The outdoor seating area on the sunny side of this Bainbridge Island waterfront home was cramped, dated, and threatened by erosion of the bank below.

The new deck expands the client’s sunny outdoor area, stabilizes the bank, and complements the house beautifully. To reduce the load on the soil, the deck is cantilevered out over the bank on a lightweight aluminum-beam frame. Jim used reclaimed old-growth cedar for the oversized decking, with the ends of the deck boards carefully shaped to follow the natural outlines of the bluestone patio pavers. The curving rail system was built to match the trim details of the house.

After

Periodically, we will be sharing with you, our recently completed landscape projects. When possible, we will post before & after photos, and descriptions of the site. Occasionally, we will also include construction & planting plans, along with images and information about the installation process. We hope you enjoy the transformation of these landscapes as much as we do.

You will find these additions under our Recently Completed Landscapes category. For more info and other previously done projects please check out our Landscape Services page.

We’ve just received a new shipment of humming bird feeders from Parasol Gardens. These recycled glass feeders add an attractive accent to the garden.
