We hired Seattle Sustainable Landscapes to transform a shaded side garden that had never quite come…read moretogether. Before the work, the area was functional but awkward: we had managed the slope by placing rocks where they were needed, but it did not feel like an intentional part of the garden. What they created is entirely different: a quiet, integrated garden space with dry-stacked rock walls, a stepping-stone pathway, and a natural flow down the slope into the rest of the garden. What impressed us most was not just the craftsmanship, although the stonework is beautiful. It was the way the crew listened, adapted, and improved the design as the work unfolded. They understood that the goal was not to impose a new landscape on the site, but to make the new walls and pathway feel as though they belonged with the mature rhododendrons, ferns, and Japanese maple already there. The result feels settled, calm, and inviting. The crew was careful, skilled, and consistently kind in their communication. They took pride in the work, and it showed every day. The owners also deserve real credit: it was clear that they treat their crew with respect, value their judgment, and support good communication with the customer. That kind of culture matters because it comes through in the finished work. This was not simply a garden clean-up or a stone-wall project. It was the transformation of an underused side area into one of the most inviting parts of the garden. We are very grateful for the care, patience, and good judgment of the entire team, and we would recommend them without hesitation. Their commitment to excellence is true value and left us feeling delighted we had selected this company

Side note: Why we bought a house with a huge yard when we have zero gardening skills and/or yard maintenance work ethic is a question best left unanswered. Without Mr. Duong you probably wouldn't even be able to get to our front door through the untamed wilderness. For a while we were only paying to have our grass cut and during that time a lavender bush out front grew so big and full of bees that I started completely avoiding our front stairs (I may have irrational fear of bees). Mr. Duong trimmed it back and now I can use our front steps again. Thank you, Mr. Duong!

We hired Erin to design our backyard, side yard and front yard. She did a stupendous job -- was…read moreincredibly responsive to all our thoughts, entertained every idea without judgement, was on top of permitting with the city, and as a result of all her efforts, we have a beautiful deck of our kitchen, a Sunset Magazine worthy side yard of plantings and hardscape, and a working front yard with planter boxes and a chicken coop. Her designs are thorough and iterative, the plants she recommends and sources are vibrant and aesthetically pleasing, and she is not only fun and easy to work with but has reasonable rates for every price point. Having her design our landscaping provided a blue print we have followed over the years, gave a cohesive vision to our property, and saved us time and effort in the long run. I can't recommend Erin highly enough. She is a true keeper.

Erin Lau did a beautiful job, providing a design plan at a reasonable price…read more For the past twenty years, my husband and I have tried to "fix" our front yard. We'd plant a new bush, cut down a dying tree, add flowers, try hostas, arrange grasses, grow beautiful dahlias etc. No matter how much we dwelled on the yard, arranged and rearranged plants, the yard looked terrible. So after years of not quite getting it right, I went on the internet, found Erin Lau and scheduled an appointment. I had to wait about a month for availability in May. When Erin came to our home, I explained what I was hoping to achieve . . . a plan for a yard with street appeal. Erin walked around our yard discussing what we wanted to keep (nothing but the sidewalk) and what we could maintain (water). I then brought Erin a chair and a glass of ice water, so she could sit outside and sketch. After 2 hours, she provided us with a drawing plan that included plant placement, with botanical names/common names. My husband and I lreviewed the plan and could see it made sense. Erin's choices accented our large statuary rocks. She chose hearty clumping grasses, lavenders, sedums and two beautiful red maples that once established would require little maintenance. Out of our jumbled mess Erin designed a cohesive yard that we could still use existing rocks and walkways. My husband and I spent four weekends implementing the plan. Our yard is modern, united, and is appropriate to our fifties brick house. I love sitting in my car across the street admiring the new front yard before I pull into the garage. We've received so many compliments from neighbors and people walking/jogging by. I would highly recommend Erin. She is smart, talented, knowledgeable and easy going. An absolutely wonderful collaboration! On another note . . . we also purchased our plants through her and were satisfied not only with the reasonable prices, but also the health and quality of the plants.

I worked with Evergreen Permits on a multi-deck replacement project in Shoreline, WA that involved…read morecritical-area considerations and a fairly complex permit path. From start to finish, Benjamin Emery, the owner and architect, was outstanding. Evergreen took all of the headache out of dealing with the City and the permit process. Their communication was clear, proactive, and timely, and their attention to detail was excellent. They understood the local jurisdiction, applied the IRC prescriptive standards correctly, and helped keep the project moving without over-engineering or introducing unnecessary soft costs. What I appreciated most is that Benjamin and his team struck the perfect balance: they ensured the drawings and documentation were thorough enough to support a smooth inspection and high-quality build, while also protecting me as the homeowner from scope creep and unnecessary engineering expenses. They were thoughtful partners in coordinating with my contractor and helped keep everyone aligned on code compliance and construction best practices. If you're looking for a team that knows the permitting process inside and out, communicates exceptionally well, and helps ensure your project is built to a high standard without wasting time or money, I can't recommend Evergreen Permits highly enough.
