Landscaping in Nine Mile Falls, WA
River views, hillside lots and forest right up to the property line. Nine Mile Falls is beautiful ground to build on, and it asks for landscaping that respects the terrain and the fire risk.
Landscaping along the Lake Spokane corridor
From Charles Road to the shoreline, Nine Mile Falls properties tend to be sloped, wooded and private. The best projects here lean into that: terraced patios that capture the view, boulder walls that hold a hillside and look like they were always there, and water features that echo the river below.
Slopes need to be handled correctly. We engineer retaining walls for the load and the drainage behind them, and we grade so runoff goes where it should during spring melt. On lots that back onto Riverside State Park or timber, we design the first thirty feet around the house as defensible space first and decoration second.
What we build in Nine Mile Falls
- Terraced patios and seating walls on sloped lots
- Boulder retaining walls with proper drainage
- Fire-wise landscaping and defensible space around the home
- Water features, ponds and rock bubblers
- Lawn and sod installation where the grade allows
- Site prep, grading and field mowing
Wildfire is part of the design conversation here
We build defensible space the way the fire agencies describe it: a lean, clean zone against the house, spaced and limbed trees beyond it, and materials near the structure that do not carry fire. It is landscaping work, done by the same crew that builds the patio. Read more about our approach on the wildfire defense pages, and ask about it when we come out.
