Life around the lake means sloped lots, terraced yards and views worth framing. Retaining walls, drainage, patios and lawn care from a crew that builds for hills — twenty minutes away.
Very little in Lake Stevens is flat. The neighborhoods rise off the water in tiers, which makes for great views and interesting yards — sloped backyards that shed water toward the house, lawns that are hard to mow, and hillsides that want to move a little more every winter.
That's retaining-wall and terracing country, and it's some of our favorite work. A properly engineered wall — compacted footing, drain rock and pipe behind every course — turns a slope you look at into flat ground you live on: a lawn tier, a patio tier, a garden tier.
Engineered block and boulder walls — the signature Lake Stevens project, drainage included by default.

Review us on GoogleAlways — free-draining rock and a perforated pipe behind every wall. Around Lake Stevens, a wall without drainage is a wall on a countdown.
That's the classic project here: one or two walls, stairs between levels, and suddenly the yard is three usable rooms instead of one steep bank.
Walls over four feet (or supporting a surcharge) typically need engineering and permits. We'll tell you honestly at the estimate and handle the design accordingly.
