Meet the Team
Salmon Bay Landscaping is a Seattle-based company with deep roots in the community, founded in 2005. Named after the local bay near the Ballard Locks—a place where owner Brad spent time fishing and where his grandparents lived—the business is built on a genuine connection to the area. Our focus is on designing and building landscapes that fit your lifestyle and budget. We specialize in creating durable and beautiful patios, retaining walls, and driveways, complemented by thoughtful planting designs, sprinkler systems, and outdoor lighting. Serving Seattle, WA and the surrounding communities, we combine professional expertise with a local's understanding of the Pacific Northwest environment to transform your outdoor space.
Questions and Answers
What is your process for designing and building a new patio in Seattle?
Our process begins with a consultation to understand your vision, lifestyle, and budget. We then create a custom design that considers Seattle's specific climate and your property's layout. For construction, we handle everything from excavation and proper base preparation—crucial for our wet winters—to the installation of pavers or concrete and final planting. We ensure proper drainage and can integrate features like outdoor lighting or adjoining walkways for a cohesive, long-lasting outdoor living area.
Can you help with common Seattle issues like tree root damage and weedy mulch beds?
Absolutely. For lawns damaged by surface tree roots, we offer solutions like regrading and re-sodding with appropriate grass types, or we can design a creative alternative such as a shade-tolerant ground cover or a decorative mulch and stepping stone pathway that works with the roots. To combat weeds in mulch beds, we use quality weed barrier fabric during installation and recommend a maintenance plan that includes periodic weeding, refreshing mulch layers, and using pre-emergent treatments to prevent new weeds from taking hold.
Do you handle both the hardscaping and planting for a full landscape renovation?
Yes, we provide complete turnkey services. From the initial construction of patios, retaining walls, and driveways to the final planting design and installation, we manage the entire project. This includes selecting shrubs and plants suited for the Pacific Northwest, proper planting, and establishing care routines for pruning, disease, and insect management. We also install supporting systems like sprinklers and lighting, ensuring every element of your new landscape is professionally integrated and built to last.
