Overview

Hardscaping Contractors Serving Arlington, Washington

Arlington homeowners are increasingly investing in outdoor living spaces — and for good reason. The Pacific Northwest's mild summers and beautiful natural surroundings make outdoor patios, pathways, and fire pits some of the most-used spaces in a home. New Life Rockeries has been designing and building hardscaped outdoor spaces in Arlington since 1975.

Our Arlington hardscaping work uses natural stone, quality concrete pavers, and premium materials selected for durability in the Pacific Northwest climate. We design spaces that integrate with your home's architecture and the natural character of your property.

Arlington, situated in Snohomish County, often features challenging soil conditions, including glacial till and clay soils. These dense, poorly draining soils, combined with the region's hilly topography, can lead to significant drainage issues and increased hydrostatic pressure behind retaining walls. Frost heave is also a concern due to the climate, necessitating robust wall designs to prevent structural damage.

Every hardscaping project we build in Arlington includes proper drainage engineering. Pacific Northwest rainfall means that drainage is not optional — it's essential for the longevity of any hardscaped surface. We design drainage into every project from the start.

Our crews have completed hundreds of hardscaping projects across King and Snohomish Counties. We're licensed, bonded, and insured in Washington State, and we never ask for payment until the job is done to your satisfaction.

The City of Arlington Building Division requires a permit for any retaining wall exceeding four feet in height, measured from the bottom of the footing to the top of the wall. A permit is also necessary for walls four feet or less if they support a surcharge, such as a driveway or structure.

A homeowner in the Cascade Ridge neighborhood recently faced erosion issues on a sloped backyard. Our team designed and installed a multi-tiered rockery system, effectively stabilizing the hillside and creating usable, level garden spaces. The project not only addressed the erosion but also enhanced the property's aesthetic appeal and functionality.
