Kenmore Rockery Contractors

Expert Rockery Contractors Serving Kenmore, Washington

Kenmore 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 Kenmore and surrounding communities since 1975.

Our Kenmore 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.

Kenmore is situated in an area characterized by glacial till soils, a common feature of the Puget Sound region. This soil type — a mix of clay, silt, sand, and gravel — can present challenges for landscaping and construction due to its variable composition and drainage properties. The city's topography also includes areas with moderate slopes, making retaining walls essential for managing erosion and creating usable land.

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 Kenmore 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.

The City of Kenmore Development Services Department is responsible for issuing permits. A building permit is generally required for retaining walls exceeding four feet in height, measured from the bottom of the footing to the top of the wall, especially if they support a surcharge.

A homeowner in the Arrowhead neighborhood of Kenmore recently undertook a significant landscaping project to reclaim a sloped backyard. The project involved constructing a new tiered retaining wall system to create level garden spaces and improve drainage. The robust new walls not only enhanced the property's aesthetic appeal but also provided much-needed stability against soil erosion, transforming an unusable incline into a functional outdoor living area.
