The Al fresco Connection - Auburn's Trusted Landscapers

We address Auburn's frequent drainage and stormwater challenges right from the initial design phase. During our consultation, we assess your yard's grading and identify areas prone to standing water. Our designs often incorporate solutions like strategically graded patios, permeable walkways, or retaining walls that manage runoff effectively. For storm debris, we design resilient landscapes with appropriate plant placement and hardscape materials that are easier to clean and maintain after Pacific Northwest storms, helping your outdoor space stay beautiful and functional year-round.

We specialize exclusively in the design and planning stage. Our 17 years of experience are focused on creating detailed, customized master plans for your landscape, patio, walkways, irrigation, and other outdoor features. We believe this separation allows us to provide unbiased, client-focused designs. Once your plan is complete, we provide recommendations for skilled, local installation contractors we trust, and we offer Garden Coaching services to help guide you or your installer during the construction phase to ensure the design intent is realized.

Our consultation is a 60-90 minute meeting at your Auburn home. We'll walk your property together to discuss your goals, budget, and ideas for spaces like patios, retaining walls, or new planting areas. We'll note sun patterns, soil conditions, and any existing issues. This session is for information gathering and initial concept discussion. Following this, we develop a formal, cohesive design proposal that outlines a customized plan to transform your outdoor space, which you can then use with a contractor of your choice or one of our recommended installers.
