A family crew in Kent that builds yards across Greater Seattle

Most yards around here get handed off. Designer to contractor, then to whoever bid lowest. By the time somebody is actually digging, the drawing and the price have both drifted.

We draw it, we price it, we build it. No separate design fee. One phone number if something isn’t right.

We've worked that way since 2012. That's 14 years of watching what survives a Puget Sound winter and what doesn't. Here's what it taught us. Almost every hardscape failure in this region comes back to base prep or drainage. You can't see either one the day the job finishes.

We won’t skip the base to hit a number. When another bid comes in a lot cheaper on the same scope, the difference is usually excavation depth, compaction, or the drain rock behind a wall. You can’t inspect any of that once the job is done.

The photos on this site are our own jobs. No stock imagery. Nobody else’s yard.

We won’t quote a wall over 4 feet without engineering. Western Washington jurisdictions require it. The crews that build without it are why we get so much repair work.

We hold Washington contractor registration BLUELLS880K2, a $12,000 contractor bond, and $1,000,000 in general liability coverage. Check all of it yourself with the Department of Labor & Industries. Do it for us. Do it for whoever else is bidding your job.

Hire an unregistered contractor in Washington and there’s no bond to claim against and no lien protection. The lookup takes about thirty seconds. It’s the most useful thirty seconds you’ll spend before you sign anything.
