Your grounds are part of your brand. Ruben’s designs, builds and maintains commercial landscaping in Bellingham and across Whatcom County, combining plantings with structures like walkways, patios and retaining walls.
Landscaping in the Pacific Northwest
Washington’s weather varies a lot, from the wet, mild west to harsher conditions east of the mountains. Good landscaping here means choosing plants and soil that suit the site, planning for frequent rain with good drainage and erosion control, and designing for the setting, whether that is a tight urban lot or a rural or coastal property.
