Full-Service Landscape Design & Contracting in the Greater Seattle Area
Creating a beautiful, functional outdoor living space requires more than just planting a few shrubs or laying some stone. It requires a team that understands your land — its slope, soil, drainage, and the way light moves across it through the seasons. At New Life Rockeries, we've been designing and building outdoor living spaces across the greater Seattle area since 1975, and that depth of experience shapes every project we take on.
Our landscape design and contracting work is built around a simple principle: we design it, we build it. There's no handoff between a designer and a separate contractor, no miscommunication, no finger-pointing when something doesn't go as planned. Our designers and our crews work together from day one, which means the design is always buildable, the budget is always realistic, and the finished project always matches what was promised.
We work with the full range of outdoor living elements — natural stone patios, garden design and planting, retaining walls and rockeries, drainage systems, steps and stairways, water features, and complete property transformations. Whatever your outdoor space needs, we have the expertise and the crews to deliver it.
Our approach is rooted in Pacific Northwest craft. We use natural materials that age beautifully in Washington's climate — stone, native plants, cedar, and basalt — and we design spaces that feel like they belong to the land rather than being imposed on it. We never ask for payment until the job is done to your complete satisfaction.

What We Build
Landscape Design & Planning
Comprehensive site assessment and landscape design covering topography, soil, drainage, sun exposure, and intended use. We develop designs that solve your property's specific challenges and create cohesive, beautiful outdoor spaces.
Garden Design & Planting
Custom garden designs using plants that thrive in Pacific Northwest conditions. We select species for year-round interest, appropriate scale, and low maintenance — and we plant them correctly for long-term success.
Patio & Outdoor Living Spaces
Natural stone and paver patios, outdoor kitchens, fire pit areas, and complete outdoor entertainment spaces. We design and build spaces that extend your home into the landscape and are used year-round.
Retaining Walls & Rockeries
Engineered retaining walls and naturalistic rockeries that manage slope, create usable terraces, and add structure to the landscape. Designed and built in-house with full drainage engineering on every project.
Drainage & Grading Solutions
French drains, catch basins, swales, and surface grading to manage the Pacific Northwest's significant rainfall. Proper drainage is the foundation of every successful outdoor project — we engineer it into every design.
Complete Property Transformations
Full-property redesigns combining retaining walls, rockeries, patios, steps, drainage, and landscaping. We transform challenging, underutilized properties into beautiful, functional outdoor living spaces — all under one contract.
