Looking to reimagine your outdoor space? Our Bonney Lake landscape design services combine creativity, functionality, and 38+ years of local experience to help you create a yard that’s beautiful, practical, and built to last. Whether you’re planning a front yard refresh, a full backyard renovation, or a complete design-build project — we’ll bring your vision to life with care and expertise.
A well-designed landscape doesn’t just look beautiful — it works with your space, your lifestyle, and your surroundings. Whether you’re starting with a blank slate or looking to overhaul an outdated yard, our team creates outdoor environments that are functional, low-maintenance, and tailored to Bonney Lake’s unique conditions.
At C & R Landscape Services, we’ve been designing and installing custom landscapes across Bonney Lake for over 38 years. From planting plans and patios to full 3D designs, we help homeowners bring their vision to life — one detail at a time.
Landscape design is the planning, layout, and styling of outdoor living areas — including lawns, gardens, walkways, retaining walls, plantings, patios, and more. It balances form and function, turning open space into a place to relax, entertain, and enjoy.
Good design accounts for:
Sun and shade patterns
Soil conditions
Elevation and drainage
Plant hardiness zones
Lifestyle needs (pets, kids, entertaining)
Long-term maintenance
In Bonney Lake, with its sloped lots, dense trees, and mix of clay and loamy soils, a thoughtful design makes the difference between a yard that thrives and one that struggles.
We tailor every design to the client and the property — no pre-packaged layouts or generic templates.
We walk your property, ask questions about how you use the space, assess sunlight, soil, slopes, and water flow, and take detailed notes.
We develop a custom layout, including all requested features (like garden beds, lawn areas, retaining walls, or pathways). This may include:
2D plan views
3D renderings (optional)
Material selection
Planting recommendations
We review the design with you, walk through options, and make revisions based on your feedback.
Once approved, we finalize the design, provide a full written estimate, and schedule installation if desired.
Designs are custom, but may include:
Lawn areas (sod or seed)
Planting beds with native or ornamental plants
Privacy screening with shrubs or trees
Patio or deck layout
Walkways and stepping stone paths
Retaining walls for slope control
Water features (ponds, bubblers, stream beds)
Outdoor lighting layout
Irrigation and drainage planning
Firepit, seating areas, or pergola layout
We help you design a yard that not only looks amazing, but is also practical for watering, maintenance, and usage throughout all seasons.
Bonney Lake’s environment adds several design challenges — and opportunities:
Sloped yards are common, requiring retaining walls or tiered garden beds
Clay-heavy soil affects drainage, planting depth, and lawn success
Tree-heavy lots create shade patterns and root systems that must be worked around
Lake proximity can affect moisture levels, runoff control, and plant selection
Local microclimates make some areas windier, wetter, or sunnier than others
Our designs take all of this into account so you’re not just getting a “pretty sketch” — you’re getting a landscape that works.
Every homeowner has a different vision. We design in a variety of styles, including:
Northwest native (low-maintenance, drought-tolerant, eco-friendly)
Modern minimalist (clean lines, grasses, and rock features)
Traditional American (lawns, hedges, and seasonal flowers)
Japanese-inspired (natural materials, water, and calming lines)
Pollinator-friendly or edible gardens
Don’t have a vision yet? We’ll walk you through inspiration photos, material samples, and layout options until something clicks.
Unlike design-only firms, we also build what we design. That means:
No miscommunication between designer and contractor
One point of contact throughout
Clear pricing from design to install
Accountability and continuity
Already working with another installer or DIYing? No problem — we’re happy to provide design-only services as well.
