Ecoyards

Ecoyards provides landscape design, installation, and maintenance for residential projects in the Seattle area. These areas include Seattle, Mercer Island, Burien, Seatac, Tukwila, and Normandy Park. Our goal is to create natural landscapes that are easy to care for and environmentally-friendly. Our services include landscape design and build, lawn and landscape renovation, yard maintenance, and installation of custom fencing, arbors, water features, irrigation systems, patios, retaining walls and other hardscapes.

When we first bought our house in West Seattle, you could walk directly from our front yard into the open space of our backyard. We didn't have a fence that separated the front and back yard spaces, and for a while that worked just fine for us. But then we got a dog and later a kid, and it seemed appropriate to build a fence to prevent both from running into the street. We wanted privacy, but we didn't want to be completely screened from the street, so we settled on a three-foot lattice fence with landscaping to provided added privacy, and an arbor where a hydrangea vine and tea roses could grow.
