Questions and Answers
How does your company handle common Seattle issues like standing water in a yard?
Standing water is a frequent challenge in our climate. We address it by first assessing your yard's grading and drainage. Our solutions often include strategic earthmoving or regrading to direct water flow, installing proper drainage systems, and using permeable materials in hardscape projects like patios and walkways. This approach not only solves the immediate problem but also protects your landscape's health and foundation long-term, aligning with our sustainable practices.
What does it mean that you are Rain Bird certified irrigation specialists?
Our Rain Bird certification means our team has specialized training in efficient irrigation design, installation, and repair. For Seattle residents, this translates to smart water management. We design systems that adjust to our local weather patterns, using technology to prevent overwatering, reduce runoff into our lakes and inlets, and ensure your plants get exactly what they need. This expertise is part of our commitment to conservation and creating resilient landscapes.
Can you handle both the design and construction of a project, like a custom patio with retaining walls?
Yes, we provide integrated design and construction services. From the initial landscape design for your patio, terrace, or retaining walls, through to the final construction or installation, our team manages the entire process. This seamless approach, backed by over 15 years of hands-on experience, ensures the vision for your functional and aesthetically pleasing outdoor space is realized efficiently and with the sustainable materials and methods we specialize in.
