Tiny but terrific Capital Hill garden

Much of the 270 square feet of this townhouse garden is the patio.  We transformed the remainder into a seating area, a small dry stream bed and plants that look great all year.

Before, the patio was the only feature.

Now, the garden now is visually appealing and very easy to maintain.

Spring in Seattle

On a sunny spring day in Seattle, this flowering cherry is literally breathtaking.  The pink and white heather complement it perfectly.

Seattle curb appeal garden makeover

An attractive landscape makes a great first impression and helps sell a house. Here are  before and after pictures of a garden where we performed a curb appeal makeover.

 A huge camellia blocked the window and the path

The unobstructed window now lets in much more light
 
 The camellia blocked the path and did not make an attractive entrance

 New size appropriate plants and compost make a huge difference

 The rockery was full of weeds and dead foliage

The rockery now looks tidy and colorful from the street and our client is happy….

“It looks wonderful. We love it and we will definitely keep you in mind for our future home!”     -Jenny

Beautiful Seattle gardens in the winter

Pots are a  focal point near the house in the winter.

Emerging daffodils complement the red twig dogwood branch.

A dish rock reflects the winter sun.

Hellebores are one of the most popular and long blooming winter flowers.

Pots of daffodils are a charming sight on these weathered chairs.

This perfectly composed garden looks great throughout the year.

Solution for a soggy Seattle lawn

A soggy lawn by the tool shed was torn up by the wheels of the lawn mower.

Our design elminated that section of lawn and gave the space a clean modern appearance.
The pavers provide better access to the tool shed and create a focal point garden space waiting to be planted.

Modern garden for a modern Seattle house

The balcony of our client’s modern house overlooks their garden.
Before, the view of the old lawn was dismal.

The newly installed garden has a lawn and patio large enough for a small bench.

Before, this was an uninviting space.

A stone planter defines the end of the crescent shaped lawn which was designed, along with the patio, to be viewed from above.

Peaceful winter garden on Mercer Island

In the middle of winter when many gardens are brown and lifeless, it’s nice to see a garden  full of color, texture and life.

The pink flowers of the hellebore and daphne are a perfect match.

A purple bench is unexpected in this woodland setting.

The mossy basin rock attracts birds and is a winter focal point.

Mahonia is a great structural plant and the yellow blooms are a winter bonus.

Evergreen ferns, grasses and hellebores brighten the gray winter days.
