Drought-Tolerant Landscaping in Seattle, WA
Smart, Sustainable, and Still Stunning
Hey there! Mr. Lee here. If you’re looking to cut back on your water bill but still want a yard that turns heads, drought-tolerant landscaping might just be your best friend. We build low-maintenance, water-wise landscapes that don’t just survive our dry summers — they thrive.
We’ll help you create an outdoor space that’s tough, beautiful, and easy to take care of — no daily watering, no constant mowing, and no wasted resources. Just smart design that works with nature, not against it.
Why Go Drought-Tolerant?
You don’t need a thirsty lawn or delicate plants to have a beautiful yard. With the right planning, you can have a space that’s:
- Low-maintenance
- Budget-friendly
- Eco-conscious
- And still absolutely gorgeous
What We Do: Our Drought-Tolerant Services
Here’s how we help Seattle homeowners and property managers get the most out of their landscapes — with less water and less hassle.
Native & Drought-Tolerant Plant Selection
We hand-pick hardy plants that love our climate and don’t need a ton of water. Think ornamental grasses, lavender, sedum, manzanita, native wildflowers — plants that do great with minimal fuss.
Water-Wise Design & Xeriscaping
We design your yard so every plant, rock, and path makes sense. We group plants by water needs, use mulch where it matters, and plan out your space for maximum impact with minimal waste.
Soil Prep & Amendments
We improve your soil so it holds water better — using compost, organic matter, and smart grading. Better soil means less watering and healthier plants.
Mulching & Hardscaping
We lay down mulch to lock in moisture and reduce weeds. Want less lawn? We can swap it out for gravel, flagstone, or bark pathways that look great and use zero water.
Efficient Irrigation Systems
We’ll install or upgrade your system to drip irrigation or low-volume sprinklers that put water right at the roots — no runoff, no overspray, no wasted water.
