"Great job! Plants look excellent- vibrant."

Bright Water School
The BWS site in Capitol Hill is a Waldorf School where children can learn to appreciate playing outside in all kinds of weather. Here we built an outdoor 'compass rose' patio with accenting seat-boulders. The rose points are infilled with old ceramic bric-a-brac. We also created a raised planter garden beds in Mutual materials 'Tuscan Stone'. We planted colorful & edible plants throughout and designed two naturalistic timber log play structures with a subcontractor. We also placed a large granite sphere at the drive entry and, in a surprise move - placed a heavy piece of sandblasted cedar rootwad, (nicknamed 'Rudy', after Rudolph Steiner - the school's founder) and painted it a bright, sunny yellow. Voila! Instant sunshine!
Services Provided:
- Accent Rocks
We do a lot of work in rock, from small boulders to river cobble, flagstone, and large boulders. Set by our experienced crews by hand or with a large trackhoe, rocks typically installed are local basalt and granite.
With many other styles, shapes, colors and textures to choose from, we'll make it easy for you to sort through the types and sizes of rock available. - Flagstone
You can choose from a wide variety of flat stone paving or flagstone.
We most often use Montana slate, but also work frequently with flat granite, Wilkinson stone, tumbled slate, and a host of other types.
Usually set in a crushed rock base covered with compacted sand, the stone can also be mortared, custom cut, and fit against other styles of paving for a more eccentric look. - Garden Structures
A myriad of garden structures can be created for you, from gazebos and storage structures to sport courts, arbors, and fences with gates. We can also show you portfolios and manufacturer catalogs of a range of other outdoor structures and accents when you visit our Redmond sample library.
- Patios
We do a lot of patios. Keep in mind that you may need a slightly bigger space than you think to set a four-person table where you can still move your chair back without stepping onto the adjacent lawn or bed area.
First you determine the shape and then you choose the materials. We'll give you a catalog showing stone selections as well as other types of paving to help you choose. You can also visit our sample library in Redmond for more information.
Add pots and a few Adirondack chairs and...well, suffice it to say that we have to look at the size carefully. - Planting Beds
Planting is what you think of when you think of landscaping, and nobody does it better than we do. We bring perennials that recur every year, beefy, robust evergreen plants that last all year, and fabulously colorful deciduous shrubs and trees as accents. We have acres of plants to choose from and a uniquely flexible way of working that allows you to "see the plants before you start."
As one of the largest purveyors of Cedar Grove compost in the county, we also rototill or hand-turn your bedsand fertilize all of your new plantings. Best of all, we guarantee it all for one year and offer you a discount card when the dust has settled to shop at the Nursery. - Rock Steps
These simple rock steps, made up of fitted small boulders, are one of the longest-lasting and most cost-effective ways to make steps. We can also make them from flagstone and other types of rock.
- Walkways
Creating a pathway through a native area or simply from the garage to the rear patio enables you to fully access your property.
It can also create a distinctive and low-maintenance transition between beds and lawn areas.
Constructed of crushed rock, flagstone, pavers, concrete or wood, pathways are one of the most common installations for our experienced crews. - Garden art
