Full-Service Landscape Design & Contracting in Kirkland, Washington
Kirkland properties offer some of the most rewarding landscape design opportunities in the Pacific Northwest. The combination of Lake Washington views, mature Douglas firs and cedars, rolling terrain, and a client base that values quality outdoor living creates ideal conditions for ambitious landscape design work. New Life Rockeries has been designing and building complete outdoor living spaces in Kirkland since 1975, and our portfolio includes projects throughout the city — from modest garden renovations in Totem Lake to complete property transformations on the lakefront.
Our Kirkland landscape design process starts with understanding how you want to use your outdoor space. Do you want a place to entertain? A kitchen garden? A play area for children? A quiet retreat? A space that showcases the Lake Washington view? These goals drive every design decision, from the placement of outdoor living areas to the selection of plants and materials. We listen carefully before we design.
Kirkland's terrain typically requires integrating retaining walls or rockeries into the landscape design. Many Kirkland properties have 10 to 30 feet of grade change across the lot, and creating usable outdoor spaces on these sites requires terracing — which means retaining walls. We design and build all of these elements in-house, which means the retaining walls, rockeries, patios, pathways, drainage systems, and planting are all engineered to work together as a single system.
We're familiar with Kirkland's permit requirements for landscape projects, including the additional shoreline review required for properties near Lake Washington. We manage all permit applications on your behalf and have established relationships with Kirkland's planning and building departments that help keep projects moving.
