Where Design Meets Precision

Turning Your Sammamish Backyard Vision Into A Plan

Plant a yard on the Sammamish Plateau without accounting for slope, and heavy winter rain will find every low point, eroding beds and pooling where it shouldn't. Follow that with a dry summer, and non-native plants that survived the rain often struggle once it stops.

That swing between wet winters and dry summers is exactly why the City of Sammamish encourages, and in some cases requires, native plants. A design that ignores it looks good for one season and fights you the next.

  • A design built to handle both extremes, not just one
  • Native plants chosen for Sammamish's actual climate swing
  • Grading and drainage planned before construction begins, not after

From Concept to Completion

The Path From Landscape Design Consultation to Build

Here's what our design process looks like, from your first landscape design consultation to the final walkthrough. Most Sammamish projects start at $75,000 and average around $150,000, with design taking two to four weeks depending on project scope.

01 The First Conversation

We talk through your goals, your budget, and what you actually want from the space — including any drainage or grading concerns that come up early on properties like yours on the Plateau.

02 Bringing Your Vision to Life

We build a 3D rendering of your property, refining the plan together until every detail feels right, with native-plant selections and any required tree permits accounted for in the pricing from the start.

03 Clearing the Path to Construction

Significant tree removal or grading may require a permit under city regulations, so we handle that paperwork in-house before the crew ever arrives.

04 Where the Work Gets Done

Your yard gets built exactly as designed, with one point of contact guiding the job from groundbreaking to final walkthrough. Spring through early summer tends to be the best window to start, ahead of the wetter fall months.

I spent a lot of time researching different landscape designers, and without a doubt Angkorscape had the aesthetic I was looking for. The process was collaborative and they nailed what I was looking within my budget restraints.

If I had to sum it up, Angkorscape was worth every penny! Their design, communication, expertise, time and patience made this busy mom so appreciative to have someone do this project with such care. It was one less thing I had to juggle or worry about on top of everything else.

We started with their Conceptual Design to sort out layout and materials, then upgraded to the Build Tier once we were ready to pull the trigger. The in-person visit and site measurements made the plan feel very dialed-in, and the 3D views helped us see the space before anything was built. Smooth handoff into construction and the results match the design.

We just finished a large project and are extremely happy with the results. Every step along the way was organized, quick, and responsive. Starting with a great 3D model, selecting the materials, construction, plant selection, and finally now enjoying the finished backyard we want to thank everyone involved.

We absolutely love the end result - high quality that looks better than we could have expected. Best of all, the project finished on time and on budget. I highly recommend Angkorscape to anyone that’s looking for landscaping work.

I selected them to design and construct all landscaping around my house even they were not the lowest bid, but I believe hiring the same company to do a "design and build" can achieve the best result and quality to reflect the design. They helped me to select stones in reasonable price to meet my budget.

Transformations

Sammamish Landscaping Projects We've Transformed

One recent Sammamish project took an underused backyard and turned it into a space the family now uses daily, blending new plantings, hardscaping, and lighting into a design built around how they actually live outside.

Our Philosophy

What Guides Every Sammamish Project We Take On

Every project follows the same principles, shaped by the Plateau's climate and the way the city itself approaches landscaping.

Built for the Local Environment

Sammamish's development code favors native plants, and we design with that from the first draft, rain gardens and native plantings that work with the Plateau's water instead of against it.

Built to Last

Every element gets the same attention, from how a bed is prepped to how a wall sheds water, because the parts you don't see are what determine whether the yard holds up.

Built Around Your Life

A landscape isn't finished until it works for how your family actually uses it, not just how it photographs on day one.

Beyond The Backyard

Low-Maintenance Landscape Design Sammamish Homeowners Want

The low-maintenance yards homeowners ask for most start with native plants and minimal-maintenance turf areas built for family-friendly outdoor spaces.

  • Native Plant Selection: Choosing native plants that thrive naturally in Sammamish reduces watering, pruning, and the overall workload your lawn requires each season.
  • Layered Planting for Privacy: Layered planting creates a lush, natural privacy without a new fence, softening property lines while still supporting local wildlife.
  • Permeable Hardscaping: Permeable pavers and walkways let rainwater filter back into the soil, reducing runoff while keeping the space fully usable.
  • Low-Voltage Lighting: Low-voltage landscape lighting adds safety and ambiance during darker winter nights without driving up energy costs.

Common Questions

What Sammamish Homeowners Ask About Landscaping

The questions Sammamish homeowners ask most, answered up front.

Do I need a landscape architect, or a landscape designer?

Landscape architects usually handle municipal or large commercial sites, sometimes with stamped drawings. For a residential property like yours, a landscape designer plans and builds the custom design, no added layer needed. Our team brings both disciplines into the residential work we do.

Angkorscape was founded in 2019 and has served Sammamish and Greater Seattle since, completing 548 projects across the region to date.

How do I find the best landscapers in Sammamish?

Plus Icon

The strongest signal is one team owning design through build, so nothing gets lost between a designer and a separate contractor. That's how we work, and our licensing and portfolio back it up.

Are you licensed to work in Sammamish?

Plus Icon

Yes. We hold Washington State Contractor License ANGKOI*750PA, confirmed and current for every Sammamish project.

Do you offer landscape design Sammamish WA services for front yards too?

Yes. Front yard landscaping in Sammamish follows the same design process as backyards, with attention to curb appeal, native plants, and how the space is used.

Do you handle permits for grading or tree removal on my property?

Significant tree removal may require a permit under city regulations, and we manage that process in-house.

How much does a Sammamish landscaping project typically cost?
