Tacoma

Fun clients allow for fun projects.  The owners of this double-lot in Mt. Washington wanted to landscape their empty hillside, which had nothing but a built-in bench up top and half of a worn-away staircase at its base to access an orchard.  We spruced up the existing steps, added some stacked broken concrete retaining walls, fencing, and continued the staircase up to the top of the hill.  The solution for stabilizing a hillside is to provide a mixture of native plants with varying root depths; which we punctuated with some succulents and olive trees.
