Garden Landscapes.

The service list covers garden design, landscape installation, hardscaping and patio construction, planting, drip irrigation installation and garden maintenance. Steel is the hardscaping material the business names, which tends to show up as clean edging lines between beds, gravel and lawn. Converting overhead spray zones to drip is a recurring job, often paired with a lawn removal. The company describes the goal as a long-lasting, manageable garden. The state lists Richard Lambert as a principal since 2014, the year the business was established, and the crew is one to three people. Because the owner is on the job and the focus is design and installation, Garden Landscapes fits a homeowner who wants one person carrying a yard from concept to finished planting, whether that's a whole front yard redone or a new patio and path tied into existing beds. Large commercial or municipal grounds are outside that focus, and so are recurring seasonal maintenance contracts. Those are better handled by a larger maintenance outfit. Spokane's housing stock shapes landscape work more than people expect. Older neighborhoods like the South Hill and the Perry District have mature trees, shade, root competition and sometimes buried old sprinkler lines or failing concrete walks, so a redesign often starts with removal. Newer subdivisions on the edges of town tend to have thin topsoil over compacted fill and wide-open sun. Across both, dry summers and freeze-thaw winters favor native and drought-tolerant plants, drip lines laid where they'll drain before the cold, and hardscape set on a properly compacted base so it doesn't heave.
