Frequently Asked Questions

Can a new retaining wall help with my overgrown, sloping Seattle yard?

Absolutely. An overgrown, sloped yard is a common issue here. A properly engineered retaining wall from Montoya General Contractor does more than just hold back soil. It creates usable, level spaces for patios, walkways, or planting beds, eliminates erosion that can damage foundations, and provides a clear, manageable boundary that makes maintaining shrubs and plants much easier. We design walls that are both functional and enhance your outdoor living space.

My irrigation system keeps failing. Can hardscaping reduce my watering needs?

Yes, and it's a smart solution for our area. Irrigation timer failures are frequent and can waste water or harm your landscape. By installing a new patio, terrace, or permeable driveway with us, you replace high-maintenance lawn areas with beautiful, low-maintenance hardscapes. We also incorporate strategic walkways and use quality materials that manage rainwater runoff effectively. This reduces your dependency on finicky irrigation systems for large portions of your property, saving water and hassle.

We need more space. Can a building addition affect our existing landscaping?

It certainly can, and planning for it is key. At Montoya General Contractor, we view additions and landscaping as one integrated project. When constructing your addition, we assess how it will impact drainage, sun exposure, and existing plants. We can then design and install new landscape construction—like drainage solutions, replacement planting beds, or a new patio off the new room—to ensure the entire property functions harmoniously. This prevents issues like new water runoff contributing to overgrowth or foundation problems.
