Landscaping in Lake Stevens, done the local way

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.

What Lake Stevens yards deal with

Slopes that shed water. Hillside lots send winter runoff somewhere. We make sure that somewhere isn't your foundation, with grading and drains that work with the hill.
Terraces beat banks. A mowable bank steeper than 3:1 is a chore; a terraced wall is usable ground. Most sloped yards here are one good wall away from doubling their flat space.
View-first design. Plantings and structures get planned around sightlines to the water — frame the view, never block it.

Lake Stevens Questions

Asked around here

Do your retaining walls include drainage?+

Always — free-draining rock and a perforated pipe behind every wall. Around Lake Stevens, a wall without drainage is a wall on a countdown.

Can you terrace a steep backyard?+

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.

Do tall walls need permits?+

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.
