Design, build and year-round care from one company that knows local soil, how the rain moves through a property, and how a garden behaves in its third year.
They do a great job and are very responsive which is hard to find in the landscaping industry.
Most people arrive needing one of two things: a property kept under control, or something built. Start on the side that matches yours. Plenty of clients end up using both.
Keep the property under control
A fixed visit on a fixed day, weekly through quarterly. Mowing and edging, bed work, pruning as the plants need it, and every hard surface blown off on the way out.
Build something that holds
Drawn from the grade, the soil and the light of your property, then built in-house rather than handed to an outside installer. Patios, walls, drainage, planting and irrigation, scoped in writing before anyone digs.
Projects are scoped realistically, scheduled with intention, and built by our own people rather than handed to an installer who was never at the walk-through.
Grade, soil, drainage, and where the sun actually falls across the day. We ask how you use the space now and what you have given up on.
A plan and a price with materials named, plant selections chosen for the light they will get, and a schedule you can hold us to.
We build it, then we maintain it, at whatever frequency you choose. Landscapes are most fragile in their first two seasons, which is when having one company across both matters most.
A hand-drawn plan, a dry river rock stream with boulders and a stone dish, a curved paver path to the fire pit, natural stone steppers, low-profile lighting and planted containers on the deck.

Plan-It Vision is led by Trevor Kokenge, who studied landscape architecture in college and has passed the Concrete Masonry and Hardscapes Association certification courses covering paver and retaining wall design and installation. That training decides the grading, the drainage and the base work, which is where hardscape either lasts or does not.
He walks every property himself, draws the plan and writes the quote. The work is carried out by our own people to the standard he sets, and the company that builds a landscape is the company that looks after it afterwards. In business here since 2012.
Bed work, pruning and blowing off happen on every visit whatever the rhythm. Mowing is the one that does not stretch, which is why longer gaps suit properties with little or no lawn.

Recurring maintenance runs in Seattle, Shoreline, Edmonds and Mountlake Terrace. Design and construction work goes wider, across King and south Snohomish counties.
Most of our service area sits within King and south Snohomish counties. The ground is genuinely different from one city to the next, and so is the work: bluff drainage in Shoreline, slope and walls on Mercer Island, flat heavy soil in Lynnwood.

Most recurring maintenance clients start within one to two weeks, depending on the schedule. Design and build projects are scheduled by season and usually begin four to eight weeks out.
Bed raking and weeding, plant trimming and pruning as each plant needs it, and blowing off decks, driveways, patios and walkways, every visit. Lawn mowing and edging on the weekly and every 2 weeks plans. Mulch installation is part of a cleanup job rather than a recurring visit.
Weekly, every 2 weeks, every 4 weeks, or quarterly. Most clients are on a visit every 2 weeks. Mowing runs on the weekly and every 2 weeks plans only, because grass does not wait a month, so the longer plans suit properties with little or no lawn. Frequency can move with the season, so properties get more attention through spring growth and fewer visits through winter dormancy.
Yes. Mowing stops over winter, but the rest of the gardening work carries on as the property needs it. Winter is a good time to prune trees and shrubs, rake leaves and cut back dormant perennials. Scheduling adjusts to rainfall, site access and ground conditions.
Design, construction and one-off work such as cleanups run across King and south Snohomish counties, including Seattle, Shoreline, Edmonds, Bothell, Kenmore, Bellevue, Kirkland and Lynnwood. Recurring maintenance plans are a tighter radius: Seattle, Shoreline, Edmonds and Mountlake Terrace.
Yes. All work is performed under current licensing and insurance coverage for residential and commercial landscapes in Washington.
Yes. We take the smaller projects many landscape construction companies turn down, including single plantings, bed repairs and one-off cleanups.
Yes. We build the landscapes we draw, and we also install plans drawn by other landscape designers. If a job is outside what we do, we will tell you and point you to someone who handles it.
Yes. Multi-phase work can cover site prep, installation and ongoing care under a single scope. That reduces delays and keeps the project details in one place.
Yes. Drainage work includes French drains, dry creek beds and regrading to move water away from structures and out of the low spots where it collects.
It depends on scope and site conditions. Small jobs may finish in one day, while larger builds are phased across several visits to manage access and drying time.
