Testimonials

We are so impressed by New Life Rockeries! We’ve worked with a LOT of different contractors over the past few years trying to turn a fixer upper into our home and NLR is easily the best company we’ve worked with. Alonso and his team aren’t just hardworking and meticulous, they are artists who transformed our front yard. You can tell that they really care about their work and each other. Alonso would come by a couple of times a week to chat with us, help out the crew if needed, and make sure they had everything they needed. Bobby, who gave us the estimate, also checked in with us. He did everything he could to keep the price within our budget, even after a few changes to the design. The craftsmanship that’s gone into these walls is one of a kind. Thank you so much NLR!!

New Life Rockeries was so easy to work with on every step of the process. They heard our hopes/goals, provided awesome professional feedback to make it even better than our hopes, and got the job done! They started sooner than we expected, were very detailed focused (since I’m working form home I’d spy a little and was impressed by how they would spend the time to get each stone perfect), and they came in under budget! This was not a little project either, they leveled a weird hill we had, moved an old rock wall (even built a new rock wall with the old stones to another part of the yard that needed), and built a beautiful new patio and retaining wall with a built-in bench. Can’t recommend them enough and will get more projects done by them in the future! *In the photos you will see a concrete wall, they did not do that ugly thing. That is getting covered by a fence that will sit on-top of the lovely wall New Life built.

Absolutely fantastic. We had the New Life team replace our failing retaining wall and make some steps from our front to back yard and an area for a fire pit. They stabilized our wall despite torrential rain while they were working. Their work was surgically precise and our neighbors were also really happy. They replaced an ugly, rotten wall with a beautiful terraced one in terrible weather and stayed on budget doing so. They were so easy to work with and we are so happy with the result. Thank you!!

The Process

At B&D Rockeries, we make it our goal to use our skill and expertise to create beautiful, unique landscaping additions that property owners can be proud of.

Planning

The first step involved in designing and planning the project is to first survefy your Seattle area property. Staff at B&D Rockeries will come out and inspect your property to get an idea for what you would like the final product to look like. Once we have a general idea of the layout and design of the landscaping project, we can start making plans for what supplies and equipment we will need to perform the job efficiently.

Materials

Along with determining the design comes the task of choosing the materials from which the outdoor path or stairs will be constructed. There are two kinds of rock that are typically used to create these landscaping pieces in the Seattle area.

      • Standard Rock: Rock is used to create a hardy, natural look to your walkway or staircase. Large rocks are used to create strong, solid steps for a staircase or are interlaid to create a flat section of path.

      • Flagstone: Flagstone is a common sedimentary rock used to create elegant pathways and staircases. The variety of colors and thicknesses in flagstone rock allows us to build unique and intricate additions to your landscape.

Construction

Now that plans are in place and materials have been purchased, we are ready to schedule a date and time for the project to start. Finally, our team of strong and efficient workers can begin to construct a secure foundation on which your staircase or pathway will be made. Every project is unique to the property owner’s preferences and landscaping needs.
If you think a rock staircase or pathway would add accessibility and beauty to your landscape, we would love to help you make that thought a reality. At B&D Rockeries, we have the team, equipment, and expertise to create a unique and powerful landscaped addition to your Seattle property.
