Garden design and native planting
Planting plans built around what grows here: ferns and vine maple in the shade, currant and camas in the sun, and enough evergreen structure that the garden still reads in February.
What we design and build
Residential gardens on the Eastside. Most projects combine two or three of these; the design brings them into one plan.
Patios, terraces and stone walls
Stone and concrete paving laid on a proper base, retaining walls that hold a slope, and steps that make a hillside lot usable. Built to last the wet.
Outdoor kitchens and fire
A covered terrace with a fire feature turns a summer-only yard into somewhere you sit in October. Kitchens, fire pits, fireplaces and roofs, designed with the planting around them.
Landscape lighting
Low-voltage lighting for paths, steps, trees and terraces, set on timers and zones so the garden is something you see from the house in the dark months.
Drainage and sloped lots
Water that pools by the house, a lawn that turns to mud, a hillside you cannot use. We read where the water goes and design the garden to carry it, often with a rain garden or dry creek you would want anyway.
Request a design consultation
If your garden only looks right in June, write to us. Request a design consultation and we will walk the lot with you, look at the slope and the light, and talk budget plainly. Or call the studio on (425) 555-0148.
We reply within two business days, and text back within minutes of a missed call. Mon to Fri, 8:00 to 5:00. Site visits Saturday by appointment.
