Full-Service Landscape Design & Contracting in Everett, Washington
Everett occupies a dramatic position on the Puget Sound shoreline — the city's bluff neighborhoods step down from the upland plateau to the waterfront in a series of steep slopes and ravines, and many residential properties command sweeping views of the Sound, the Olympic Mountains, and the Port of Everett marina. This topography creates both extraordinary opportunities and real engineering challenges for landscape design. New Life Rockeries has been designing and building complete outdoor living spaces in Everett since 1975, working on everything from modest garden renovations in the Rucker Hill neighborhood to complete property transformations on the bluffs above the waterfront.
Everett's geologically hazardous area regulations — which cover significant portions of the bluff neighborhoods including the areas above Mukilteo Boulevard and the slopes below Rucker Avenue — restrict what can be built in steep slope zones, but they don't have to limit the quality of your outdoor space. We design within these constraints by placing structures and hardscaping outside restricted zones, using native plantings within hazardous areas that stabilize slopes while providing natural character, and creating seamless transitions between developed and natural areas.
The plant palette for Everett landscapes is shaped by the city's marine climate and its proximity to Puget Sound. Shore pine, Sitka spruce, red alder, and Pacific wax myrtle are all native to Everett's coastal environment and thrive with minimal care. For bluff properties, we favor wind-tolerant species that won't block views as they mature — ornamental grasses, low-growing conifers, and spreading groundcovers that provide year-round interest without obscuring the Sound. For sheltered garden areas, we expand the palette to include Japanese maples, rhododendrons, and the full range of Pacific Northwest ornamentals.
Our Everett landscape projects are designed as integrated systems — retaining walls, rockeries, patios, drainage, and planting all engineered together under a single contract. This is especially important on Everett's hillside properties, where a drainage system that serves the rockery must also protect the patio below it, and where the planting plan must account for the structural role of vegetation on steep slopes. We don't design in isolation; every element of the outdoor space is considered in relation to every other element.
