We believe every Seattle homeowner deserves honest answers before they pick up the phone. Here’s a straightforward look at what custom outdoor projects cost in the greater Puget Sound — and what drives those numbers up or down.
Most contractors won’t publish pricing. We do — because we believe informed clients make the best partners. When you know what to expect going in, the entire process is smoother for everyone.
These are real ranges based on projects we’ve completed for homeowners across Seattle, Mercer Island, Bellevue, Kirkland, and the greater Puget Sound. Your final number depends on your specific site, materials, and scope — which is exactly what our complimentary consultation is designed to determine.
Seattle’s most requested project. Entry-level composite decks for a standard-sized home start around $18,000. Mid-range builds with Trex or Fiberon decking, built-in seating, and cable railings typically run $30,000–$55,000. Larger multi-level decks with premium hardwoods, custom lighting, and architectural details on Mercer Island or Bellevue estates reach $75,000 and above.
Concrete paver patios for a standard Seattle backyard start around $12,000. Natural stone — bluestone, travertine, flagstone — typically adds 30–50% to the base cost. Full outdoor living spaces with kitchen areas, fire features, pergolas, and premium stone on Sammamish or Woodinville properties regularly reach $40,000–$55,000+.
As Seattle’s authorized San Juan Fiberglass Pool dealer and installer, we bring world-class pool installations to Puget Sound homeowners. Entry-level fiberglass pool installations with basic coping and equipment start around $55,000. Full installations with custom surrounds, automation systems, water features, and integrated outdoor living areas on Mercer Island or Bellevue properties reach $90,000–$120,000+.
Seattle’s hilly terrain makes retaining walls one of our most requested services. Simple block walls for modest grade changes start around $8,000. Engineered walls with natural stone, multiple tiers, drainage systems, and integrated planting beds — common on steep Laurelhurst, Queen Anne, and Magnolia properties — range from $20,000–$40,000+.
Standard cedar privacy fencing starts around $5,000 for a typical Seattle lot. Custom cedar or hardwood fencing with decorative caps and gates runs $8,000–$15,000. Architectural cable railings, powder-coated steel, or custom aluminum systems for high-end Kirkland and Bellevue properties typically range from $12,000–$25,000+.
Complete outdoor transformations combining multiple elements — deck, patio, retaining walls, landscaping, lighting, fencing — designed and built by one team. Entry-level full builds start around $35,000. Mid-range transformations for Seattle-area homes typically run $75,000–$125,000. Full estate builds on Mercer Island, Medina, and West Bellevue properties regularly exceed $150,000–$250,000.
Steep slopes, difficult access, existing demo, drainage issues, and soil conditions all affect cost. A flat Sammamish lot costs less to build on than a steep Magnolia hillside — even for the same project scope.
Composite vs. hardwood. Concrete pavers vs. natural bluestone. Standard cedar vs. architectural cable. Material choices are often the single biggest variable in final project cost — and where we can help you make smart tradeoffs.
Size, elevation changes, structural requirements, integrated features (lighting, built-ins, water features), and permit complexity all factor into the final number. More complexity means more craft — and a more extraordinary result.
We don’t ask for full payment upfront — and you shouldn’t accept that from any contractor. Our payment schedule is structured around project milestones so you always pay for work that’s been done, not work that’s been promised.
Before you hire anyone for an outdoor project in Seattle, ask these three questions:
Tell us about your space. We’ll visit your Seattle-area property, assess the site, and give you an honest picture of what your project will cost — before you commit to anything.
