Drainage Problems Solved Using a River Rock Bed

With all the rainfall we get here in the Northwest, proper drainage systems for our landscapes are crucial.  Installing a drain with a river rock bed is a great way to safely and appropriately move water away from your property.

Bonsais over 100 years old…

We visited our neighbor Central Valley Nursery last weekend to pick up some dwarf burning bush, goldflame spirea and Japanese holly.  I was pleased to see that these bonsai elders were starting to produce leaves!

That Time of Year…

With spring comes more energy and more time spent outdoors. The proverbial “spring cleaning” shouldn’t be contained within the interior of our homes, as our landscapes deserve the same attention. Our front and back yards are where we spend much of our time during the spring and summer months, and if you don’t have year-round maintenance, chances are these areas could use a clean-up! Let us do the work for you, so that you can enjoy your weekends in leisure.

Landscape Block Steps

Landscape stone block steps provide a safe pathway to travel up and down a sloped area. These steps were built into a hillside and are a safe alternative to wood stairs that collect moss in wet environments.

Landscape Rejuvenation, Rebark & Gravel Pathway

What a difference a little pruning and shaping can make.  Throw in some new bark, and your landscape is immediately rejuvenated!  For this residential property in McCormick Woods, gravel was also added as an inexpensive solution to distinguish a pathway.

Lawn & Landscape Spring Clean-Up

Of all the seasons, spring brings the greatest sense of anticipation. Rightfully so, considering the many snowstorms and windstorms we’ve had to endure throughout this winter. If you don’t have regularly scheduled maintenance for your property, chances are your landscape has seen better days!

Now is a perfect time for a clean-up. We’ll remove all branches and debris, rake and freshen up your mulch, blow down hard surfaces like driveways, porches and patios, clear all weeds, prune and trim your trees and shrubs, and more.

We recently rejuvenated the property you see below near Island Lake.  One of the many benefits of service throughout the winter months is having a jump start on spring with a neat and tidy landscape!

Imagine… back yard barbecues with friends atop a new flagstone patio, or lazy afternoons spent with a glass of ice tea listening to the calming sounds of a new water feature!

Budgeting begins with a consultation, so call today for a free estimate!

Board-on-Board Cedar Fence

Cedar fences offer an aesthetically pleasing solution for privacy and blocking out unwanted views.  They also secure your property from the outside world, creating a safe place for children and pets to play.

Here are photos of a board-on-board style cedar fence we constructed in December.  The customers were very pleased with our work and thought that the copper caps really set it off.  We couldn’t agree more!

We already posted photos of this landscape that we created earlier this year in June.  We periodically visit properties that we’ve completed just to see how they’re coming along.  We liked this photo and thought you may enjoy it too…

Another Happy Customer

A short note from a customer who liked the work that we did for her the first time (a new lawn and a paver pathway) so much that she called on us again.  At Northwest Construction & Landscape we just can’t help it.  We love making people happy.

Dear Cami & Colby,

Thank you for the AWESOME job!  I am very happy to know that you don’t consider the job done until the customer is happy.  The worker who was here on Saturday told me (twice) that he was not leaving until I was happy.  After he finished, my yard was how I had envisioned it.  I have spoken to a coworker and it may be a referral.

Custom Waterfall

We recently constructed this waterfall for a customer in Silverdale. A water feature like this one functions as a soothing centerpiece for any outdoor living space. In addition to their natural beauty, water features attract local wildlife and enhance our well-being by calming the mind.

Stone Retaining Wall

Retaining walls are often built on residential properties for aesthetic reasons. For this particular Poulsbo home, retaining walls were necessary to mitigate an unsightly slope, prevent erosion and to keep the dirt from moving.  Additionally, a path needed to be cleared and leveled so that the area could be accessed as a walkway.

Appreciation Letter & Testimonial from the Mitchells

My husband and I have experienced many contractors from years of remodeling and updating different houses and properties. We did not always have good experiences, and sometimes we did not finish the whole project due to the poor workmanship and days of no shows.

We decided to spend our vacation money on a landscaping project this year instead of travelling to the east coast. I must say we have been very pleased with the quality of workmanship and the hours put in on a daily basis, rain or shine, from Northwest Construction & Landscape. This new up-and-coming company has our appreciation and confidence they will succeed and prosper as they grow in the coming years.

Our project has given us many hours of enjoyment and now we can walk down to the lower level of our property with no problem. The flagstone steps they created are safe, beautiful, and give us the quality we have been searching for to complete a unique look for our garden and home.

My husband and I decided to obtain their weekly maintenance program due to the straightforward and honest approach in our first meeting, and discussion of our wants and needs for this long desired project. We are looking forward to not having to spend numerous hours on the weekend in our yard now. Instead, I’ll have a glass of ice tea in hand to read my book and admire our beautifully sculpted yard.

Artistry, creativity and talented hands completed our beautiful landscaping project. The working crew were pleasant and probably the hardest workers I have witnessed in many a year. Workers do not generally clean-up their mess, but this crew did every night, much to my surprise.

I would highly recommend Northwest Construction & Landscape for any project, large or small. They will get the job done in a timely and professional manner. Honesty and trust are my priorities in dealing with contractors. We did not go wrong in choosing this company to accomplish our backyard dream.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR OUR BEAUTIFUL YARD!!

Custom Stairway with Flagstone

This customer in Poulsbo approached us with a very specific request: to ensure that she and her husband would be able to move about secure from harm.  Previously, the lawn was too steep and she was concerned that they could potentially fall as a result.

We built them an elegant stairway with safety in mind.  Each landing is 4 feet in length and each step height is only 8 inches. The landscape lighting on either side produces safe lighting for nighttime barbeques, as well as ambiance.

Landscape for a Neighborhood Home

We tore up the old landscape to this home in Silverdale as it had been unkept for many years.  The owners asked for a unique landscape in comparison to all the others in their neighborhood.

They had two specific requests: a stone wall and a small lawn. After the job was completed, the woman of the house remarked that seeing this landscape was like a dream come true.

Rebark, Flagstone Pathway & Stone Wall

Here is another example of some of the landscape renovation and hardscape services we provide.  For this property we rebarked, added onto an existing flagstone pathway, and constructed a stone wall with steps.

Landscape Addition with River Rock Bed

For this landscape addition near Erland’s Point, we added new plants, installed bark, placement rocks, and a river rock bed to give the landscape a more refined look.

Basic Landscape for a Quick Flip

This Bremerton house was deserted for many months.  We were hired to create a basic landscape to make this house presentable for potential buyers, working with a limited budget.  After this landscape was installed, the house was sold within one week, making the flipper a substantial amount of money.

We created a dual pathway to enter the house, and created flower beds with placement rocks resulting in an appealing first impression. Prior to our services, the backyard was an overgrown steep hill that did not function as a backyard. We leveled the ground and built a retaining rock wall as well as rock steps which led to the bus stop on the road behind the house.
