Japanese gardens have a distinct set of principles that have developed over more than a thousand years. Pacific Garden Design specializes in bringing this complex and elegant aesthetic to the Inland Northwest landscape. Detailed rockwork, sculptural forms, and evergreen plantings create a peaceful, contemplative landscape that is just as relevant in Spokane or Coeur D’Alene as it would be in Kyoto.

Ecological design can serve many purposes. Whether to protect water resources, lower maintenance, or create habitat, a sustainably-designed landscape is a solid investment in the future. In some areas of the Inland Northwest, including Lake Coeur D’Alene, a low-impact landscape is required for all new construction. A drought-tolerant landscape can reduce the stress on a well in a hot, dry summer or avoid the penalties rates for top-tier water use some water districts have imposed. Pacific Garden Design has the expertise to design beautiful landscapes that function just as well for the environment as for the homeowner.
