Sammamish Getaway | Bellingham, WA Outdoor Structures & Kitchens

For this project, our clients in Sammamish, Washington, had an overgrown Italian garden that didn't suit their needs. They desired a more functional backyard space for entertaining and playing with their kids and pets. They also wanted to incorporate a new structure and firepit but worried it would obstruct the existing views.

Our landscape design team transformed this space by: 

1. Leveling the yard to eliminate grade changes and maximize playability. This created a more open and usable area.
2. Trimming and opening up perimeter trees to improve sightlines. This allowed for a clear view of the new structure while maintaining mature trees.
3. Installing synthetic grass for easy upkeep, perfect for kids and pets. This low-maintenance solution addressed the client's desire for a functional space.
4. Constructing a beautiful porcelain paver patio became the project's focal point. This added both beauty and functionality to the backyard.
5. The new structure and firepit were positioned to create a courtyard effect, enhancing rather than obstructing the views. This achieved a balance between functionality and aesthetics.

This project is a great example of transforming an underused space into a beautiful and functional retreat that meets the homeowner's needs.
