Drainage
Drainage Installation
In Seattle, proper drainage is critical for maintaining hardscapes and preventing land damage. Signs of drainage issues include standing water, soggy or dead grass, and bare roots. Homes located at the bottom of a hill often require drain boxes, catch basins, or dry wells. At Seattle Rockeries we work with our clients to create drainage plans, fixing dangerous saturation levels.
Our experts plan, excavate, and install the best drainage options available to match your hardscaping. We offer several excavation and drainage services including rain gardens, driveway drainage, curtain drains, garden channel drains, drainage pipe installation, catch basin installation, stormwater trap installation, and drainage excavation.

Land Planning

We are experts at overcoming potential obstacles and complying with local land-use regulations. Contact us to learn more about geotechnical services and land planning in the Seattle area.
Geotechnical Engineering
Occasionally, a property will have environmental restrictions that require geotechnical services before building a new hardscape. At Seattle Rockeries, we work with trusted geotechnical engineers who understand environmental restrictions and soil constraints.
Geotechnical engineers can conduct slope stability analysis, storm damage assessments, seismic hazard evaluations, liquefaction mitigation, percolation testing, and subgrade stabilization.
If you live in an environmentally critical area, we’ll work with a geotechnical engineer to plan a beautiful hardscape for your property that is compliant with local regulations. Contact us to learn more about the geotechnical engineers with whom we work in the Seattle area.
Damage Evaluation
Occasionally landscapes can shift, resulting in damage to hardscapes, pipelines, tanks, and foundations. A geotechnical engineer can evaluate areas where damage has occurred from substandard soil conditions.
For properties with a greater risk of movement in terrain, an engineer will often look for soil liquefaction. This leads to lateral soil shifting, causing movement above and below ground. Contact us to learn more about working with a geotechnical engineer to evaluate new or potential damage to the soil of your property.
Retaining Wall Planning
At Seattle Rockeries, we create detailed plans for retaining walls. Some hardscapes in environmentally critical areas require extensive planning and design. When necessary, we work with trusted geotechnical engineers who understand soil constraints, property size, zoning requirements, and environmental restrictions. Together we can plan a beautiful hardscape for your property.
We identify the ideal location for retaining wall construction and measure out a base. Additionally, we determine proper wall height, identify structural requirements, calculate the total wall volume, and supply any necessary backfill soil to stabilize the rockery or block retaining wall. Contact us to learn more about our retaining wall planning services for your property in the Seattle area.
Structural Investigations
Seattle Rockeries works with trusted geotechnical engineers to audit the condition of the soil that surrounds your foundation or hardscape. If you live in an environmentally critical area or have terrain that is more susceptible to movement, it is recommended to conduct a structural investigation before constructing a new hardscape. This ensures that we are building on stable ground. Contact us to learn more about our structural investigation services for your property in the Seattle area.

Subbase
A subbase refers to the natural material underneath pavers, asphalt, or concrete. The subbase supports the structure on top so that the structure can support weight and will not settle or dip over time. If your property needs subgrade work to install a new paver driveway or rockery, our machinery can dig and excavate the subgrade. Contact us to learn more about our subgrade services in the Seattle area.
