An Olympic Landscape Design Project in Tacoma, WA
- Regain the enjoyment of their landscape
- Improve access from home’s upper to lower level
- Reduce hazards in the steep climb to/from the beach
- Create raised garden beds for herbs and veggies
- Provide color interest
- Preserve views
- Easier to maintain
- Install sprinklers
This Day Island home overlooking the Tacoma Narrows offered beautiful water views and glorious sunsets. A recent remodel provided comfortable styling and gracious living. The grace needed to be carried into the overgrown landscape. The owners missed the joy of gardening as the backyard fell into disuse and there was very little connection from the upper living area to the lower backyard. The climb down to the beach was difficult.
In this case, the cleanup revealed unknown grades, massive rocks, and opened up possibilities. One such rock was planned to be the pivotal accent for the new path to the beach. To keep the step risers a comfortable height the walkway lengthened and curved from the backyard patio down to the beach.
Colored stamped concrete was chosen as the paving, replacing brick and timbers, to increase safe footing and reduce maintenance. It beautifully ties a warm ribbon of color from one level to the next. The old brick was cleaned and used to build raised masonry garden beds, creating an easy height for tending plants and angled to optimize the sun and living spaces. Another sweep of steps transitions up to the side yard just off the kitchen to form a small patio with room for a woodfired pizza oven and table grouping. The entire project pulled all the elements together to form a place of relaxation and peaceful views at every level!

Glen & Alice C. – Spanaway, WA
“Olympic was here yesterday doing some work at my unit in Goldmont. They were incredible. For example, I had been standing nearby when they were digging and working. Later, when the Goldmont facilities manager asked me to show him where they’d worked, I couldn’t find it. They had cleaned up so well behind themselves that I couldn’t even see where they had dug. They even put the beauty bark back in place. I never call into companies like this but I truly appreciated their hard work and wanted to let them know that.”
