Organized by the five questions every project raises: design, plants & materials, cost, hiring, and seasonal care.

Dining, lounging, and garden space in a compact city lot.

Designing for Seattle's rain, not around it.

Terracing, retaining walls, and making elevation an asset.

By sun and shade exposure, for gardens that thrive with less fuss.

What actually holds up through a Seattle winter.


Real per-square-foot ranges for pavers, concrete, and stone.



Before you hire in Washington state.



What to cut back, what to leave, and why timing matters here.
