Thoughtful Design. Outdoor Spaces That Feel Complete
Landscape Design
for Seattle Metropolitan Area Homes
Every great landscape begins with a conversation.
You share how you want to live outdoors, and we design a space that feels personal and connected to your life. At North East Landscaping Services, design is where relationships take root. Our family-run team listens, plans, and builds with care so your landscape feels natural, enduring, and completely your own.
Plan It Right Once. Enjoy It For Years
Why Thoughtful Landscape Design Matters
A well-planned landscape prevents costly rework and ensures every feature supports the way you live outdoors. With more than 20 years of residential experience, we design around the realities of the Pacific Northwest: rainfall, drainage, soil health, and your home’s architecture.
Our design approach focuses on:
Concept and planting plans tailored to your property
2D and 3D renderings that help you visualize the finished space
Material guidance for texture, tone, and long-term performance
Permitting support when required
A seamless transition from design into construction
Shape with intention. Build with purpose
Our Design Philosophy
A well-designed landscape should feel cohesive and complete. We focus on proportion, circulation, privacy, sunlight, and long-term maintenance so your outdoor space feels natural, balanced, and truly livable.
-
Drainage, soil health, slope, and irrigation are planned from the start so your landscape performs as well as it looks. We also consider material durability and microclimates so every choice fits the long-term needs of your site.
-
Your designer and build crew work together from concept to completion, ensuring the final space reflects the plan with accuracy. This integrated approach allows us to refine details in real time and maintain quality control through every phase.
-
Our 2D and 3D designs help you understand scale, layout, privacy, materials, and how the space will feel, long before any work begins. These visuals let you explore multiple layouts or phasing options so your space grows with you over time.
We design with purpose, not trends. Every layout supports how you move, gather, relax, and live at home.
