Full-Service Landscape Design & Contracting in Mukilteo, Washington

Mukilteo homeowners trust New Life Rockeries for complete outdoor living transformations. We design, permit, and build every element of your outdoor space — from garden design and planting to patios, retaining walls, rockeries, and drainage systems — all under one contract with one team.

Our Mukilteo landscape design projects begin with a thorough site assessment. We evaluate your property's topography, soil conditions, drainage patterns, and how you intend to use the space. From that assessment, we develop a design that solves real problems and creates lasting value — not just a pretty rendering that ignores site realities.

Mukilteo's topography is significantly influenced by its coastal bluffs and proximity to Puget Sound, leading to areas with steep slope inclinations and geologic sensitive area regulations. The underlying geology often includes soil types susceptible to erosion and landslide potential, particularly along the waterfront. These conditions necessitate robust retaining wall solutions to manage soil stability and prevent erosion.

With 50 years of experience building across the greater Seattle area, we understand the specific challenges of Mukilteo properties — Pacific Northwest soils, significant rainfall, and the steep terrain that defines so many local lots. Our designs are grounded in that knowledge and built to perform for decades.

Our crews have completed hundreds of landscape design and contracting 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 Mukilteo Building Department requires a building permit for retaining walls exceeding four feet in height, measured from the bottom of the footing to the top of the wall, or any wall supporting a surcharge. Property owners should consult with the department for specific requirements.

A homeowner in the Harbour Pointe neighborhood of Mukilteo recently faced significant erosion on their sloped backyard, threatening their property line. We designed and installed a multi-tiered retaining wall system, incorporating drainage solutions, which not only stabilized the hillside but also created usable terraced garden spaces.
