Modern Outdoor Design in Tacoma - Tacoma, WA

I worked in the landscape construction business in Seattle for many years. Towards the end of my time up there, it seemed like I was working on a seemingly endless stream of new modern homes building a variety modern decks, patios, walls and fences to match. Now I get it some people hate it, some people love it, but for me I've always really enjoyed modern design. It has clean lines that create gorgeous symmetry, it maximizes space making things more sustainable, and it incorporates utility beautifully in a way that others styles fail.

Nobody NEEDS a Pergola - Tacoma, WA

What makes pergolas so cool? You don't really NEED them. Unlike many other things in a yard (fences, walls, etc.) their utility is simply to be a beautiful place to gather under. Having a pergola built will certainly add some flavor to your home’s exterior, and may even raise the value of your home a bit, but its real purpose is closer to art than necessity.

Concrete or Pavers? - Tacoma, WA

To pour or not to pour, that is the question. To be honest, it's actually a question we get quite often. People want to build a new walkway, driveway or patio, but aren't sure how to choose between using concrete or using pavers. We thought we would take a couple of minutes to break it down for you, and make the decision a bit easier.
