Testimonials

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!!

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.

"We loved working with the team. They listened to our concerns, landscape issues, provided reasonable solutions that work and excellent work. The team was meticulous and conscientious of our neighbors. They allowed us to expand on the project finding what worked best. Clean up everyday was part of their routine. We were kept informed every step of the way. We love our new patio areas, rockeries, landscape and drainage solutions. We now have a very livable and workable space! We would hire them again. "

Rockeries Materials

We work in a wide selection of materials due to the variety of work that we do. This allows us to take every factor into account when selecting the best materials to give your project the perfect look. The following are a sampling of what we commonly use.

Stone

It might be surprising to know that when it comes to rocks and stone, New Life Rockeries has an incredible variety to choose from to build your retaining walls and water features. Commonly we select basalt, limestone, granite, and sandstones. Your preference of colors, size, texture, and rock shape all can be taken into consideration when picking the selection of stones for your Kirkland project. Selecting the right stone for your property begins with the type of rockery construction you select. Environmental factors also will factor into the rocks and stones we recommend to use.

Plants

The addition of plants to your retaining wall can have an immense impact on the surroundings and the end look that it brings to your property. Simply adding a proper selection of plants to your rockeries can transform your project giving it vibrant and welcoming feeling. If your project is in an area with little light, impatiens or hostas can thrive. By selecting some of the more common plant life and intermixing it in your rockery display, you enhance the beauty of the project. It blends into the property giving the illusion that was naturally occurring.

Retaining Walls

Depending on the environmental needs and the layout of your rockery, you might require a full retaining wall to be built. Our professional crew will meet with you at your Issaquah property and discuss the best placement of the wall on your property. Once we have selected the best rocks suited to the needs and function of your wall, we will begin construction.

Rockeries Materials

Depending on your rockery needs, you may require the construction of a full retaining wall. Our specialists will discuss with you the best layout and placement of your retaining wall project. After considering what function the wall is intended to accomplish, we will handpick the best materials needed for the project as well as the desired style. New Life Rockeries mainly uses three kinds of rock in the projects we work on.

One Man, Half Man Rock
Rocks that can be mostly positioned by hand and are good for small wall projects. It is key to point out that one man and half man rocks are not the definition as rocks a man can pick up, these are rocks that a man can move with the use of a crowbar. Additionally, on one half man jobs, we bring out a larger crew to ensure we can complete most of the work in one day.

Two and Three Man Rock
Rocks of this type can only be lifted and positioned with the assistance of a machine. This means that our teams will have one man in a machine as well as one man on the ground while a third is driving a supply truck bringing materials. This is the most common type of work our crews do. We use a mini machine that has been specifically designed to make the construction of these type of walls both quick and economical. We can install 400-600 square feet of wall a day on average.

Boulders
Because of their rounded edges and smooth surfaces, boulders are rarely used in the construction of rock walls. They may on occasion be inserted within rock walls for aesthetics as they are generally best reserved for decorative uses on a property.

Water Features

Water features are an excellent way to complement of your rockery. Everything from ponds, pools, falls, and fountains are all great additions that not only increase the beauty of your project but can also help control water flow on your property. With a wide variety of water feature options available, you can achieve nearly any look you desire.

New Life Rockeries wants to give your landscape a voice. Selecting the best combination of material, plants, and water features is one way we help you achieve that. We provide you with expert assistance ensuring you make the right choice in rocks for your water feature in addition to selecting its perfect placement.
