Custom Landscape Design
Refined outdoor spaces, designed for how you live
We design outdoor spaces that feel like a natural extension of your home—where custom masonry and plantings come together with quiet intention. From early concepts through final installation, we guide the process with care. The result is a landscape that feels settled, enduring, and entirely at home in its surroundings.
A more cohesive way to approach your landscape
We merge structural masonry with deliberate planting plans, creating an environment built for your daily routines.
We approach your property as a whole.
Many outdoor spaces are built in pieces—added over time without a clear connection. The result can feel disjointed, no matter how beautiful each element is on its own.
By bringing together natural stone, grading, and curated plant selections within a single vision, we create an environment that flows intuitively. One that supports both gathering and stillness, without feeling overdesigned.
- Spaces to gather. Outdoor kitchens, fire features, and shaded areas that feel naturally placed
- Ease of movement. Walkways and terraces that guide you through the landscape
- A sense of privacy. Layered plantings that create softness and quiet separation
A considered approach, shaped by experience
Established Expertise
For over two decades, we’ve worked across Northwest Washington and the surrounding areas, helping homeowners navigate the process of transforming their outdoor spaces. Our work is grounded in both design and execution—balancing creative vision with a deep understanding of site conditions, materials, and long-term performance. Every decision is made with the full landscape in mind, so the finished space feels cohesive, functional, and lasting.
Spaces that invite you to stay a little longer
Custom Outdoor Living Spaces
Outdoor living should feel effortless.
We design kitchens, fire features, and gathering areas that are scaled and positioned with intention—so they feel comfortable, usable, and naturally connected to the rest of the landscape.
Nothing feels forced. Everything has its place.
Tenleytown Lawn & Landscape were fantastic from start to finish. Their communication was clear and consistent, and the final results matched the design perfectly. The team was professional, kept us informed throughout the entire process, and even coordinated seamlessly with our electrician and hot tub dealer. We couldn’t be happier and would 100% recommend them.
Where structure and softness come into balance
Hardscape + Planting
When stonework and planting are approached separately, the landscape can feel divided.
We design them together.
Natural materials and strategically composed plantings are layered in a way that feels cohesive and grounded—each element supporting the next. The result is a landscape that feels composed, rather than assembled.
After just the first day of cleanup, my yard looked totally different. They did such a good job that during the project, I actually expanded the scope and had them enlarge my back porch and cover it with flagstone. They completely overhauled my yard, resized existing planting beds, planted flowers, shrubs, trees, and sod, mulched, and trimmed existing shrubs. It looks amazing as does my new porch. In fact, I've had more than one person comment on how great my yard looks.
Designed for interest, in every season
Planting Design
A garden should feel intentional beyond a single moment of bloom.
We create artfully arranged plant palettes that bring together evergreen structure, seasonal movement, and native perennials suited to your property. The goal is a landscape that holds its form—quietly evolving, but never feeling empty.
They asked for my input, but also added what they thought, and why, which helped me understand why certain plants and trees were better than others and what to expect. My yards, front and back are beautiful, and cannot stop looking at them!
What’s beneath the surface matters
Groundwork
A lasting landscape begins below grade.
We carefully evaluate how water moves across your property, integrating grading, drainage systems, and foundational work into the design from the start. These unseen elements protect the integrity of everything that follows.
Before aesthetic work begins, we analyze the exact volume of water movement across your terrain. We then integrate concealed drainage solutions into the foundational blueprints, ensuring your finished terraces and plantings remain secure during heavy rainfall.
Tenleytown did a really wonderful job installing sod, completing a gravel parking area, installing a brick pathway a rain garden to help mitigate some runoff issues at the edge of existing patio. Estimate was really competitive, and Jess was wonderful to work with and the team was diligent and quick when work got started. So pleased with how the project turned out , really transformed by backyard into something wonderful. Highly recommend and look forward to working with the company again!
A clear understanding before anything is built
Design Visualization
It’s easier to make confident decisions when you can truly see the space.
Our 3D models allow you to experience your landscape—understanding scale, flow, and placement before construction begins. Together, we refine the details until everything feels right.
A space that feels as though it has always belonged
A Settled Landscape
Our goal is to create a sense of ease in that process.
Starting a landscape project can come with uncertainty—especially when it’s hard to imagine how everything will come together.
Through thoughtful design and careful execution, we shape environments where every element—from natural stone to purpose driven plantings—feels considered and connected. The result is a landscape that feels calm, complete, and enduring.
