Our Approach

At Pistils Landscape Design, we believe the outdoor spaces we inhabit are central to our daily experiences and quality of life. As we aspire to craft truly exceptional landscapes, we work to synthesize the personality of our clients, the character of the architecture and the uniqueness of the landscape. Building trust and fostering a sense of close collaboration are vital to our process. Whether working with a client directly, or partnering with an architect or designer, our greatest joy comes from realizing the great, inherent potential of a landscape. We actively engage with our clients, learning about their lifestyles and goals for their outdoor spaces, brainstorming together to ensure the end result is uniquely theirs. As a business, we’re committed to engaging in a way that is both ethical and honest, producing a result that is responsive to a client’s vision and one that achieves the highest level of quality.

Award-Winning
Landscape Design

Our experienced and highly collaborative design team, led by a licensed landscape architect, achieves the needs of our clients in thoughtful, inventive ways. With an unmatched knowledge of hardscape materials and flora that thrive in our region, our designers are well-suited to take on any project in the Pacific Northwest. Our team knows a successful design begins with a deep understanding of how the built can harmoniously integrate with its natural surroundings. Respecting the “Genius of Place” concept — working with, rather than against, the unique character of each site — informs all aspects of our work.

Exceptional
Landscape Construction

With our seasoned landscape construction managers and highly skilled masons, carpenters, steel pros and plant specialists, our installation team is fully equipped to handle all elements of a landscape renovation, no matter the scope or complexity. Throughout the process, our project managers overlap regularly with our clients and our design team, assuring the details developed during the design and planning phases are realized during installation.

Landscape Design + Build:

Full Integration

At Pistils, we firmly believe that collaboration is the key to realizing a truly exceptional landscape. This begins with active and attentive listening to our clients’ aspirations during the design phases, then continues seamlessly, with regular check-ins with them through the final steps of the installation. Equally important is the in-house culture of close, daily communication between our design and install teams, to be sure no details are missed on our way to a successful landscape design + build.

Client Reviews & Comments

  • We were very pleased with the finished result of our backyard remodel. The design was an evolutionary process that allowed the initial ideas to migrate to a final product that was quite different than where we started. This helped us get to a design we really liked. We found their work to be of high quality and displayed the work of seasoned craftsmen. They brought an artistry to the project.

  • We were very impressed with the level of quality and craft in Pistils' work. The attention to details, especially in the deck and the custom railing to match the front of our house was impeccable. We highly recommend Pistils to anyone wanting landscape/hardscape and design help.

    Maggie J.

  • We especially liked working with Pistils because of their end-to-end services, from the thoughtful and excellent design team all the way through the high quality, thorough installation work. The Pistils crew spent several months working in our yard and always treated our home like it was their own. We've received endless compliments from neighbors and friends about our new yard. We would strongly recommend Pistils to anyone looking for landscaping design and build services!

  • Big shout-out to our Pistils team! Estimated 5 weeks for the project but polished it off in 3. Did a very fine job installing a bluestone patio, steel retaining walls and a steel cable / cedar fence - it looks amazing. If you're looking for a high-end finish and experience, we highly recommend Pistils.

  • The entire Pistils team is incredible to work with. They completed a comprehensive master plan and worked with our budget to execute the first phase which included a new fence, shed, paver path, gravel firepit area, and all new plants/trees for our backyard. The quality of communication, design, craftsmanship and overall process was excellent. It really was a wonderful process working with Glenn, David, Mikiel and the crew and we absolutely recommend them.

    Gwen S.

  • The Pistils Team was hired to do a comprehensive overhaul of my entire property including: new concrete patios, custom stone retention and freestanding walls, plantings, lighting and irrigation. Their initial design was deeply considered and the result has totally elevated the experience of the property. I couldn't be happier with the result and I would definitely recommend them to anyone seeking a landscape designer or contractor.
