Full-Service Landscaping for the Pacific Northwest
Landscaping in the Pacific Northwest is tricky — steep slopes, heavy rain, and clay soils mean a yard can fail fast if it’s not built right. That’s why Rainier Rockeries delivers solutions that are both durable and beautiful, tailored to the unique conditions of King and Pierce Counties. From drainage fixes to erosion control, we design landscapes that not only enhance curb appeal but also withstand Northwest weather.
Our Core Landscaping Services:
- Rock and block retaining walls – Strong, attractive walls that prevent erosion and create usable space.
- Drainage solutions – French drains, swales, and grading to keep water moving away from your home.
- Paver patios and walkways – Stylish, low-maintenance hardscapes built for everyday living.
- Artificial turf installation – A clean, green lawn alternative that drains well and stays beautiful year-round.
- Landscape steps and risers – Safe, functional access on sloped properties, built with natural stone or block.
- Boulder walls and decorative rock – Natural, rugged beauty that blends seamlessly with the Northwest landscape.
- Emergency repairs – Fast response for wall failures, drainage issues, or other urgent problems.
We don’t just install landscaping — we engineer it for the long term. Proper design and installation are the difference between a yard that holds up through decades of rain and one that starts failing after the first storm.
Our Approach – Built for Real Life
Our team believes in cookie-cutter landscaping. Every project is personally reviewed by owner Angel Khan to make sure the design solves your yard’s specific challenges — whether that’s erosion, drainage, mud, or wasted slope. Too often, landscaping companies focus on looks and leave the underlying problems untouched. That means standing water comes back, walls start to fail, and your yard becomes high-maintenance all over again. We take a different approach: fix the problem, build it to last, and make it look great while we’re at it.
Retaining Walls That Hold Up
Retaining walls aren’t just about looks — they protect your yard, foundation, and outdoor spaces from erosion and water damage. In the Pacific Northwest, where steep slopes and heavy rain are the norm, the right wall can turn unusable land into safe, level space while keeping your property stable.
We build all types of walls, including:
Rock walls – Natural, rugged, and long-lasting.
Block walls – Clean lines, uniform strength, and versatile styles.
Reinforced walls – Engineered for steep grades or heavy loads.
Because slope and water are such big factors in Washington, proper design and drainage behind your wall are just as important as the wall itself. That’s why every installation we do is engineered to last through decades of wet weather.
Retaining Wall FAQs:
Can you replace my failing wood wall? Yes — we safely remove and rebuild with stronger, lasting materials.
Do I need permits? Often, yes. We guide you through the process and handle the details.
What materials do you use? Locally sourced basalt, plus trusted systems from Belgard, Mutual Materials, and Basalite.
Paver Patios and Walkways
A well-built patio or walkway does more than connect spaces — it creates an inviting outdoor living area that feels like an extension of your home. Whether it’s a cozy backyard patio, an outdoor kitchen foundation, or a front walkway that makes a statement, we design and install custom paver surfaces that fit your style and your property. We use top-quality materials from Belgard, Basalite, and Mutual Materials, ensuring long-term durability and beauty. Each project is tailored with unique layouts, colors, and patterns, giving you a design that stands out while complementing your home.
Artificial Turf - Looks Good, Stays Clean
If your lawn is muddy, patchy, or worn down by kids and pets, artificial turf is the perfect upgrade. Modern turf looks natural, drains well, and stands up to heavy use—great for shady yards, play areas, or dog-friendly zones. With a proper drainage layer, rain flows through instead of pooling, so no more mud, dead spots, mowing, or chemicals—just a clean, green yard year-round.
Why homeowners choose artificial turf:
Perfect for shady, muddy, or high-traffic areas
Pet- and family-friendly
Built with drainage for Northwest weather
No mowing, no chemicals, no mess
Pro Tip: Certain turf types are better for pets, play, or aesthetics. We’ll help you choose the right one for your family and how you’ll use your yard.
Solving the Drainage The Right Way
Water is one of the biggest challenges for homeowners in the Pacific Northwest. Without proper grading and drainage, heavy rains can quickly lead to pooling, erosion, or even damage to retaining walls and foundations. Our team designs drainage systems that move water away from your home and yard — not just for one season, but for the long run. Our solutions are tailored to each property, especially in hilly areas like Bellevue, Newcastle, and Sammamish, where slope and runoff are constant issues.
Drainage solutions we install include:
- French drains – Subsurface systems that collect and redirect water
- Dry wells – Underground storage for excess rainwater
- Permeable pavers – Hardscape that doubles as drainage
- Proper grading and slope correction – The foundation of every successful project
With the right design and installation, drainage becomes invisible — your yard stays dry, walls stay strong, and your landscape works the way it should.
Steps, Slopes and Hillside Solutions
Sloped yards don’t have to be wasted space. With the right design, they can become functional and beautiful. At Rainier Rockeries, we create custom steps using basalt, bluestone, or black marble, built to be safe, durable, and seamlessly tied into patios and retaining walls. These hillside upgrades are especially popular in Renton, Kent, and Gig Harbor, where steep lots are common.
Benefits of custom landscape steps:
- Safe, non-slip access on sloped terrain
- Long-lasting stone construction
- Integrated with patios and retaining walls for a seamless look
- Adds function and curb appeal to hillside properties
A sloped yard doesn’t have to be a challenge — it can be an opportunity. Our custom hillside solutions turn steep, underused areas into inviting pathways and outdoor living spaces you’ll enjoy for years to come.

What it Cost?
One of the first things most homeowners want to know is, “What will this cost me?” The answer depends on several factors — project size, site access, slope, soil type, and the materials you choose. No two yards are the same, which is why we don’t give cookie-cutter numbers. Instead, we focus on clear, upfront pricing so you know exactly what to expect.
Keep in mind, these ranges are averages. A straightforward ground-level patio will usually fall on the lower end, while a tall reinforced retaining wall on a steep slope may be on the higher end. The best way to get accurate pricing is with a free on-site consultation. We’ll review your yard, listen to your goals, and explain the best options for your budget. Homeowners often tell us they appreciate how simple and transparent our estimating process is compared to other contractors.
