Smart and Beautiful Outdoor Living

Seattle Sustainable Landscapes can help you create beautiful outdoor spaces to fit your individual needs. We consider the function of your property to determine the overall goals and priorities of your outdoor space. For example, a backyard used for child entertaining may require a different design than a patio used for gathering and relaxing.

Ways in which we consider the function of a property and how it can impact your landscape design:

• Layout: a property used for entertaining may require a large patio or deck, while a property used for relaxation may benefit from a meandering pathway or a secluded garden.
• Plantings: a property used for entertaining may require low-maintenance plants that can withstand heavy foot traffic, while a property used for relaxation may benefit from plants that provide shade or fragrant flowers.
• Hardscapes: Elements such as patios, decks, retaining walls, and pathways, should be designed to support the intended use of the property. For example, a property used for entertaining may require a large patio or deck, while a property used for relaxation may benefit from a secluded seating area or a water feature.

Let’s determine the best solutions for your lifestyle or needs.

What is the design process?

There is a significant trust-building process that needs to happen when developing a successful project plan. Seattle Sustainable Landscapes handles all of the steps of the landscaping process. We will also work with third-party design firms when desired. Here is the typical process when creating a landscape design:

By following this process, Seattle Sustainable Landscapes can work with property owners to create a customized and well-planned landscape design that meets their needs and preferences.

Elements to consider in your landscape design
