Expert Rockery Contractors Serving Bellevue, Washington
Bellevue has a strong tradition of natural stone rockeries, particularly in its older, established neighborhoods like Medina, Clyde Hill, and West Bellevue, where properties were developed in the 1950s and 1960s when natural stone was the standard material for hillside stabilization. Many of these original rockeries are still standing — a testament to the durability of properly built natural stone walls. New Life Rockeries has been building and restoring rockeries across Bellevue since 1975, and we've worked on properties throughout the city.
Bellevue's glacial till soils present specific challenges for rockery construction. The dense, poorly draining clay means that water builds up behind rockery walls during the wet season, and a rockery without proper drainage will shift and topple within a few years. Our Bellevue rockeries include a compacted gravel drainage layer behind the stone face, a perforated drain pipe at the footing, and careful stone placement that allows water to weep through the wall face without undermining the structure.
We source our rockery stone from Pacific Northwest quarries — primarily basalt from Eastern Washington and granite from the Cascades — selecting pieces for structural integrity, appropriate size for the wall height, and the natural, weathered appearance that Bellevue homeowners expect. For properties in Bellevue's established neighborhoods, we often match the stone type and color of existing rockeries to maintain visual consistency across the property.
Bellevue's Development Services Department requires permits for rockeries over 4 feet in height, and walls in steep slope or landslide hazard areas require geotechnical review. We manage the permit process on your behalf and have completed permitted rockery projects throughout Bellevue's most challenging hillside neighborhoods.

What We Build
Natural Stone Rockeries
Hand-placed granite, basalt, and fieldstone rockeries that integrate seamlessly with Pacific Northwest gardens. Each stone is selected for its natural character and placed to create a composition that looks native to the landscape.
Boulder Rockeries
Large-format boulder installations for dramatic landscape statements. We use equipment to place boulders precisely, creating rockeries that anchor the landscape and provide natural seating, garden borders, and focal points.
Terraced Rockeries
Multi-level rockery systems that transform sloped Bellevue properties into beautiful, usable outdoor spaces. Terraced rockeries create planting pockets for native plants, ferns, and groundcovers that thrive in Pacific Northwest conditions.
Rock Garden Installation
Decorative rock gardens that combine natural stone with carefully selected plants. We design rock gardens that provide year-round interest with minimal maintenance — perfect for Pacific Northwest homeowners.
Rockery Repair & Restoration
Assessment and repair of existing rockeries that have shifted, settled, or deteriorated. We restore rockeries to their original integrity while improving drainage and stability.
Slope Stabilization Rockeries
Structural rockeries designed to stabilize slopes and prevent erosion while maintaining a natural appearance. Ideal for properties where a formal retaining wall would look out of place.
