Landscape Architecture and Design-Build
Kirkland is one of the Eastside's most active residential markets, combining a dense, walkable waterfront downtown with a broad mix of housing types, from single-family homes to townhomes and modern condominiums. This variety creates a wide range of site constraints, including compact lots, shared property lines, older infrastructure, and evolving zoning requirements.
Successful landscape projects in Kirkland require more than installation. They require architectural site planning that accounts for drainage behavior, circulation, privacy, and construction logistics, especially where properties sit near slopes, waterfront conditions, or tightly spaced neighborhoods.
We work with homeowners, builders, and professional advisors to deliver projects that prioritize usability, durability, and a clear process. Whether the scope involves a focused hardscape renovation, an outdoor living space, or a full site redesign, design intent and construction execution remain aligned under one accountable team.
Our Kirkland projects typically include:
- Site analysis, grading strategy, and drainage planning tailored to lot constraints and local rainfall patterns
- Hardscape design and construction including patios, stairs, retaining walls, and circulation paths
- Outdoor living planning coordinated with utilities, access, and long-term use patterns
- Planting design that balances privacy, view preservation, and realistic maintenance expectations
- Planning support for city review requirements, when applicable
By resolving structural and logistical constraints early, projects can reduce rework risk and support long-term performance.
Working in Kirkland Neighborhoods
Kirkland includes waterfront districts, hillside neighborhoods, and increasingly dense residential areas shaped by zoning updates allowing more units per lot. Projects may involve tighter access, shared boundaries, and greater visibility compared to the "Point" cities.
Projects may require:
- Drainage planning intended to reduce downstream impacts on adjacent properties
- Coordination for compact lots, shared driveways, and limited staging areas
- HOA or community design-review considerations in certain developments
- Tree retention planning where mature canopy is present
- Design strategies that improve privacy without isolating the home from neighborhood character
Experience navigating these conditions helps construction proceed efficiently with clearer expectations.
