We worked with Gabe, Martin, Leo and Leah (among others) to completely remake our backyard. We couldn’t be happier with the result! Gabe and Martin walked through before the start of the project to ensure they understood how to translate the plans into reality. Sage and Stone also worked with us on options to reduce the overall scope and budget, for instance suggesting we could lower costs a bit by doing some of the demolition and prep work ourselves (which we did).

The project started on schedule and the team reliably showed up every single day for the next ten weeks. We had them remove and create a new retaining wall with Techo-Blocs, relocate a freestanding structure onto new footings, install pavers under the structure, and install a new composite deck. The team also leveled out and rebuilt a small path in the yard, evening out a slope and creating a more graceful grade by installing large 4’ black granite steps. Everything was edged using Colmet to keep the lines clean and they even installed a freestanding outlet in the yard to bring power to the seating area.

There were minor adjustments along the way and the team showed great attention to detail. For instance, the freestanding structure posts required a skirt to conceal the post brackets. These were hand scribed onsite and featured backcut cedar with an elegant slope, cleanly mitrered and sealed joints, and most importantly, sealed undersides to protect them from water damage. Small details like aligning paver joints with the natural lines in the steps or landing, finding materials to patch up areas of the house that were newly exposed by the updated deck profile, and concealing electrical lines were most appreciated. When the inevitable issues arose, Martin walked us through the situation and we quickly reached a suitable outcome that he effectively managed.

I can’t stress enough how hard everyone worked and that effort consistently carried to the end of the day until they cleaned up the jobsite. Tools were neatly arranged and materials were moved into inconspicuous places before the crew left everyday.

The yard looks fantastic and we love spending time out there. We’re extremely happy with their work and would love to work with them again! Highly...

This is our third time working with Sage and Stone. They transformed our first house almost 10 years ago and our commercial property about five years ago. Now we are in a new house and we knew exactly who we would call to help bring our exterior landscaping up to a really nice standard. We are so pleased with the results. Sage and Stone have people who are proficient in design, plant selection, stone work, carpentry, and electrical and plumbing. ln addition, Sage and Stone uncovered an up-until-then unknown sink hole and associated drainage issue. They were able to fix the issue and repair the sink hole. Whatever we can dream they can create. In particular, I wanted to note that the people at the company are truly amazing. They are positive, extremely knowledgeable, good communicators, and hard workers. We want to give a special shout out to Sage and Stone's lead designer, Katie. She helped us envision our dream yard. Not only was she very good at creating an aesthetically pleasing design that incorporated our various desires, but she has such a deep knowledge in how plants will fair on different parts of the property due to sun exposure and time of year that we really know that everything will look great...

We had a great experience partnering with everyone at Sage and Stone! The team worked with us for over a year to design and deliver an in-budget landscaping and planting schedule, one that met the design goals -- and navigated tricky new tree regulations -- for our Seattle remodel.

The time we've spent with Katie on plant-selection and care was lovely from start to finish, and we receive complements from passers-by almost daily. After you've finished, we also recommend booking a few hours with Katie to develop the knowledge and confidence needed to care for your new space.

After working with dozens of contractors over the past few years, we can confidently report that Sage and Stone are one of the good ones. We wouldn't hesitate to work with them on our...
