Hills and slopes
Many lots fall away from the house. That affects deck height, footing locations, stair runs and whether fence panels step or follow the grade.

Local conditions
What building around here usually involves
Every yard is different, but a few conditions come up again and again across the region.
Wet ground
Soil stays damp much of the year. We look at where water runs and plan footings and post bases so wood isn't sitting in it.
Shade and big trees
Tall conifers mean needles, slower drying and roots near the surface. Material choice and post placement both take that into account.
Not sure you're in range?
The lists above are a guide, not a boundary. If you live somewhere in King County that isn't named, send your ZIP code with an estimate request, and we'll tell you honestly whether we can take the project on and how scheduling would work for your location.
Visiting homes outside the city
Larger lots outside the city often have more room for material deliveries but longer runs of fence or taller decks on sloped ground, so we plan the visit with enough time to walk the whole area.
Inside the city, older neighborhoods bring their own quirks: tight lot lines, retaining walls, alley access and houses built long before today's codes. We factor those into layout and scheduling from the first visit.
Wherever you are, the same approach applies: a site visit, a written estimate, and help figuring out which permitting office covers your address.
Tight access? Narrow side yards, long stairs from the street and shared driveways are common in older neighborhoods. Let us know when you book so we can plan deliveries.
