Every yard is different. We design for your property’s terrain, your daily routine, and the outdoor environment you want to create.
Outdoor Gathering Areas – Patios, fire pits, and conversation spaces built for PNW living
Walkways & Flow Design – Natural pathways that improve usability and tie areas together
Water Features – Fountains, pondless waterfalls, and custom elements that add ambiance
Low-Maintenance Planting Plans – Native and climate-suited plants that thrive in Lake Stevens’ rainy winters and dry summers
Privacy Screening & Borders – Trees, hedges, or hardscape solutions that create calm and separation
Outdoor Lighting Design – Highlight focal points, improve nighttime safety, and create a mood
Sloped Yard Solutions – Retaining walls, tiered gardens, or erosion control for hillside lots
Lake Stevens presents a variety of site conditions that we take into account with every design. Many properties have moderate slopes, shaded zones, and high moisture soil, which means we often incorporate features like French drains, erosion control, or terraced planting beds to manage runoff and maximize space.
The Pacific Northwest climate also allows for lush, green designs — but we always balance beauty with practicality, especially in low-light or heavily wooded yards. Whether you’re near the lake itself or in a newer residential development, we match your yard to the environment.
To get the best results, timing matters. Here’s what we recommend:
Spring: Ideal for fresh designs, lawn installation, and planting
Summer: Great for hardscape builds like patios, walkways, or walls
Fall: Best for prepping beds, mulching, and finalizing designs for spring install
Winter: A good time to plan ahead and get designs locked in for the next season
Starting your landscape design during the off-season ensures faster timelines and better scheduling flexibility.
Every yard has its quirks — and our team is experienced in identifying and solving design obstacles that are common in Lake Stevens.
Drainage & Soggy Lawns – Many Lake Stevens yards experience standing water due to clay-rich soils and frequent rain. We design with proper grading, French drains, and permeable hardscapes to keep your yard dry and usable.
Limited Sunlight – Shaded lots can make traditional lawn care tough. We incorporate shade-tolerant plants, moss-friendly zones, or turf alternatives to ensure success.
Narrow or Sloped Spaces – Small or uneven yards can still shine with the right layout. We use vertical design, terracing, or compact features to maximize usable space.
Lack of Privacy – We can integrate natural screening, fences, and smart layout choices to create separation from neighbors — without sacrificing beauty.
If your yard has been frustrating to maintain or feels underutilized, our custom designs can unlock its full potential.
