Landscaping Snohomish WA | Call Borealis Landscape & Design

Our design process starts by diagnosing the source of your drainage issue, whether it's soil composition, slope, or downspout runoff. We then create a custom plan that may include strategic grading, dry creek beds, French drains, or permeable paving. This redirects water away from your home's foundation and low-lying areas, transforming a soggy, problematic yard into a functional and beautiful landscape suited for our local climate.

Absolutely. For properties with mature trees in Snohomish, we design landscapes that work with the existing root systems. Solutions can include creating defined tree well areas with mulch or ground covers, installing root barriers during the design phase for new plantings, or designing hardscape features and patios that accommodate roots without causing damage. This protects your trees' health while giving you a usable, attractive lawn space.

Our process is collaborative and thorough. We begin with an on-site consultation to understand your vision and assess your property's specific challenges, like drainage or soil issues. Next, we develop a master plan that includes layout, plant selections suited to our region, and material recommendations. We provide detailed drawings and work with you to refine the design, ensuring the final plan is both aesthetically pleasing and practically solves the unique problems of your Snohomish yard.
