Landscaping in Felida, WA

What Felida yards actually need

Working around mature trees

The firs and maples in Felida yards are often the best feature of the property, and they are also the constraint. Trenching through a root plate or raising grade over a root zone can kill a tree years later, well after everyone has forgotten the patio went in. We route drainage and adjust hardscape layouts to protect root zones instead of taking the shortest line.

Larger yards and outdoor living

With more room to work with, the projects here more often include a pergola, an outdoor kitchen, a fire feature or a water feature rather than just a patio. That means running gas, water and electrical sleeves under hardscape before it goes down, and sequencing the build so nothing gets cut up later.

Slopes down toward the lake

Properties running down toward Lake River and Vancouver Lake pick up real grade. Terraced walls turn that slope into usable outdoor rooms, and they need proper drainage behind every tier.
