Homeowners in Seattle understand that our unique climate demands specific landscape solutions. The interplay between the wet winters and dry summers requires a landscape that is resilient and adaptable. High-end residential properties, in particular, need to balance aesthetic appeal with practical durability. We provide the specialized services needed to achieve this balance through expert construction and water management.
When planning a landscape renovation, hardscaping is often the first consideration. It sets the tone for the entire project and determines how the space will be used. From the driveway to the back patio, the materials you choose must withstand moss, rain, and freeze-thaw cycles. We guide you through selecting the best stone, brick, and pavers for our local environment.
A well-executed hardscape project adds immediate curb appeal and sophistication to any home. It creates a sense of permanence and order that soft plantings alone cannot achieve. We design entranceways that welcome guests with elegance and style. Our team pays close attention to patterns, colors, and textures to complement your home's facade.
In the backyard, hardscaping creates the framework for your outdoor lifestyle. A beautiful flagstone patio or a structured fire pit area invites you to spend more time outside. We believe that these features should look as if they have always been there. We integrate them seamlessly into the natural landscape for a timeless look.
Sloped yards are a common challenge in our region, but they also offer design opportunities. Retaining walls allow us to terrace the land, creating flat, usable areas for lawns or gardens. We build walls that are not only structural necessities but also beautiful design elements. We use natural stone or architectural blocks to create walls that enhance the overall look of the yard.
Proper engineering is critical for any hardscaping project involving earth retention. We ensure that every wall has adequate drainage to prevent water pressure from building up behind it. This attention to technical detail prevents failure and ensures safety. We build structures that you can trust to last for decades.
Connecting different areas of your landscape with clear paths encourages exploration and enjoyment. We design walkways that are safe, functional, and visually appealing. Whether you prefer a formal brick path or a casual stepping-stone route, we can install it. We consider the flow of foot traffic to create logical and convenient connections.
Our hardscaping services include maintaining and restoring existing paths. We can repair uneven pavers, clean off moss, and reseal surfaces to make them look new again. Safety is a top priority, and we ensure that all walking surfaces are slip-resistant. We keep your property safe and accessible year-round.
The choice of material has a huge impact on the longevity and look of your hardscape. We recommend materials that are locally sourced and suited to the Pacific Northwest weather. Permeable pavers are an excellent option for managing rainwater and reducing runoff. We help you make choices that are both beautiful and environmentally responsible.
We also consider the maintenance requirements of different hardscaping materials. Some stones require regular sealing, while others weather naturally with little care. We educate you on the pros and cons of each option so you can make an informed decision. We want you to be happy with your landscape for the long haul.
Once the hardscape is in place, the focus shifts to the health of your plants. A robust irrigation system is the life insurance policy for your garden. It ensures that your expensive plantings survive the summer drought without stress. We design systems that deliver the right amount of water at the right time.
Our irrigation services start with a comprehensive assessment of your water pressure and landscape needs. We calculate the flow rates required to cover your lawn and garden beds effectively. We then design a system layout that guarantees 100% coverage without waste. We use high-quality components that are built to withstand daily use.
Water is a precious resource, and we are committed to using it wisely. Modern irrigation technology allows us to be incredibly efficient. We install smart controllers that automatically adjust watering based on local weather conditions. If rain is forecast, the system waits; if a heatwave hits, it adjusts accordingly.
Our irrigation services also include the use of high-efficiency nozzles and rotors. These devices produce larger water droplets that are less likely to blow away in the wind. They deliver water more slowly, allowing it to soak into the soil rather than running off. This saves water and promotes deeper, healthier root growth.
Like any mechanical system, an irrigation setup needs regular maintenance to perform its best. We offer seasonal service packages that include spring start-ups and fall shutdowns. During the start-up, we check every head and valve to ensure they are working correctly. We adjust the spray patterns to keep water off your hardscapes and buildings.
In the fall, our irrigation services focus on protecting the system from freezing temperatures. We use compressed air to purge all water from the lines, preventing pipes from bursting. This simple service can save you thousands of dollars in repairs. We help you protect your investment through proactive care.
Even the best systems can encounter problems over time. Roots can pinch pipes, and lawnmowers can damage sprinkler heads. We have a team of skilled technicians ready to troubleshoot and repair any issue. We locate leaks quickly to minimize water loss and damage to your landscape.
Our irrigation services are responsive and reliable. We understand that a broken system in the middle of July is an emergency for your garden. We make it a priority to get your system back up and running as fast as possible. You can count on us to keep your landscape green.
