Boulder retaining wall and hardscape by Custom Creations Landscape in the Cheney area

Landscaping in Cheney, WA

Basalt close to the surface, open ground and a steady west wind. Cheney landscapes have to be built for the West Plains, and we build them that way.

Landscaping for Cheney and the West Plains

Cheney sits on the channeled scablands west of Spokane, and it shows the moment you put a shovel in. Basalt outcrops, thin topsoil over rock, and wind that dries out anything that is not established. It is also some of the most striking ground in the county, and the right design works with it instead of fighting it.

Boulder retaining walls are a natural fit here, using stone that looks like it came from the site. Where the rock is shallow, we bring in the soil depth a lawn or a planting bed actually needs, and we set irrigation to keep up with the wind and the exposure. For larger properties and acreage, our bobcat, tilling and field mowing work handles the site prep and the seasonal cleanup.

What Cheney homeowners call us for

  • Boulder and block retaining walls on sloped or rocky lots
  • Patios and fire pits sheltered from the prevailing wind
  • New lawns and sod with soil brought in to the right depth
  • Water features and bubblers that bring sound into an open yard
  • Field mowing, rototilling and bobcat work on acreage
