimi Hendrix Memorial are among the top attractions for visitors and residents. The University of Washington is home to thousands of students. The waterfront views of Ellliot Bay, Lake Washington, Lake Union, and the entire Puget Sound add amazing scenery. The tech industry is a significant part of the Seattle scene, which is host to companies such as Microsoft and Amazon.
Although known for the seemingly constant rainfall, the region’s rainfall is actually right at the national average, while snowfall totals are less than 20% of the national average. Some residents elect to put in a “rain garden” in their yard. An ideal rain garden contains plants which can tolerate both periods of heavy rain and an occasional drought. For those reasons, the Seattle Washington region is one of the most important for going with native plants, flowers, and shrubs for landscaping an entire property.
Perhaps the most important element of landscape design in the Seattle Washington area is having a plan which works for both you and your property. Much of the plan could be determined by how much (or how little) work you, as homeowner, is willing to do or the landscaping budget if going with professional landscaping. The next important element is determining which trees and plants are appropriate for your property. Important factors include the amount and the timing of sunlight on the property. Keep in mind that portions of the property may receive direct sunlight only the morning or afternoon, while other parts receive direct sunlight throughout the day.
Next, there is the soil itself, which should be audited from the various parts of the property. Whether the soil holds water or is poorly drained or well drained throughout the yard should factor in to Seattle landscaping decisions. The idea is to be able to plant species which grow well in a natural setting. However, be aware that some species need more maintenance than others, an even more important point for a larger yard or garden featuring multiple plants. It would not make sense to have some species which require more maintenance than others within the same general location. Also, keep in mind that if using a smaller space that some plants and shrubs may require constant pruning. If planning to grow a lot of the same plant, it is helpful to research the possible growth pattern of native plants. Some grow “wild”, as in spreading throughout an area, while other species tend to grow in a more compact fashion. This is another consideration when planning for a yard or garden with specific size limitations. Rain barrels, as mentioned earlier, are typically good options.
Other factors to consider include the proximity of your property to the Puget Sound, or any of the many lakes, rivers, and ponds throughout the Seattle Tacoma Washington region. The soil tends to have even more moisture year-round when near a body of water.
Frequently Asked Questions
Fall is typically the best time to remove dead plants and shrubs because diseases and/or pests will often persist during the Winter months. Prompt removal of spent annuals, as well as vegetable plants, is important because it reduces or eliminates the opportunity for pests and diseases to spread. Diseased dead plants should be disposed of, whereas spent plant materials which appear healthy could be composted. Note that with plants which are considered vigorous and with areas in which there are mostly bulbs, there is no need to remove the leaves. Those leaves, when left in place, can help to protect nearby plants while suppressing weeds.
The Douglas Fir (which is a family of several species), Pacific Madrone, Oregon White Oak, Red Alder, and Oregon Crabapple are considered to be solid choices for a yard or for bordering a property. When it comes to fast growth, the Hybrid Poplar grows as much as five feet per year. The Weeping Willow grows best near the ocean, lakes, or rivers, and can grow three to eight feet each year. Next in line are the Silver Maple, Leyland Cypress, and Green Giant Arborvitae, which typically grow about two feet annually. Maple trees are considered to be low maintenance while providing ample shade.
When it comes to landscape design in Seattle, a small project can range from $700 to $4,000. The variation is based on the scope of the project as well as the amount of design work and labor involved. For a larger project, such as one which involves concept drawings or renderings, construction documents, and/or hardscape designs, can run up to $12,000. Costs include (in addition to any design or architecture) construction or garden materials, delivery and installation, labor and project management. When it comes to ongoing landscape maintenance in Seattle and vicinity, costs range from $30 to $150 per hour. The variation is based on the size of the property, the scope of the landscaping which is needed on each visit, and the experience level of the landscaping company.
It is not worth the risk of not having an irrigation system because the rain is not consistent throughout the year. There are two choices, with the first being a drip irrigation system, which is a system suspended either next to the roots or above the soil. Drip irrigation typically utilizes less water and is better overall for the environment. However, drip irrigation is more costly than a sprinkler system. Depending upon the amount and frequency of rain, a sprinkler system may not be used as often.
Fall is the ideal time for overseeding in Seattle due to favorable precipitation and temperatures, which support good seed germination. Make sure to overseed at least a month before the first overnight frost to allow seeds to establish properly.
Deep, infrequent watering is recommended, aiming to moisten the whole root zone. Let the soil dry between waterings to prevent lawn disease and conserve water. Generally, watering deeply 1-2 times per week is sufficient, depending on weather conditions.
Consider your yard’s shade, activity level, and maintenance preferences. Cool-season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrasses, and fine fescues thrive in Seattle’s climate. Each has different maintenance needs and tolerances, so select one that aligns with your lawn conditions and care capacity.
Fall lawn care in Seattle should include overseeding to fill in thin areas, fertilizing in early and late fall to prepare for winter, regular mowing as grass may grow faster due to rain and lower temperatures, and cleaning up leaves to prevent disease.
There are a number of ways to control weeds in your lawn, including hand-pulling, using a weed killer, or applying a pre-emergent herbicide. The best method for you will depend on the type of weeds you have and the severity of the problem.
