Services
Landscape Design
Our landscape design service creates tailored outdoor environments that balance aesthetics with ecological function. We specialize in Seattle-specific solutions that manage rainfall, optimize drainage, and incorporate native plants. Clients receive scalable plans that evolve with plant growth while maintaining environmental benefits.
Rain Gardens
Rain garden installations transform stormwater management into beautiful garden features. We design systems that capture roof runoff, filter pollutants, and support native plant growth. Each garden integrates with existing landscapes while qualifying homeowners for Seattle Public Utilities rebates.
Irrigation Systems
Our WaterSense-certified irrigation systems use smart controllers that adjust watering based on real-time weather data. We install drip lines and weather sensors that reduce water use by 50% while maintaining landscape health through Seattle's varying microclimates.
Lawn Renovation
Natural lawn renovation services address compaction and thatch buildup through aeration and compost topdressing. We install Northwest-adapted grass blends that require 30% less water while providing dense coverage that naturally suppresses weeds.
Hardscaping
Custom hardscape installations include permeable paver patios, retaining walls, and walkways that manage stormwater. We use locally sourced materials to create durable features that withstand Seattle's rainfall while complementing natural landscapes.

Jesus and crew were fabulous. We appreciate their careful, diligent work and that they took the time to orient us to the new irrigation system. Andy's bid and communications were very clear. Thank you!

I cannot say enough about how fantastic the Ecoyards crew was! Jesus and his team worked incredibly hard and transformed my yard completely- removing a 60 year old double row of laurel and replacing with the artfully placed stones and carefully curated plants. Their work is unmatched! The flagstone patio is beautiful and the stonework is masterful. Thanks so much for creating this lovely space for us to enjoy for years to come!

Ecoyards exceeded all expectations. From beginning to end of the project, I always received timely email responses to all questions and was kept updated every step of the way. The entire team was very professional and courteous. They started and completed the job in the expected time frame and the quality of work was simply outstanding. I can't thank them enough for the great job. I love my new backyard!

Ecoyards first installed irrigation, then a few months later installed sod at our home. They did an excellent job with the installation and used good quality system/products. I had a really great experience working with them. The owner (Andy) was really nice and patient as far as scheduling (we were balancing multiple exterior projects) and communicated often and responded quickly. Really appreciated the crews onsite as well.
With both projects, aspects came up where they came and knocked to ask my opinion and give their suggestions. They didn't just come slap the sod in, but really took care doing thoughtful work. I am planning to work with them again in future years as we complete projects in the rest of the yard. Do plan ahead if you hire them because they're busy and book out! I highly recommend this company.
