What In Harmony Sustainable Landscapes does

In Harmony Sustainable Landscapes is a privately held landscape services company founded in 1994 and headquartered in Bothell, Washington, operating in the Seattle and Puget Sound region. The company designs, installs, and maintains residential landscapes using a 100% natural, all-organic methodology. Core services fall into three categories: project-based sustainable landscape design and installation (including rain gardens, drought-tolerant plantings, bee-friendly lawns, and on-site material reuse); recurring natural lawn, tree, and shrub care visits delivered multiple times per year under multi-year contracts; and specialized natural pruning and fertilization. Service delivery is supported by an in-house team of landscape designers, installation crews, and service technicians trained in integrated pest management and soil-building practices. The firm is a licensed, bonded, and insured Washington contractor (license # INHARS*973PC).

The business operates a direct-to-consumer model with no disclosed pricing; customers request free estimates via the company website, email, or phone. The customer base is concentrated in environmentally conscious residential homeowners in the Puget Sound region, with documented relationships lasting 25+ years. Marketing is heavily content-led, leveraging an extensive educational blog (700+ posts since 2015), a YouTube channel, email newsletter, garden tour participation, and presence on Houzz and Angie's List. The company maintains a co-ownership structure with co-owner Ladd Smith (with the company since 1994) and is operated independently with no venture capital or institutional investment recorded.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Bartlett Tree Experts: Established tree and shrub care specialist serving residential and commercial clients with pruning, plant health care, and integrated pest management. Comparable in service methodology (science-based, organic-leaning IPM) and customer overlap, but with national footprint and arborist depth.
• SavATree: National tree, shrub, and lawn care company offering integrated pest management and organic treatment programs for residential properties. Directly comparable to In Harmony's natural lawn/tree/shrub care model but operates at significantly greater geographic scale and headcount.
• Davey Tree Expert Company: Large residential and commercial tree-care and landscape services firm offering organic treatment options alongside traditional care. Comparable service mix including pruning, plant healthcare, and sustainable landscape management, though substantially larger and broader in scope.

Broad incumbents

• BrightView Landscapes: National landscape services company serving residential and commercial clients with design, installation, and maintenance. Comparable service lines but heavily commercial-weighted; provides scale-based competition for any expansion In Harmony contemplates.
• The Grounds Guys: Franchised residential and commercial landscape maintenance provider with sustainability-leaning programs. Comparable residential maintenance offering though less specialized in organic methodology than In Harmony.
• TruGreen: Largest U.S. lawn care company offering fertilization, weed/pest control, and increasingly organic/natural programs. Overlaps with In Harmony on residential lawn care but is mass-market rather than sustainability-focused; competitive threat as it expands natural offerings.

Others

• Swanson's Nursery: Seattle-area retail nursery referenced by In Harmony as a watering/plant resource. Adjacent ecosystem participant rather than direct competitor; useful as a referral and education partner channel.
• Plant Amnesty: Pacific Northwest nonprofit promoting proper pruning and sustainable gardening practices. Community partner for In Harmony (Tree Hugger Bingo events); adjacent ecosystem that amplifies brand reach among environmentally-conscious gardeners.

Regional players

• Pacific Landscape Management: Pacific Northwest-based landscape management company serving residential and commercial clients in Oregon and Washington. Geographic and service overlap with In Harmony in the PNW market.
• Northwest Native Landscapes: Pacific Northwest landscape firm specializing in native plants and ecological design for residential clients. Directly comparable on sustainability ethos, pollinator-friendly planting, and regional climate-appropriate design.
