Trillium Design

Our Mission

At Seattle Garden Design, we've been crafting beautiful and functional outdoor spaces for homeowners in the Seattle area for over 20 years. Our passion lies in creating gardens that seamlessly blend aesthetic appeal with practical considerations, fostering a harmonious connection between nature and your home. We believe that every garden should be a sanctuary, a space where you can relax, entertain, and recharge.

A vital part of our philosophy is promoting sustainable gardening practices. We strive to incorporate environmentally friendly solutions, such as rainwater harvesting and native plant selections, to minimize the ecological footprint of each garden we create. We're particularly dedicated to promoting edible gardening, inspiring our clients to grow fresh, healthy food right in their own backyards.

Designing Gardens for Every Lifestyle

We understand that every homeowner has unique needs and aspirations for their outdoor space. That's why we take a personalized approach to design, working closely with each client to understand their vision and lifestyle. Whether you envision a sprawling garden bursting with vibrant blooms, a tranquil oasis perfect for meditation, or a vibrant space for family gatherings and outdoor entertaining, we'll collaborate with you every step of the way.

Creating Inviting Outdoor Living Spaces

We believe that gardens should be extensions of the home, inviting spaces where you can relax, entertain, and connect with nature. Our designs often incorporate dedicated patios, seating areas, and walkways, creating inviting flow and encouraging you to spend time outdoors.

We incorporate subtle details like cascading water features, thoughtfully placed sculptures, and fire pits to add unique personality and create an ambiance that reflects your individual style. We carefully select materials that complement the architecture of your home, ensuring a cohesive and harmonious look.

A Focus on Functional Beauty

While aesthetics are paramount, we also prioritize functionality in our designs. We consider factors like sunlight exposure, soil conditions, and drainage patterns to ensure that the gardens we create thrive and are easy to maintain.

We're committed to using plant varieties that are well-suited to the Pacific Northwest climate, ensuring year-round interest and beauty. We also incorporate sustainable practices wherever possible, such as organic soil amendments and water-wise irrigation systems.

The Joy of Edible Gardens

Edible gardening is not just about producing delicious food; it's about connecting with nature, learning about how plants grow, and enjoying the fruits (and vegetables!) of your labor. We're passionate about helping our clients create productive and aesthetically pleasing edible gardens.

Our approach to edible gardens is holistic, integrating fruit trees, berry bushes, herbs, vegetables, and even flowering plants that attract pollinators, creating a vibrant and thriving ecosystem. We work with our clients to choose varieties that are well-suited to their space, sun exposure, and personal preferences.

Rain Gardens for a Sustainable Future

Rain gardens are a beautiful and sustainable way to manage rainwater runoff while creating a vibrant, wildlife-friendly oasis. We specialize in designing rain gardens that capture rainwater from rooftops and other hard surfaces, filtering it through lush plantings before it returns to the ground naturally.

Rain gardens are not only environmentally beneficial; they are also visually stunning. We carefully select plants that thrive in moist conditions and bloom in a variety of colors and textures, creating a dynamic and ever-changing landscape.
