Four gardens, start to finish

Each started with a problem: water, shade, a slope or a hidden view. Sample projects; the photographs are stand-ins for the studio's own.

A covered wooden terrace with built-in benches around a stone fire box

Sample project, Kirkland

The covered fire terrace

A deck nobody used after September.

The terrace is used October to March. The fire is on most weekend evenings, and the steps down to the garden are lit for the first time.

Terraced stone walls planted with autumn colour on a slope

Sample project, Medina

The draining slope

Every storm ran across the terrace.

The terrace stays dry through winter storms, the slope is a series of usable beds, and there is a path to the bottom of the garden.

Ferns and moss along a small stream in a shaded woodland

Sample project, Sammamish

The woodland edge

A lawn that never grew under the firs.

No more reseeding. The garden is green all year, the creek carries water in winter, and the path stays clean.

A terrace with woven chairs overlooking a lake at sunset

Sample project, Mercer Island

The lake terrace

A view hidden behind a laurel hedge.

The lake is back in view from the kitchen, there is a terrace for long dinners, and the garden holds its shape through winter.
