Landscape Design
Our landscape design service creates customized outdoor spaces that blend aesthetic appeal with functional living areas. We specialize in Northwest-specific designs that incorporate native plants and sustainable materials. Clients receive detailed plans that consider topography, climate, and personal preferences while maintaining ecological balance.
Garden Stewardship
This comprehensive maintenance program ensures year-round garden health through scheduled pruning, weeding, planting, and seasonal cleanups. Our trained stewards document observations and recommendations using digital tracking systems to maintain consistent care across all client properties.
Outdoor Kitchens
We construct fully functional outdoor kitchens with premium materials and integrated appliances. Our designs create seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor living spaces while incorporating durable elements that withstand Pacific Northwest weather conditions.

An overall A+ experience! My job included replacing the pump on my water feature and upgrading my irrigation and outdoor lighting system. I was concerned if anyone would have the know how to get all three systems working like new. EC had the knowledge, as well as excellent communication along the way. Highly recommend.

We have had nothing but head ache from this company and the worst person we met from this company Lori/Laurie came off as patronizing, lacking customer service, intelligence and all things bad with this country ignorance. We went somewhere else for our needs.

Environmental Construction is great to work with. They have great attention to detail and they highly value the quality and customer service that they provide! As a landscape architect I have the opportunity to work with many contractors and see first hand how much a company's values are reflected in their work.

Environmental Construction, Inc did major renovation of our front and back yards - removing old trees and plants, creating new beds, reworking irrigation, adding paths and lighting, and installing new plants and large rocks. They did a fantastic job. Our project manager, Jon, and crew leader, Josh, were extremely responsive and courteous. The crew did high quality work and kept the job site clean. Both Jon and Josh kept us well informed on their progress and what work would be done next, every step of the way. We are very happy with the results and we highly recommend them.

We wanted to re-do our front yard after removing our oil tank. We knew we wanted to eliminate what was left of the lawn, add a patio seating area, and re-do the front walkway. Tom came up with a plan, his team implemented it-- and the results were spectacular. They are creative and artistic, as was the subcontractor who provided new railings and built a stand for our milk box. They suggested terrific additional features such as large sitting rocks, a bird bath, irrigation and lighting that we love.
They also also effortlessly accommodated our new requests as the project began to take shape--new and expanded front porch and stairs, new sidewalk on the side of the house, and redoing the planting strip. The crew was great and cleaned up the job site each day. We couldn't be more pleased with the results.

As I was outside planting some multi-bright-colored tulip bulbs in our beautiful front yard, I couldn't help but smile. Thank you again for a wonderful job. Every time we drive up to the house I can't believe that this great yard is ours. Still getting tons of compliments on how pretty the yard looks. 2 different people have said how much they like the wall. You all have been wonderful to work with. Always in touch and responsive to any and every detail. We miss having you around. We'll be seeing you again I am sure.

We are so impressed with the elegant, yet functional, landscaping around our home. They worked with the natural layout of our property to ensure erosion control and created a dry creek bed and waterfall that divert the water during heavy rains. They used a variety of plants that are absolutely beautiful at every season of the year. It has been nine years now since they landscaped our property. It is still just as beautiful today.

Our yard looks so fantastic, and it was a major project. Huge thanks to Tom and his crew (Travis, Jon, etc.) for making everything look so great. We couldn't be happier with the front porch, driveway, retaining walls, walkway and concrete planter boxes. Everyone clearly cared about the final product, not just about finishing the job. It really was a pleasure to have such quality guys working on the job. Great subcontractors, too. Plus, Tom had some great, creative ideas. He's got an excellent eye for detail and aesthetics. We highly recommend!

Environmental Construction, Inc., was recommended by a neighbor to help us with our water feature and we were very satisfied with the people, service and quality of their work! They are absolute professionals who know their business and are committed to making their customers happy. Tom, Lori and Adam are awesome! They actually respond to emails and return phone calls promptly (not my experience with many service providers), they scheduled our project within a short time frame, and the quote and timeline was right on target. They're happy to help over the phone when I have questions or concerns, even after the work has been completed. I feel like they're my partner in maintaining my yard. They are smart, good people who are a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend their services.

Tom, Lori and their team are absolutely a dream to work with. I had interviewed three other landscaping companies until finding Environmental Construction and I hit the jackpot. Not only do they listen to the consumers needs and wishes for a lovely landscape, they are also willing to go the extra extra mile to make sure it is done perfect the first time. They go above and beyond protocol, always.
I would refer this company over and over and over again. In fact, I have referred this company to clients outside of the State because I believe their price and their work far outweighs what is truly out there. Thank you Tom, Lori, Carlos and Adam for making our home absolutely stunning! YOU'RE THE BEST!
