West Seattle Remodel

This West Seattle home went through a complete remodel, which resulted in the entire landscape being removed with the exception of a few Japanese maples. With a blank slate there were many possibilities in the design to add function and beauty. Back patios were built to expand the living space of the home and create a fantastic location for outdoor dining and enjoying the view. Below a new retaining wall filled with lush hydrangeas is a meadow with drifts of grasses and flowering herbaceous perennials. A carefully placed granite boulder provides a beautiful spot to sit and enjoy the garden with grandchildren.

A small front patio next to the kitchen allows easy access to the grill and bin corral. The cedar bin corral hides the bins from view while still maintaining easy access. Gorgeous granite stepping stones lead to the front door and through the garden. A cedar lattice fence supports climbing hydrangeas and star jasmine to create a lush privacy barrier. The living driveway is a beautiful feature to be used occasionally to charge an electric car. Plantings of shrubs, ground covers, and perennials throughout will fill into lush garden spaces all around the house.
