Wildcraft Gardens - Seattle's Experienced Landscaping

Absolutely. Often, plant health issues are tied to poor drainage or soil compaction. When we construct a patio, walkway, or retaining wall, we first address the underlying land grading and drainage. This prevents water from pooling around your plants' roots (a common cause of rot) and ensures proper water flow. A well-designed hardscape can actually improve the growing conditions for your remaining lawn and garden beds by solving these foundational problems.

Great question. Maintenance (like mowing and pruning) cares for an existing landscape. Our construction services—building retaining walls, patios, or even interior/exterior walls for outdoor living spaces—create or fundamentally reshape the landscape itself. For persistent issues like patchy grass, sometimes the solution isn't more feeding, but rebuilding the area with better soil and proper grading during a landscape installation. We diagnose whether the issue needs care or a structural fix.

Yes, that's our specialty. Many Seattle yards have slopes that cause erosion and drainage issues, leading to unhealthy plants. We can design and build a retaining wall to create stable, level planting areas, then install appropriate, hardy plants that will thrive in the new conditions. As a full-service firm, we manage the entire project from the structural build-out to the final planting, ensuring a cohesive and lasting solution.
