Expert Pergola Contractors Serving Burlington
A custom pergola transforms your Burlington outdoor space into a defined, beautiful living area. At New Life Rockeries, we've been building outdoor structures across Burlington and the greater Seattle area for over 50 years, and we understand the materials and construction methods that stand up to the Pacific Northwest climate.
Our Burlington pergola installations use premium cedar, redwood, and composite materials selected for their durability in Western Washington's wet climate. Every pergola we build is engineered for the loads and wind conditions specific to the Pacific Northwest, and installed on proper footings.
Whether you're looking for a simple garden arbor, a large freestanding pergola over a patio, or an attached pergola connected to your Burlington home, our team brings the same level of craftsmanship to every project.
Our crews are licensed, bonded, and insured in Washington State, and we never ask for payment until the job is done to your satisfaction.
Burlington is situated in the Skagit Valley, characterized by a mix of granular soils including gravels, sands, and silts, alongside areas of poorly drained Skagit series soils. The region's geological history, influenced by the receding Vashon glacier, has left behind glacial outwash and dense glacial till, which can tenaciously hold moisture. These conditions often necessitate retaining walls to manage drainage, prevent erosion, and stabilize slopes, especially in areas with varying topography.
In Burlington, Skagit County Planning & Development Services is the permit authority. A building permit is required for any retaining wall over 4 feet in height, measured from the bottom of the footing to the top of the wall. Projects requiring a permit will likely need construction documents prepared by a licensed engineer.
A homeowner in the Hillcrest neighborhood recently faced significant erosion on a sloped backyard, threatening their patio. We designed and installed a multi-tiered rockery system, integrating native plantings to stabilize the hillside and enhance the landscape. The new rockery effectively halted the erosion and created usable, level garden spaces.
