Full-Service Landscape Design & Contracting in Lynnwood, Washington
Lynnwood is a city in transition — the opening of the Lynnwood Link light rail extension has accelerated redevelopment around the Lynnwood City Center station, and homeowners throughout the city are investing in their properties in anticipation of rising values. At the same time, Lynnwood's established neighborhoods — the hillside areas along Scriber Creek, the properties backing up to Lynnwood Golf Course, and the quiet streets of the Alderwood neighborhood — have a mature, settled character that rewards thoughtful landscape investment. New Life Rockeries has been designing and building complete outdoor living spaces in Lynnwood since 1975, and our portfolio reflects the full range of the city's neighborhoods and property types.
Lynnwood's terrain is more varied than it appears from the main commercial corridors. The Scriber Creek ravine system cuts through the city's residential neighborhoods, creating steep hillside properties with significant grade changes that require retaining walls, rockeries, and carefully engineered drainage systems. Properties backing up to the Scriber Creek greenbelt have unique design opportunities — the natural vegetation and wildlife corridor create a beautiful backdrop for outdoor living spaces that connect the built environment to the natural landscape.
The plant palette for Lynnwood landscapes is shaped by the city's position in the Puget Sound lowlands. Red alder, big-leaf maple, and Western red cedar are the dominant native trees, and the understory is rich with sword fern, salal, red-twig dogwood, and native currants. We use these native species as the foundation of our Lynnwood planting designs, supplementing with ornamentals selected for year-round interest, appropriate scale, and compatibility with the Pacific Northwest climate. For properties near the Scriber Creek greenbelt, we favor species that support the wildlife corridor — berry-producing shrubs, native grasses, and plants that provide cover and food for birds.
Every Lynnwood landscape design we deliver integrates all elements of the outdoor space — retaining walls, rockeries, patios, pathways, drainage, and planting — into a single coordinated plan built under one contract. This matters in Lynnwood because the city's steep slope regulations, drainage requirements, and the Scriber Creek critical area buffers all affect what can be built where. We navigate these constraints during the design phase, not after the work has started.
