Expert Rockery Contractors Serving Anacortes, Washington
Anacortes properties are perfectly suited to natural stone rockeries — the Pacific Northwest climate, native plants, and terrain all work together to create ideal conditions for rockery installations that look as though they've always been part of the landscape. New Life Rockeries has been building rockeries in Anacortes and surrounding communities since 1975.
Our Anacortes rockery installations use natural granite, basalt, and fieldstone sourced from Pacific Northwest quarries. We select each stone for its natural character and place it to create compositions that integrate seamlessly with your existing landscape and garden.
Anacortes is significantly shaped by its glacial history, resulting in diverse geological conditions including glacial till and bedrock sculpted by ancient ice sheets. This topography often presents challenges such as steep hillsides and varied soil compositions, which can lead to drainage issues and necessitate robust retaining wall solutions to manage erosion and stabilize slopes.
Whether you're looking to stabilize a gentle slope, create a garden focal point, or transform an entire hillside, our team brings the same level of craft to every Anacortes project. We handle site preparation, drainage, stone placement, and provide planting guidance so your rockery thrives for decades.
Our crews have built hundreds of rockeries across King and Snohomish Counties. We're licensed, bonded, and insured in Washington State, and we never ask for payment until the job is done to your satisfaction.
A building permit from the City of Anacortes Building & Code Enforcement is required for retaining walls exceeding 4 feet in height, measured from the bottom of the footing to the top of the wall. Permits may also be necessary for walls in critical areas or those with unstable soils, potentially requiring engineered drawings.
A homeowner in the Washington Park area of Anacortes recently undertook a significant landscaping project, constructing a new retaining wall to terrace a sloped backyard. The project addressed persistent erosion issues and created usable flat areas for a garden, enhancing both the property's stability and aesthetic appeal.

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 Anacortes 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.
