ROCK LANDSCAPING - in Snohomish
We at Earth First have a genuine concern for the environment
that informs all of our work. We know that you value the
preservation of natural beauty in the places where you live and
work. Our rockery designs take careful consideration of
environmental concerns such as erosion and water drainage. We
can also help you create conditions that will foster the growth
of your preferred plant varieties, as well as attract beneficial
and desirable insect and animal life. We can bring your backyard
ideas to life!
A rockery can be a retaining or protection design that is made
up of stacked rocks or decorative stones without mortar. The
stones can be stacked to interlock but there are no artificial
connections made between the individual rocks. These designs use
the weight, size, shape, and interface friction of the stones to
provide overall stability. Sometimes rock is used in landscaping
to highlight specific plantings, replace a traditional lawn area
or help stabilize an area of yard. Adding rock can be one of the
most dramatic changes to your landscape design.
Rock Gardens
Rock gardens are usually low-maintenance and can be in-season
all year round. They add a natural feel and variety to the
landscape. Rock gardens are becoming very much in demand
because they can bring a modern element to landscaping and can
be used in multiple applications. At Earth First we have done
many different styles of installation, always with the same
great care and precision work you expect.
Backyard Ideas
A rockery is a garden idea that can be an elegant addition to
your landscape, and by adding a variety of plants, rock sizes,
landscape boulders and greenery you can create a colorful and
stunning focal point. Large rockeries should be installed by a
professional contractor because of the heavy labor involved and
Earth First is well prepared with the proper equipment and years
of experience to assist you in getting the perfect landscape
design you are desiring.
Patio Designs
You can get that natural look you desire by incorporating basalt
quarry rock or granite in your landscape design. There is a
large variety in rock, they can go from pea-sized to boulders
with many different color variations. Basalt quarry rock is
blasted from the mountain and has the jagged appearance that
makes it ideal for that natural look and is very popular in
landscape designs. It can be used in retaining walls but also to
protect plant roots and keep down weeds. Not only is it
economical but it also adds texture and dimension to your
landscape.
Achieving an attractive rock garden requires exceptional
attention to detail. We take great care to work with our
customers at every step of the process. We listen to your ideas
and pay careful attention to your vision and plans. Our
extensive experience also allows us to give valuable input into
the design process, educating our customers in important details
of a project. We can help you improve both the practical and the
aesthetic aspects of your design. For instance, the type of rock
you choose—such as granite or basalt quarry rock can make a big
difference to the way a feature fits with its surroundings. We
can help you make some of those difficult choices.
In collaboration with you, we promise an elegant and pleasing
landscape, custom-designed to the distinct characteristics of
your property.
