FAQs
How do you handle yard drainage problems common in Seattle?
Seattle's wet climate often leads to drainage issues and soil compaction. We address this by first assessing your yard's specific grading and soil composition. Our solutions can include designing and installing French drains, creating permeable patios and walkways, and using strategic plantings of native, water-tolerant species to absorb excess moisture. For compacted soil, we employ techniques like core aeration and amending the soil to improve health and drainage, forming a solid foundation for your new landscape.
What does your 'plant first' design approach involve?
Our 'plant first' approach means the ecological role and health of the plants guide our design decisions from the start. We prioritize using native species that are adapted to Seattle's climate, which supports local wildlife like birds and pollinators and requires less water. Before finalizing hardscape elements like a patio or retaining wall, we plan the garden layout to ensure the plants have the right conditions to thrive, creating a resilient and sustainable outdoor space that is both beautiful and functional.
Do you handle both the design and construction of a project?
Yes, we provide complete design and construction services. Our process begins with a custom landscape design that integrates your vision with our sustainable practices. From there, our skilled construction team handles the installation, whether it's a new patio, irrigation system, retaining walls, or the planting itself. This integrated approach ensures the final build accurately reflects the design intent, with seamless coordination and a single point of contact for the entire project.
