Carrie and Trevor took detailed notes and asked many questions about our vision and how we wanted to use our space. Our yard is small, but primely located, backing to a green belt and walking trail on two sides. The designs Urban Oasis created, made the most of our lot. They maximized space in a new patio area, where originally, we had a deck that cut the yard in half. Our new second story covered deck is positioned so it really feels like we are sitting in the middle of the woods. We have nicknamed this area “The Lodge”. > Once the project started, we were regularly updated on progress through weekly meetings with Carrie and or Trevor. All changes were recorded and signed-off on with a change order form. We appreciated that the project was a growing, living, creative endeavor. We feel like the final results were the absolute best possible outcome and they miraculously stayed on schedule even through Covid restrictions. > The crews who did the work for both the patio and deck areas were first class. Valentine was the crew leader for the patio side of the work. His attention to detail and craftsmanship was extraordinary. At the end of each day, he and his crew made sure that everything was cleaned up and stored away neatly, so in the evenings it did not feel like we were living in the middle of a construction zone (even though we were). Those courtesies made 5 months of construction more bearable. Nathan was the crew leader for the deck side of the project. He was very accommodating and receptive to questions all through the project and incredibly knowledgeable. When city inspectors and outside contractors came through, each of them marveled at the level of exactness and craftsmanship put into this structure. Several of the contractors who work with multiple companies commented to us that they can tell a marked difference in an Urban Oasis project compared to some others because of the precision and quality of the structure. They do not cut corners and there is obvious pride in their work. > I still cannot believe something so beautiful is right here in my back yard. We are out grilling 2-5 days a week now, even through the winter. In January, there is no better way to end a hard workday than snuggled under an electric blanket, with the fire going and the heaters on full blast, listening to the rain come down and a nice glass of wine or hot tea in hand. Almost every morning this summer, I have eaten breakfast out on the deck, listening to birds sing as the sun peaks through the trees. Seriously, Living. My. Best. Life. > > We have gone through a kitchen, ground floor and two bathroom remodels. Out of the three companies we have now worked with, Urban Oasis was the most organized and creative with the best attention to detail. They got things right the first time and we were always in the loop so there were never any unexpected surprises. We highly recommend Urban Oasis! **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Liz, > Thank you so very much for taking the time to write this review for Urban Oasis. I speak for Trevor, myself and our entire team when I say that building your new backyard and outdoor living area was truly a pleasure. It makes us so happy to hear that you are enjoying it to the fullest. We wish you continued enjoyment and cannot wait to get professional photos taken - which we will look forward to sharing with you. > Carrie, Trevor & the Urban Oasis Team ### All 56 reviews **★★★★★ — ts98136, May 2026** > Excellent high quality execution, everything done on time, very good attention to details, flexible during any issues, and very good communication. **★★★★★ — Neel P, April 2026** > We chose Urban Oasis, because of their positive reviews and pics on Houzz, to renovate our backyard. Initially, we did not have a clear picture of the renovation in mind but just a bunch of requirements and inspiration pics. Trevor, the owner, took note of all our considerations and constraints to come up with a design that incorporated all of our asks into a seamless vision. Then, what truly stood out over the course of the project was their professionalism and commitment to getting things right! > > Trevor was a pleasure to work with. He handled the entire process with composure and integrity, always focusing on delivering a result that felt cohesive and elevated rather than simply checking boxes. He has a very strong team behind him that approaches their work with both skill and professionalism. > Even when a couple of times we needed to recalibrate, Trevor approached it with patience and a solutions-oriented mindset. And ultimately we achieved everything within the given time frame and budget. No mean feat! > What we ended up with is a beautiful backyard that feels incredibly satisfying to live in and enjoy! It reflects not just strong execution, but a team that takes pride in their work and stands behind it. We recommend Urban Oasis with pleasure and will not hesitate to hire them for all our future projects! **★★★★★ — HU-194448837, April 2026** > Trevor and his team helped design and build our backyard deck, patio, and landscaping into the backyard of our dreams! > > We went into the project with some ideas and they helped us shape those into a plan that gave us the entertaining space we wanted while leaving plenty of room for our kids to play. It was wonderful working with them to make that vision a reality. The crew was friendly, skilled and considerate of us and our neighbors, and they did a fantastic job on the build. > > A few months after project completion we discovered a very minor issue and Trevor came right out to get it corrected, we really appreciated that they stood by their work. > > Our backyard went from an unusable space to our favorite place to spend sunny days and we're so happy with the work Urban Oasis did. **★★★★★ — HU-143007759, April 2026** > Highly Recommend Urban Oasis > Our backyard deck was failing, and the original landscaping simply didn’t make good use of our property. We wanted something that truly fit our home—a Pacific Northwest vibe, a covered area for rainy days, sunny space for warm afternoons, and more privacy for ourselves and neighbors. > From the very beginning, the team at Urban Oasis impressed us. They listened carefully to our ideas and came back with a thoughtful design that felt like it had always belonged to the house. Even better, they handled everything—permitting, subcontractors, scheduling, and communication—making the entire process seamless and stress-free. > Communication was clear and consistent, changes were easy to discuss, and costs for upgrades were always transparent. What really stood out, though, was the quality of their work. Subcontractors, friends in the construction trades, and even inspectors all independently commented on the quality of work. > It truly was a great experience from start to finish, and we couldn’t be happier with the result—or the people we worked with along the way. If you’re considering an outdoor remodel, Urban Oasis comes highly recommended. **★★★★★ — Katlyn Stevens, Nov. 2025** > I cannot say enough good things about Urban Oasis! From our initial consultation with Trevor to the final walkthrough, their team demonstrated professionalism, creativity, and an impressive depth of knowledge about Pacific Northwest landscaping. > What sets Urban Oasis apart is their versatility and attention to detail. Trevor truly understands the unique climate and ecosystem of the Seattle area, and his expertise with native plants created a landscape that not only looks stunning but thrives naturally in our environment. The thoughtful plant selections have attracted local birds and pollinators, making our yard feel like a true urban sanctuary. > Our project included both hardscaping and a custom outdoor kitchen, and the quality of workmanship is outstanding. Every element feels carefully planned and expertly executed – from the modern design aesthetic to the structural integrity of the built elements. The team handled our project’s complexity with ease, staying on schedule and keeping us informed throughout the process. > What impressed me most was their ability to balance our vision with practical recommendations. They listened carefully to what we wanted while offering valuable insights that enhanced the final result beyond what we initially imagined. > If you’re looking for a landscape company in the Seattle area that combines artistic vision with technical expertise and reliable execution, Urban Oasis is the clear choice. Our outdoor space has been completely transformed, and we couldn’t be happier! **★★★★★ — Roberto Sinclair, Aug. 2024** > We originally sought out Urban Oasis Design & Construction to replace 3 large decks (~1500 sq ft). When Trevor (deck and hardscape construction) came out to give us a bid, he stood out from the competition because he was genuine, friendly, asked good questions, provided valuable feedback, showed genuine interest in our goals, and flagged a few challenges that would require additional consideration. After our initial design consultation with Carrie and Sarah (landscape designer), we decided to have them also rework the beds and pathways surrounding the decks (doubling the scope of work). We worked closely with Trevor, Sarah and their crews throughout the project, and it was a great experience! > > They designed and installed three large decks requiring engineering, drainage, replacement of two 12-foot tall telephone-sized poles supporting our breezeway and massive 8-foot deep footers to satisfy Geotech requirements. They also designed and installed the landscaping around the decks which included new plantings, a water feature, irrigation system, lighting, re-build of a large planter, redesigned firepit area, gorgeous flagstone pathways and steps connecting everything. They also re-graded our driveway for better drainage, installed a dry space under one of the decks, and created custom housing for our pool equipment that helps maximize the views from one of the decks and keeps the equipment out of sight. > > Our project was completed in three phases spread over a couple of years and was filled with lots of twists and turns that were handled with skill and integrity. They are professional, fun to work with, and great problem solvers! They helped us maximize our views, got our plans through the maze that is permitting, and most importantly, created beautiful, solidly engineered spaces we love to use! > > Communication is key for these kinds of projects to work well, and they excelled in this department. We really appreciated the in-person site visits with Trevor and Sarah for status updates and questions. Their willingness to listen to our questions and problem solve with us is a rare find and resulted in some of the unique features we now enjoy. Sarah provided written recaps of our meetings and consistently followed up on requests and next steps. She also put together a plant list for us with links to information about each plant’s care - nice touch! Carrie was great at keeping the project and billing on track, providing change orders to the contract and emailing updates on their status. Absolutely, fantastic people to work with! > > We would definitely hire them again, and we highly recommend their services to anyone wanting to create a beautiful outdoor space they will love – especially if your project has unique challenges that requires creativity, engineering, craftsmanship, and reliable execution. We truly love our new outdoor spaces … and so do our friends and family! > > Thank you to the entire Urban Oasis team!! **★★★★★ — Leigh Anne, Aug. 2024** > Urban Oasis recently designed and completed our backyard renovation, and we are thrilled with the outcome! We wanted a beautiful space to enjoy and a secure area for our dog to play, and Urban Oasis delivered on all fronts. They provided a range of design options that suited our needs and budget, guiding us through the decision-making process with expertise and patience. > > Throughout the project, the team was incredibly responsive and always on time. They managed every detail meticulously, ensuring everything was executed perfectly. Despite my frequent questions, they remained patient and thorough, addressing all my concerns with professionalism. > > Our new backyard is now a beautiful, fenced-in area where we can relax and play with our dog.. We highly recommend their services to anyone looking to enhance their outdoor space! **★★★★★ — Bradford Volk, July 2024** > We hired Urban Oasis to do a complete overhaul of our front yard, after having a tree fall incident destroy much of it. There also was a dated look that we had been wanting to rehab for the last few years. From start to finish, they really did a superb job. Great knowledge, very good with communication, always responsive to calls/questions/email inquiries, and stayed on time throughout the project. This project included removal of several large rocks/boulders, installation of a large retaining wall, a complete reworking of our sprinkler system, some concrete work, and some steel edging. We really couldn't have asked for a better experience. The team of Carrie, Trevor and Sarah worked really well together! **★★★★★ — Amy B, July 2024** > We had the pleasure of working with Trevor, Carrie, and Sarah through Urban Oasis (UO) on a big backyard remodeling project this spring on the Eastside. We started the design process last year with UO, but decided to wait on construction until March 2024 so that we wouldn’t have construction in our yard over the summer. We were removing a patio, building a new Trex deck, adding an outdoor kitchen, a structured pitched roof, a hot tub, landscaping, and turning a bay window into a large entry with a bi-fold door. We also are located on a greenbelt that had strict set-backs, so we had to contend with permits and some challenging engineering. > > With that in mind, I cannot say enough good things about working with this firm. Trevor was hands on and responsive with our questions through the process. Personally, I appreciated UO’s aesthetic perspective. While they offered us plenty of choices in design and materials, I loved being able to trust their opinion based on what they have seen work in the past and the particularities of our property. > > Even when Trevor wasn’t on site, UO’s carpenters were skilled and knowledgeable. They were always willing to stop and talk us through issues as they arose, or to provide recommendations on design choices. We definitely had some issues come up–it would be hard not to have them with a project of this scale–but UO was consistently willing to work with us to find a solution. For example, a small side window was cracked during the process of moving some lumber into the yard, but UO took full responsibility for the issue and had the window repaired quickly. > > We really appreciated working with a design and build firm also because it meant 1. They had a network of contractors and referrals in place for us when we needed electricians, gas plumbing, painters, etc, so we didn’t have to find additional vendors on our own; 2. They had a strong sense of what materials would work best in our space and could point us to trusted brands; 3. We could adjust design as it was evolving rather than be stuck with an initial blueprint that was hard to imagine until it was put into place. We also felt each member of their team had a strong sense of craftsmanship and wanted to create the best product possible. Because of that, they would re-do things or make adjustments rather than cut corners or find short-cuts. I loved that they seemed to care as much about the outcome as we did! > > In sum, we had a fantastic experience working with UO. As promised, our deck was ready to go by Memorial Day 2024. They delivered on all of their timelines, worked with us when issues arose, and created something truly spectacular for our family to enjoy for years to come. **★★★★★ — terekaulfus, Nov. 2023** > Urban Oasis did a beautiful job with the design and build of my project and I recommend them without reservation. They constructed a partially covered 2 level deck and terraced my very sloped back yard, including pathways on 3 levels and a beautiful waterfall. The craftsmanship of the building and artistry of the stonework for the terracing and waterfall are excellent. It was a pleasure working with Carrie, Trevor and the whole construction/landscaping crew. > > Note about photos: I am an avid gardener will be completing the planting of the area myself. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Tere, > Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review for our company. We all enjoyed working with you to create your new outdoor living area, deck and gardens. Thanks also for posting photos! > We look forward to taking some more when the planting is in and can't wait to see how you further transform the spaces. > Wishing you much enjoyment of your new backyard! > Carrie, Trevor and the team at Urban Oasis **★★★★★ — Jacqueline Wu, Nov. 2023** > We had a great experience working with Sarah, Trevor and the rest of the team at Urban Oasis. They did a complete remodel of our back yard, including the installation of a large, louvre-roofed pergola. The design was great and all the people working on the project were professional and pleasant to work with. Although the project took rather longer that anticipated, both to get started and to complete, we are very happy with the end result. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Thank you, Jacky! We truly appreciate you taking the time to write a review for Urban Oasis. It means a lot to our small business. It was our pleasure working with you! We wish you much enjoyment of your new backyard and, with your permission, look forward to taking some professional photos that we will share with you and here on Houzz! **★★★★★ — John M, June 2023** > I cannot recommend Urban Oasis enough. Urban Oasis did a complete backyard renovation including a firepit, pergola, outdoor kitchen and extensive paver patio plus updated landscaping and grass in both the front and backyard. Trevor, Sarah, Carrie and the entire build crew were incredible from design to completion. The team actively listened to what we wanted and diligently worked with us to deliver the vision and within our budget. The team consistently went above and beyond through the initial design and throughout the build. They even deeply evaluated a different pergola options that we initially thought we wanted to use and presented multiple options. They are true craftsmen. The final product has surpassed our expectations and we are so excited to enjoy our new backyard for many years to come. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > John, > Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review for us at Urban Oasis. It is extremely helpful to our company. We are so excited about the way your project came together and look forward to sharing some professional photographs with you very soon! > The Urban Oasis Team **★★★★★ — briano, April 2023** > Urban Oasis did an excellent job replacing our deck/patio, adding a remote operated louvered cover, and building a new shed for us. They are easy to work with, professional, communicate clearly and finished the job on schedule! They adapted to changes and unforeseen issues really well and we always felt like they were giving us honest guidance whenever it was needed. Their crew is skilled, clean, and friendly. The quality of the work is outstanding, and we couldn't be happier. We've been through various home remodels, and this was by far the most enjoyable experience. I highly recommend Urban Oasis to anyone looking to remodel or upgrade an outdoor space. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Brian, > Thank you for taking the time to review Urban Oasis Design & Construction. It means a lot to our business. It was a pleasure to work with you on this project, and we wish you much enjoyment of your new outdoor living spaces! **★★★★ — lzavar, Dec. 2022** > High quality work and care and detail in the design. Carrie, Trevor, Eduardo and the crew were great, especially when the project work itself got underway. Adverse weather and some projects ahead of us drew the lead time out from design to project start a bit, but the wait was worth it! As we entered the final phases we had to make some in-the-moment decisions, Carrie took great consideration and Trevor provided some awesome options then they got the team to work in no time. Design through construction was a priority for us and Urban Oasis is top notch! **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Trevor and I appreciated the opportunity to work with you on your front and backyards! Thank you for taking the time to write a review for Urban Oasis. Wishing you much enjoyment of your new spaces! **★★★★★ — Drew S, Dec. 2022** > We absolutely love our new outdoor space, snd can't recommend the crew at Urban Oasis enough. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is superb, and navigating a big project like this through COVID and supply chain back ups was no easy feat, but Trevor and team were highly communicative and trustworthy the whole time. I've already recommended Urban Oasis to close friends, and wouldn't hesitate to use them again, they're best in class. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Drew - We love it too! Trevor and I hope you and your family are having a blast in your new outdoor living space! Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review for Urban Oasis. It means a great deal to us. **★★★★★ — Mike, Nov. 2022** > They are extremely professional very clear with recommendations, timeline and design. The team is friendly, respectful and very thoughtful when issues/decisions come up. Most importantly they do fantastic work. We’ve done two major projects with them and will use them for the next project as well. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Mike, > Thanks so much for taking the time to review Urban Oasis. Trevor and I truly appreciate it. It has been our pleasure to have had the opportunity to work with you over the years and hope you and your family enjoy your new entry this winter. We look forward to taking some professional photographs this Spring and to sharing before/after images with you. > Carrie & Trevor **★★★★ — O Foreman, Nov. 2022** > I would highly recommend Urban Oasis. The quality of workmanship was excellent. Trevor and his crew were honest and very trustworthy. I thought their pricing was fair for the value of work that they performed. They were slightly over their initial timeline, but not all of this was their fault. I thought their communication with me was excellent, timely and clear. I would rate them a 9 out of 10. They can always use me for a reference - Owen Foreman. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Hi Owen, > Thank you so much for your review. We agree that your finished project came out beautifully and look forward to having some professional photographs taken this Spring. It was certainly an exercise of patience while we were waiting for your concrete contractor to pour the patios, and I think we shared some of the same frustrations regarding his schedule during the concrete strike. In the end, we were very happy with the quality of his work and feel that it complimented everything we built very nicely. We hope you and your family enjoy your new outdoor living space for many years to come. > Trevor & Carrie **★★★★★ — Sarah Hagan, Oct. 2022** > We contacted Urban Oasis in September 2021 after a few months of casual research into thinking about our small backyard, which was incredibly sloped and consisted of a concrete plat in the middle of sod that our builder threw together before we moved in (pictured at the end so you can see the "before"!). Our consultation happened in early November of that year, and after chatting with Carrie about their process, we moved forward with the backyard design process. In March 2022, Sarah and Carrie went over our designs using the "room" analogy and creating distinct spaces with function. We originally wanted something built off our house, but Renton city code would not allow that given our backyard size, but after some checking with the permit office, Sarah came back with a covered louvered structure proposal that we ended up loving that also allowed for construction without needing permitting, fast tracking how quickly we could start construction. > > As construction started in early August, Sarah continued to be our project manager (along with designer extraordinaire, she can do all!), checking in with us weekly to ensure we were kept in the loop about everything happening (including a surprise find of two septic tanks that ended up being storm water drainage) and being the go-between crews. We chose a design that allowed us to maximize running space for our kids through turf leading into a composite deck, then a lower covered patio with the louvered structure and fire table. We also maximized the amount of "usable" space in the backyard while still allowing plenty of space for local vegetation, and seriously could not have imagined as gorgeous of a backyard as we ended up with. Super small: the only "con" is that they don't have online payment options, that would've been significantly more convenient than sending large checks through the postal service, which made me a little nervous. > > We now use our backyard more than ever (even in the rainy season, since we have a covered structure and also a fire table to warm us up if we need!), and our entire backyard can be utilized now instead of the small plat of concrete that was there before. We're so grateful to Urban Oasis (and especially Sarah, who is the greatest!) for our gorgeous backyard. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Sarah, > Thank you so much for taking the time to review Urban Oasis. It is so fun to see the transformation of your backyard ... thank you for including photographs! It was truly our pleasure to work with you and Paul on this project. We wish you much enjoyment of your new rooms and hope for the opportunity to take some more photographs this Spring. > Carrie **★★★★★ — robsammamish, Oct. 2021** > Urban Oasis did an amazing job resurrecting a very small backyard space into an amazing new outdoor retreat! A great design and within our budget, the deck, fence/wall and landscaping were outstanding. Trevor led the construction and did a great job communicating progress, changes and new options as the project progressed. I'd highly recommend Urban Oasis for any landscape construction job you may need. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Thank you, Rob, for taking the time to write such a kind review for Urban Oasis. We love the way your project turned out! It was a pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — Rachael Soster-Smith, July 2021** > We highly recommend the wonderful Urban Oasis team! Although things worked a little differently due to the covid era (no onsite visit before designs were drawn up), we worked together to come up with the perfect design for our backyard space. We wanted a lot from our small yard, and with the help of Carrie, Kathryn, Trevor, Nathan & team, achieved an incredibly functional and beautiful result. > > Trevor was great at communicating what was happening throughout the 6-week construction process, and at times we came up with solutions, compromises, and small changes together. The team were flexible when changes were required and easily adapted by adding a little extra work to the initial contract. > > We are absolutely in love with our back deck and yard space. > > If you want a smooth process from design to construction - you can't go wrong with the Urban Oasis team. If they're booked up - just know they're worth the wait! **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Rachael, > Thank you so much for taking the time to review Urban Oasis. It means a lot to our small company. We are thrilled with your new backyard and wish you many years of enjoyment there. We do hope to have it professionally photographed this summer and look forward to sharing images with you and on this site! > Carrie, Kathryn, Trevor, Nathan & the Urban Oasis team **★★★★★ — seoulman, May 2021** > We worked with Carrie and Trevor to design and build our outdoor living space. While the project start was delayed due to the pandemic, it was a pleasure to work with them through the whole thing. The quality of workmanship and ability to manage the inevitable changes made working with them really easy and we are loving the end result. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > On behalf of Trevor and myself, thank you so much both for the opportunity to work with you on this project and for taking the time to write a review for Urban Oasis. It certainly was a trying time with the pandemic, but we enjoyed working with you and are truly thrilled with the result! **★★★★★ — Charles Voss, Dec. 2020** > Carrie, Trevor and their in-house team recently completed a beautiful outdoor living area in our backyard. The process started with an on-site meeting to familiarize them with the space and discuss the design elements we were most interested in. The design team came up with several alternative concepts and after several iterations the design was finalized and the construction team got to work. The work crews were staffed by friendly, skilled craftsmen who genuinely care about the quality of their work. There were weekly meetings with Carrie and Trevor to discuss progress and address any questions or explain the reason for the occasional delay. Any changes to the design were documented in a change order prior to being implemented to avoid any confusion. The new outdoor living space is everything we had hoped for and more. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Charlie - > We certainly built this project during an interesting time. Thank you for taking your time to review Urban Oasis and for your kind words. It was our pleasure working with you on this project, and we hope it brings you fond memories with friends and family for years and years to come. > Carrie, Trevor and the UO Team **★★★★★ — Lance Simons, Dec. 2020** > Every time I look out my window, I still can’t believe this is my backyard. Whether we are sitting by the waterfall, relaxing in the covered area, or cooking on the built-in grill, my wife and I often comment that we never thought we would have a backyard that looks this nice. And we owe it all to our decision to work with the folks at Urban Oasis. > > They walked us through the design process to come up with concept that we didn’t even know existed for back yard landscaping. Trevor and his team’s obvious expertise provided us with numerous options to fit into our budget. > > When the work started, the Urban Oasis team was prompt, courteous, and meticulous in completing their work. I remember watching one of the guys lay pavers and the attention to detail was amazing. What looked perfectly level to me, was clearly not up to his standards and he continued to add/remove sand until each paver was set perfectly. > > We highly recommend working with Trevor and his team at Urban Oasis. They have experts at every level, from the designers, to the builders to the landscapers. They’re trustworthy, prompt, highly skilled and dependable. We could not have had a better experience. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Lance, Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to review Urban Oasis. We enjoyed working with you on this project and appreciate your patience as we were working on your project through COVID protocols. I have a file of photographs that I will be sharing with you before the holidays. It makes all of us at Urban Oasis happy to think of your family enjoying your backyard and the ability to get outside even during these rainier months. Thank you again for your business, it was truly a pleasure to work with you. **★★★★★ — lamseattle, Oct. 2020** > We highly recommend Urban Oasis. Carrie, Trevor and their fantastic crew transformed our back- and front yards, and our patio hardscape in Spring-Summer 2020. Their team was on time (despite the challenges of COVID-19 requirements) and on budget. Communications throughout were very clear and we love the end result. Some minor planting adjustments will be made in the Spring, but overall, we couldn't be happier. > > Lori and Bob M. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Thank you Lori and Bob for taking the time to write a review for Urban Oasis. It means a great deal to our small business! It was our pleasure working with you on this project and hope you have enjoyed your new spaces through the summer - and now in Fall too. **★★★★★ — Jason Clinton, Aug. 2020** > We hired Urban Oasis for a covered deck project with a built in grill after researching several companies. The pictures themselves can write the review of the project. The craftsmanship is truly excellent! > > The project was around 11 months total from design to completion. While that sounds like a long period of time, this was in the city of Seattle, and permitting can take a long time. Our designer provided us four great plans to chose from. We picked a design went into engineering and permitting. When it looked like the city was indicating long delays onboarding, Trevor went down to the planning office to advocate, and got the project in review and passed before the city had planned to start reviewing. > > Construction went well. The crew kept the site clean. We managed to complete without any change orders needed. When we figured out grading might be an issue, they came up with a beautiful and creative fix to blend it into the yard. We love our deck! Highly recommend Urban! **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Thank you, Jason, for taking the time to review Urban Oasis. We truly appreciate your words and sharing your experience. It is wonderful to see your spaces furnished. We hope you have been enjoying your outdoor spaces this summer and wish you continued enjoyment throughout the seasons! **★★★★★ — Rick Segovia, May 2020** > Carrie and Trevor completely transformed our property into a true oasis. It was a total re-imagination of the space from overgrown/cramped areas to an open contemporary garden perfect for outdoor entertainment. Carrie immediately "got" what we wanted and quickly provided us smart design options that also morphed into a unified approach---it was painless and in fact a pleasure. Trevor did a great job overseeing and keeping us informed of the project status; it all went amazingly smoothly, given the scope of the project. The construction crew was also top notch: their diligence, attention to detail and workmanship were outstanding. Thanks again! **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Rick, thank you so much for the opportunity to work with you. It was our pleasure. And thank you for taking the time to write a review for us. That truly means a great deal to our business. We hope have been enjoying your new spaces and wish you enjoyment in your new yard for years to come! **★★★★★ — Lynn Moran, April 2020** > From start to finish Urban Oasis performed their services with the utmost in customer service. The entire team starting with consultation to the completion of the project were professional in manner, accommodating and accurate with timelines, and respectful of property, neighbors, and the client. The quality of the products and construction far exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend them for any project you may be considering. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Thank you so much, Lynn, for taking the time to review Urban Oasis. We were so happy to get your project finished just before the StayHome order so that you have a place to get outside and enjoy Spring. We wish you much happiness on your new patio and in your yard! It was a pleasure to work with you. **★★★★★ — Beth and John D, April 2020** > We had Urban Oasis build an outdoor covered area for us. We recommend them without reservation. They were terrific from the planning stages to completion. The team was excellent at explaining choices and cost points. They met deadlines and kept us in the loop. Appreciate the craftsmanship. The quality of the construction and joinery were unsurpassed. Many compliments from friends and neighbors. Top notch and nice people too! **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Beth and John - Thank you so much for your kind words. The fact that you took the time to write a review for Urban Oasis means a lot to us. Our team enjoyed working with you both and we are all hopeful for nice weather very soon so you can enjoy your yard even more! **★★★★★ — Jimmy White Photography, Nov. 2019** > I had the pleasure of working with Carrie Culp of Urban Oasis in August of 2018 when I was engaged to photograph one of their recently completed outdoor living space projects. I photograph a lot of outdoor living areas and I noticed a remarkable level of attention to detail and quality of workmanship throughout this project. I give Urban Oasis Design the highest recommendation without hesitation and would personally use them for my own home. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Thank you, Jimmy for taking the time to review Urban Oasis. It means a lot to us as a small business. We so enjoyed working with you and have truly benefited from the beautiful images you took! **★★★★★ — Ron Howell, Oct. 2019** > This is my second attempt at writing a review. Carrie, Trevor, and their carpenters and crew are professionals. She didn't give me the lowest quote. She gave me what I really wanted: she and Trevor listened to what I had in mind. We went from what I wanted to what I wanted to pay for; the design was altered but also with nice design. The work was scheduled for a couple months out so I had some worry, but not for cause. The work commenced on time. The crew tried to minimize our disruption. The work quality is outstanding. My highest praise: competent, candid, and I would use them again. But, I hope this is my last project. :) **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Thank you, Ron, for your kind review - and for taking the time to write a review for Urban Oasis. Our customer's words mean a lot to us. We look forward to photographing your project soon - and wish you much enjoyment of your new spaces! **★★★★★ — User, Dec. 2018** > From the first meeting, through design & construction, to final walk through, the people at Urban Oasis were great to work with. They captured my design ideas and enhanced my vision with their expertise and familiarity with methods and materials. Work crews were respectful of our neighbors so we could maintain good relationships. All the previous problems with our landscape have been solved. The finished product, a total landscape makeover, is amazing. Totally worth the investment! **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Nancy, > Thank you for taking the time to review Urban Oasis and for your kind words. It was a pleasure working with you. I am always so excited when our clients care about native plants. Wishing you a Happy New Year in your new yard! > Carrie, Cory & Trevor **★★★★★ — Ashley, Aug. 2018** > I highly recommend Urban Oasis! They recently completed a backyard renovation for us, including an outdoor kitchen, deck, covered structure, patio, and landscaping. From initial design through the completion of construction, Carrie and Trevor were highly responsive to our questions, listened to what we wanted, and helped to deliver a finished product that far exceeds any of our expectations. It’s impossible to state how happy we are with their work, as well as the process as a whole. I’ll include more details below, but the bottom line is that Urban Oasis is a fantastic company and will absolutely deliver a phenomenal outdoor space. > > We met with a few companies before selecting Urban Oasis, but found that others were trying to sell us on their vision for our yard, not necessarily what we wanted. From our first meeting, Carrie listened to our ideas and offered her expertise to design a space that met our needs and got the most out of our limited space. Additionally, as a “design/build” firm, Urban Oasis could ensure that the design intent was carried out in the construction, which is managed by Trevor. This is another reason we selected Urban Oasis; they oversee the project from start to finish, providing excellent customer service at every step along the way. You hear about a lot of contractors that disappear during the construction phase, or who are hard to reach. Urban Oasis, on the other hand, is highly responsive to questions and meets with you once a week during construction to go over progress, discuss any issues, and answer any questions. Their level of customer service and attention to detail is second to none. I was impressed with how closely Carrie and Trevor monitored the progress of construction, ensuring that every step met their high standards. > > I could list dozens of other reasons why we are glad we hired Urban Oasis. In the end, we have a beautiful outdoor living space that will serve us well for years to come. We’re thrilled with their work and would recommend Urban Oasis to anyone. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Thank you so much, Ashley, for your kind words and for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review of Urban Oasis on Houzz. Both Trevor and I had a lot of fun helping you to create your new backyard and outdoor living spaces. It was great to see your furniture and beautiful touches to the space when we photographed last week! We cannot wait to share the images with you and with Houzz. Wishing you many happy times in your new backyard! **★★★★★ — Robin Dickinson, July 2018** > Carrie, Trevor, and their team are expert in this field. What sets them apart from other companies we consulted, is their tight communication and integrated approach throughout the design, permitting and construction process. There will always be unexpected occurrences in any project. It is important to select an experienced team that has "seen it all before" and is able to adjust quickly and efficiently with a minimum of disruption to cost or schedule. Urban Oasis is that team. We recommend them without reservation. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Robin - Thank you for taking the time to review Urban Oasis Design & Construction on Houzz. Reviews from our clients mean the world to our business, so we truly appreciate your feedback. Everyone on our team enjoyed working with you on your outdoor living project. We are so excited for you to enjoy your new spaces this summer and wish you a happy season outside! **★★★★★ — Harold Dash, April 2018** > We had a challenging lot that required 3 retaining walls in the front. The design and winding staircase created an open, inviting ambience to the front of the house. Carrie suggested excellent choices for the plantings, took us to the nursery and incorporated our choices into the landscape plan. The work crew was fabulous. This company combines the landscape architect with the construction team. We found this design/build approach an advantage. The company is expensive but well worth it. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Dear Harold, > Thank you for taking the time to review Urban Oasis on Houzz, it means a great deal to us. We enjoyed working with you to create the landscape around your new home. Thanks also for sharing photographs. It is wonderful to see everything looking so nice. Hoping Spring truly arrives soon! > Carrie & Trevor **★★★★★ — Hector Cura, Aug. 2017** > Our back yard was a mess, a large space that we knew could be transformed into an amazing outdoor living space. After meeting with several contractors, we picked Urban Oasis. One key reason was Cory. She really stood apart from the others contractors. Her professional and cheerful nature made it really easy for us to express our ideas. Together we arrived at a great plan for our back yard incorporating all the design elements we discussed. When the construction work started we were equally impressed with the professionalism of the crew that did all the work. Trevor and his crew were amazing. They answered all our questions and walked us through every phase of the construction. My wife and I realized quickly that they were true craftsmen who loved the work they did. I highly recommend Urban Oasis to help you meet your dream renovation. They are not cheap but you get what you pay for and they were worth every penny! **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Dear Hector and Marilyn, > Thank you so much for taking the time to review us on Houzz. As a small business, feedback from our clients means everything! We wish you a happy rest of your summer in your new backyard. It was our pleasure to work with you. > Carrie, Cory & Trevor **★ — Kevin Bell, July 2017** > We started working with Urban Oasis for a large yard renovation project. We first met in September 2016 but did not receive design and quote options until early January 2017. During our 2nd meeting in early October, we gave Carrie our budget. When we received the project design options it was 2.5 to 3 times over our stated budget. Further discussions ensued to see how we could bring the design to even close to our budget requirement. There was not much thought on the part of Urban Oasis to how this could be achieved...just that we could take this out or that out of the plan. In the end we paid a substantial amount for designs that were worthless to us given they were so far over our budget. The good news we since found a recommended firm that were able to work within our budget and have done a great job. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Hey There, Houzzers – > This is Carrie from Urban Oasis. > We always welcome feedback from our clients and constantly strive to improve our services based upon customer feedback. We are always disappointed when we are not able to meet our clients’ design goals at their budget. > We wanted to address a few things that were not stated completely accurately. > First, the time between when a design contract is provided and when it is signed is completely in our clients’ control. Time of signing and workload – as well as our clients’ schedules – affect the duration of our design phase. By our records, we started the design process with an initial in October 2017 – October 14th to be exact. > Second, I’m sorry this client feels that there was not much thought put into the design. From our perspective, we spent more time than was accounted for in the design contract’s specified hours and had more meetings with the client in an effort to get this large scale project into their budget – without changing our fees. So we feel that a great deal of thought was put into the design and process. We did present more options and adjustments to the plan than indicated above; however, no matter how it was designed, the space was still large and had to be filled with something be it planting, lawn, drainage, etc. > Last, their description of the process leaves out many details including the fact that I always ask for a budget initially but none was given until well into the design process. We did our best to accommodate that situation, but we simply could not do a project of that scale properly at the stated budget. As I explained to the client, every company has its own expenses and pricing necessary to make the company viable – and we regret that ours did not meet their budget for the project. > We are happy to learn that they found a company to work with that met their budget and goals for the project, and that the outcome was to their satisfaction. **★★★★★ — K Purdy, June 2017** > Carrie designed a beautiful backyard for us, and we appreciate that she helped us cut some corners to stay near our budget. We had previously been working with someone and couldn't seem to get a design that worked within our means. She understood how we were going to use our space had some great ideas. She and Trevor are knowledgeable and easy to work with. The crew was fantastic and cleaned up every day. They are busy, so the schedule got moved back a bit. But once the project got started, they were quick and finished before they estimated. We are looking forward to years of enjoying our steel planters, fire bowl, espalier apple tree, patio, dog turf and much more! **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Dear Kirsten, > Thank you for taking the time to review Urban Oasis - it means a lot to us. It is wonderful to see this image of your patio furnished and looking so welcoming. We still hope to get out to take some more photos now that the weather has improved. We wish you a fun, happy summer in your new space! > Carrie & Trevor **★★★★ — User, Oct. 2016** > Urban Oasis did a good job on the project. The design process was outstanding, They truly designed what we asked for and made adjustments as needed. Construction was longer than anticipated, they have a small crew but do very good work. Sub contractors were paid independently, which was good but left a fairly large piece of the budget out of the estimate- all subcontractors recommended did a great job. Urban Oasis responded quickly when there were issues to resolve and made sure we were 100% satisfied. > > I would recommend Urban Oasis, the estimate and design process were very smooth. I would get sub contractor estimates in advance to better understand the total budget and have a schedule of on site visits with Trevor and include the sub contractors on the site visits. > > I highly recommend the Infratech flush mount heaters in the ceiling-they give off great heat and are beautiful although they did require extra electrician work. The metal panels to hide the A/C units turned out even more beautiful than I expected- Carrie and Trevor had great recommendations for the finishing touches. > > The Overall project resulted in a beautiful outdoor kitchen which we will enjoy for many years to come. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Thank you, Claudine, for taking the time to review Urban Oasis and for sharing photos of your beautiful new outdoor room and patio. We hope you and your family enjoy the spaces this holiday season and for years to come! **★★★★ — lcampney, Aug. 2016** > Project consisted of demolition of existing yard space, rebuilding retaining wall with granite rock, installing patio and turf to replace grass, and constructing fence. Main goal was to create dog- and family-friendly space. Fence outcome was fantastic, thanks to thoughtful work by carpenter and construction lead, although we had to figure out some design aspects of fence ourselves. Things we were not happy with, were taken care of promptly. In general, good attention to detail all around. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Thank you for taking the time to write a review for Urban Oasis, Lisa! We are delighted to hear that you are happy with your new backyard and hope to take some photos in the coming weeks to share here! Regarding the fence design, we worked diligently to offer multiple design options and to work out all of the details, We then sprayed out the fence-line in your yard so that you could see the layout on site in person. It would be helpful to me to learn what aspects of the fence design you felt you needed to figure out so that we can offer even better customer service in the future. I will give you a call. We truly appreciate your business. **★★★★★ — Michelle Martinson, May 2016** > We worked with Urban Oasis for the design and construction of an attached patio cover to the back of our house. Carrie did a great job of listening to our requests and designed a handful of options for us. She was very patient through our process of new and changing ideas and was easy to work with. She made every effort to design our structure with a design and finishes that would match our home. We were impressed with both Carrie and her partner Trevor. When we finally had everything ready to go (after waiting a lifetime for permits), the construction process went very well. There were a few delays in the project, but the quality of work and the finished project was well worth the wait. We are so thrilled with our "new" backyard. It's amazing how much difference this structure makes. We went from a full-sun patio, to adding a new and improved living/entertaining area out back. We now have a great space and love spending time back there! We would absolutely recommend this company for both design and construction services. - My only words of advice: plan ahead with your project as they get busy quickly and you may have to wait a while to get your work scheduled, and know that they are not the cheapest company out there - but you get what you pay for, and we have a beautiful end result and couldn't be happier with it. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Thank you so much for taking the time to review Urban Oasis. We enjoyed working with you and appreciate your business. It is great to hear that you are spending more time in your yard because of the covered area we designed and built for you. As soon as the weather gets reliably nicer, we will be out to take photos (thanks for letting us do that) - but for now, I have posted a few here as well. Cheers to a fantastic summer! **★★★★★ — Mary Maddox, Feb. 2016** > Carrie Culp and her crew at Urban Oasis added sparkle and perfectly proportioned architectural elements to my small yard. In our backyard, we replaced disgusting creosote timbers with stone. This was Carrie's advice, I took it, and I'm glad I did! What a difference the stone walls make. The crew are true artisans and paid close attention to details. Carrie designed a cedar "trellis" to replace the troublesome, canvas "marquee" covering our brick patio that we had to replace each year. The new trellis is stunning and beyond my expectations. We also had Urban Oasis replace our back porch and steps. It looks great! They fashioned a very clever cover over our back door in a very tight space. Now I can search for my keys and not get drenched! > > In our front yard Urban Oasis replaced some old, chipped, mossy, concrete steps with granite slabs. The stone stairs are a perfect choice for the age of our house (1924), and they are much more interesting than concrete. The crew was able to retrofit the granite slabs into an existing rockery. > > Carrie is a professional with integrity and good ideas. For our project she was prompt, followed-through on promises, offered choices, set reasonable timelines, responded to questions quickly, and came to the site often. The project was on time and within the budget. It's also important to note that Urban Oasis has it's own crew. Some of the crew have been with Urban Oasis for 10 years or more. They are highly skilled and a pleasure to work with. > > I found Urban Oasis via this site. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Mary - Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review for Urban Oasis - and for including photos! We are glad you are enjoying your new entry and backyard and can't wait to see it in the Spring! **★★★★ — snarkyfarky, Jan. 2016** > Loved the design, especially of the hardscaping. Have received many compliments on their work. The team who did the work was very respectful and clean. A few of the installed plants died and had to put in new plants. A little bit of trial and error with the plantings. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > I am not sure who is writing this review, but I wanted to reach out and thank you for the compliments on our design, installation and our crew. I'm sorry to hear that a few of the plants did not survive. I always recommend B-1 Upstart or Thrive for plants that might look stressed - also plenty of water for the first two growing seasons. Thanks again for taking the time to review Urban Oasis. **★★★★★ — User, Jan. 2016** > Urban Oasis provided a well thought-out, detailed, landscape plan for our home. Plant recommendations and selections proved to be ideal for our objectives. In addition, the drainage solution has worked perfectly. The addition and placement of large rocks in the yard has perfectly complemented the texture we wanted in our yard. The men who performed this work were professional and thoughtful in the execution of the plan. To complement our yard, we had Urban Oasis upgrade our BBQ area with tile and a ventilation system. And this too was perfectly executed yielding a lovely BBQ enclosure. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Lois and Geary, > Thank you so much for the opportunity to work with you and for taking the time to review Urban Oasis. It means a lot to us. We hope you are enjoying your yard this winter and hope to get a chance to see it this spring in full bloom! **★★★★★ — Matt Peterson, July 2015** > Carrie and Trevor are the most creative, hard working and professional folks we have ever worked with. We highly recommend Urban Oasis. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Thank you, Matt, for your kind review. We hope you are still enjoying your patio and water feature and wish you a happy summer! **★★★★★ — vickypalm, July 2015** > Our "hardscape" project involved replacement and re-design of our front entry, an area between our driveway and front deck. A planter bed bordered by decaying wood borders was removed and replaced with a raised bed contained by a low stone border; pavers were added to make the walk from the street - driveway - deck seamless. The project included new plantings also. > > Carrie and her colleagues were great to work with. She came up with an excellent solution to our unique needs and was always responsive to our questions. I especially appreciated her quick availability on email. Her construction foreman and workers were also inventive and adjusted to some small fixes needed very easily. Overall, we are thrilled with our end result. Our new planting area looks professional and beautiful ewith the plants Carrie picked. The cost was reasonable. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Vicky, > Thank you so much for taking the time to review Urban Oasis. We truly appreciate your feedback and are happy to hear that everything is working well for you and looks great. Wishing you a happy summer, > Carrie **★★★★★ — weaverlora, June 2015** > I have had the pleasure of working with Carrie and Trevor on several projects within the last 6 years. Carrie's innovative design talents and Trevor's construction knowledge and attention to details is the winning combination of Urban Oasis Design and Construction. > > The picture attached is a small window into Carrie's talents to take a limited budget and space to create beauty and balance with color and texture. > > Thank you Carrie and Trevor for all your efforts and talent! **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Thank you, Laura for your kind review and for including a photograph! What a great image! We always enjoy working with you. **★★★★★ — amfulmer, May 2015** > We hired this company to landscape our backyard, which was mostly a blank slate as it had never been finished during the house's construction. We were very happy with the process and the results. Carrie helped us work from a few general ideas to some concrete proposals, and oversaw the execution of the work. The end result, a new patio, fire pit, retaining and seating wall, and plantings, is exactly what we had hoped. Throughout Carrie and the team were professional and easy to work with. The space now looks inviting and beautiful. We recommend this company to anyone. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Hi Amanda, > Thank you so much for your kind review. We are so happy o hear that you are enjoying your space and wish you a wonderful summer! > Carrie **★★★★★ — theballard, April 2015** > I'm the Facility Manger at 164 unit Condo. We were in need of a rooftop upgrade Urban Oasis, did the work. From getting the HOA informed to the final finishing, UO has been wonderful to work with. The commutation and professionalism were above industry standards **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Thank you for your review. It was a pleasure working with everyone at The Ballard. I'm thrilled that the deck is being used and look forward to getting some good photographs this summer! **★★★★★ — rob\_wickham, April 2015** > The project was a 500 sq.ft. cedar trellis patio with ThermoClear covering and LV lighting, attached to the home with new French doors for access. This is the second home I've worked with Urban Oasis on, and this project -- equally beautiful -- is tailored to this home completely. Abundant natural light, the rich scent of cedar, and the extensive natural beams are amazing. Carrie was skilled and patient with my HOA, and even more patient with me and my many questions and wants. She followed budget well, and nailed the schedule too. During the project, Trevor and the team stayed on top of things and were always gracious. If there's ever a 3rd home's project, I wouldn't consider anyone else. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Thank you, Rob, for your thoughtful review - and for taking the time to write it and to include a photograph. As always, it was our pleasure to work with you. We hope you have a wonderful summer in your new space! **★★★★★ — candyjlee42, April 2015** > We have worked on two different projects with Carrie Culp and Urban Oasis Design & Construction. She was wonderful to work with and we look forward to doing more projects with her. She is very professional, reliable and good at helping you bring out your desires. She is very creative and helps you see the vision of what the new project would look like. The first project we used her on was to replace a courtyard lawn with pavers and retaining walls. The completed the project on time and on budget. Her team was very professional and worked hard to make sure we were happy with their work. They even added a few extra’s we were not expecting. The second project they removed a brink retaining wall and replaced it with Corten steel. They had to keep 16 Colonnade apple trees alive through the process. The new steel retaining wall looks great and all the apple trees are alive and healthy. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Thank you for your thoughtful review, Candy. It is always a pleasure to work with you. > Best, > Carrie **★★★★★ — stephenday111, April 2015** > We hired UO to replace plantings,,suggest new plants, and install and then repair a dry stack wall and build a stone walkway. Great ideas, really knowledgeable and responsive. Always on time for appointments, Crew was fabulous and the stone walkway is artistic. Overall we loved working with the UO professionals, Everything was outstanding. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Steve, > We hope that your garden is giving you a lot of pleasure this summer. Thank you for your business and for your kind review. > Carrie **★★★★★ — User, April 2015** > Carrie and her landscaping staff produced a beautiful architectural plan incorporating all of our asks along with adding her own professional knowledge about outdoor space landscaping. The install went flawlessly and we loved the final implementation. We were easily more than 100% pleased with the results! She was also on time and on budget. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Derek, > Thank you for taking the time to review Urban Oasis on Houzz. It was a pleasure working with you on your project and wish you continued enjoyment of your outdoor spaces! > Carrie **★★★★★ — hollyodesign, April 2015** > Carrie Culp of Urban Oasis Design & Construction was a pleasure to work with and we couldn't be more pleased with our beautiful landscaping. Our newly constructed home was built on the site of a 1955 Edmonds rambler & we needed help from a professional who understood the value and necessity of blending some of the original plantings into an updated plan. Our 'wants & needs list' was incorporated into the overall plan with new plants that fit seamlessly with the old. New pathways and places to entertain and relax, completed the design. We highly recommend Carrie. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Thank you Holly for your kind review. I hope you are enjoying all of the seasons in your beautiful yard. > Carrie **★★★★★ — W.A. and Sherry Gates, April 2015** > If you are looking for someone who can provide the "complete" package, I recommend Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC. They provided the landscaping design, irrigation plan and installation, all plants and planting, a lovely stonework pathway from the upper to the lower yard and Bluestone for the front entry. This was a big job for our newly constructed home. They needed to work with our home architect and his site plans, with the concrete prep and pour time-line and with our contractor to schedule grading, digging, planting, irrigation and yard lighting. > From our first meeting in March 2014 to the finished project in Oct. 2014, Carrie Culp stayed in weekly contact with us, this was a big help and a big advantage for a project of this size. We are very pleased with the outcome; our neighbors love it too! **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Sherry , Thank you so much for your review. It was wonderful to see your yard looking so beautiful during our site visit last week. We look forward to replacing the few plants that didn't survive the winter and getting everything picture perfect for summer! **★★★★★ — marilynmilberger, April 2015** > I hired Urban Oasis to design a backyard garden and install new stairs and stonework. After a very enjoyable design consultation, Carrie presented three designs and I selected one with no reservations. I went with her to the nursery to pick out additional plants (she incorporated much of the existing garden.) Old raised beds were replaced with a bluestone patio, and a long flight of uneven concrete stairs leading to the house from the street were replaced with granite. All of the specialty stone work was done with exacting attention to detail. I have been delighted with the outdoor extension of my old Craftsman bungalow. **Comment from Urban Oasis Design & Construction LLC:** > Marilyn, > Thank you for taking the time to write this review of Urban Oasis. Your project remains one of my favorites that I have designed - particularly because of your love of your home and yard! > Carrie ## Selected projects - [Homeowner DIY Recreated and Improved](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/homeowner-diy-recreated-and-improved-pj-vj~7554621) - Location: Redmond, WA - Photos: 11 - Description: Sometime in 2020, our clients had constructed a makeshift covered deck so that their family and friends could gather outside safely and with some protection from the weather. The space was so well-liked that they asked Urban Oasis to create a permanent outdoor living space. Aspects of their structure influenced our design - specifically the symmetry and layout of the space. The old deck was rotting and was replaced with a new composite deck and steps. The gabled structure allowed us to feature a… - [Sloped Backyard Reimagined](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sloped-backyard-reimagined-pj-vj~7470788) - Location: Kirkland, WA - Photos: 13 - Description: After nearly two years in permitting due to the critical slopes in this backyard, we were able to bring our clients wishes to life. Their existing deck was small and not easily usable, and the remainder of the backyard was mostly steep slopes. Our homeowner wanted to add a DADU (detached additional dwelling unit) into their backyard as well as to create more functional and usable outdoor living areas - including a covered space with heaters. The design of these spaces hinged on leaving a large r… - [Back Porch Renovation and Expansion](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/back-porch-renovation-and-expansion-pj-vj~7489925) - Location: Kirkland, WA - Photos: 11 - Description: Our client had a very narrow covered back patio that they hoped to expand and renovate to create more space for entertaining. The main design challenge was that they did not want to remove their 2' thick existing concrete patio, but there was very little space between the finish floor of the patio and the door thresholds (which were all at slightly different heights). Our solution was to use a Daltile porcelain tile that could be mortared to the slab and then sand-set for the additional patio ar… - [Urban Backyard Makeover](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/urban-backyard-makeover-pj-vj~7527535) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 12 - Description: As with most urban backyards, the space here was limited and also challenging due to a large, centrally located tree and some tricky grades. Our clients prioritized outdoor living, ample parking and privacy for this completely remodeled backyard. The kitchen was designed as the hub of this space with ample room for bar seating and appliance including a kegerator. The space also leaves room for a dining table and comfortable furniture. The louvered structure allows light into the space and also k… - [Indoor / Outdoor Living in Sammamish](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/indoor-outdoor-living-in-sammamish-pj-vj~7529050) - Location: Sammamish, WA - Photos: 12 - Description: Our clients dreamed of an outdoor living space linked to the interior of their home by a fully opening door. The project presented a design challenge due to the building setbacks on this suburban lot, so the layout required detailed space planning and careful design. The L-shaped outdoor kitchen provides plenty of workable counter space while incorporating a grill, side-burner, refrigerator, trash drawer and plenty of storage. The stone facade of the kitchen warms up the space and contrasts nice… - [Bluestone Ribbon - Redmond](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bluestone-ribbon-redmond-pj-vj~7319583) - Location: Redmond, WA - Photos: 24 - Description: Our client moved into this beautiful home, but it had a completely unfinished landscape. With two small children, gravel and weeds did not work well as play spaces and the driveway was also unfinished. The concept for this project began with the idea of a four-foot-wide bluestone ribbon that would frame a large paver patio and then work its way up several short sets of stairs, through walls and around the house to outlet at the driveway as an entry to the backyard. The main patio and hot tub pat… - [Seattle Modern Front Yard](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/seattle-modern-front-yard-pj-vj~7522753) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 10 - Description: Our client's front yard had sustained damage from a fallen tree, so they decided it was time to update the look in keeping with their recent home renovation. The design challenge was keeping some of the paving and the steps intact while creating an updated look. Using clean, modern materials, Urban Oasis created a modern and easy-care front yard that compliments the home's architecture. Plantings were carefully selected and Ecoturf (a blend of grasses and clovers) was specified for the lawn as a… - [Bellevue Total Yard and Deck Makeover](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bellevue-total-yard-and-deck-makeover-pj-vj~7319568) - Location: Bellevue, WA - Photos: 20 - Description: This project was phased into two parts that were built several years apart. The first phase of design and construction focused on the new waterproofed deck and patio. The second phase focused on the front yard and creating a new and more easily navigable driveway. The waterproofed Ipe deck serves as an extension to the main living area of the home and a partial cover for the patio below, providing both relief from the sun and rain protection. The patio was designed to function both as an enterta… - [From Drab to Fab](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/from-drab-to-fab-pj-vj~7236385) - Location: Sammamish, WA - Photos: 13 - Description: Our client had worked with an architect to design the outdoor living space they desired but found out later that setbacks and lot coverage requirements had not been taken into account. It was our design challenge to figure out how to make the layout they preferred to work. We are thrilled with the way the project turned out. By creating three connected "rooms" in the yard, these homeowners now have both open and covered space for entertaining and spending time outdoors. The louvered kitchen area… - [Sammamish Outdoor Living](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sammamish-outdoor-living-pj-vj~4271836) - Location: Sammamish, WA - Photos: 7 - Description: Our clients wanted to create a backyard that would grow with their young family as well as with their extended family and friends. Entertaining was a huge priority! This family-focused backyard was designed to equally accommodate play and outdoor living/entertaining. The outdoor living spaces needed to accommodate a large number of people – adults and kids. Urban Oasis designed a deck off the back door so that the kitchen could be 36” height, with a bar along the outside edge at 42” for overflow… - [Outdoor Living in Lake Forest Park](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-living-in-lake-forest-park-pj-vj~6780516) - Location: Lake Forest Park, WA - Photos: 10 - Description: These homeowners wished to extend their existing roof out into the backyard to create a covered outdoor living space that marries seamlessly with their home. They also hoped to improve access to the backyard and flatten it out for more well-drained usable space. Azek Vintage composite decking was incorporated in order that the transition from inside to outside is all one level. The outdoor kitchen and bar were designed for maximum functionality. Many of the homeowner's reference images were used… - [In the Trees - Redmond](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/in-the-trees-redmond-pj-vj~6780707) - Location: Redmond, WA - Photos: 9 - Description: Our clients call this structure their tree house. It has become a four season retreat for their family. The surrounding trees give privacy and ambiance to this space. Heated by a gas fireplace and electric (Infratech) heaters, the space is welcoming throughout the year. It also features a pass through window into the home's kitchen with a bar, sink, grill and plenty of counter space and storage. Skylights keep light flowing into the space during the day. The space underneath the deck provides sh… - [Outdoor Living with Style](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-living-with-style-pj-vj~7000098) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 14 - Description: Our client was looking to redesign their yard to include a large outdoor living room, while leaving enough play space for their children. Through the design process we worked together to achieve both the space and the aesthetic our homeowners envisioned. The result is a large composite deck covered by a louvered structure that can keep the rain out or let the light in. The expansive outdoor kitchen features a beautiful Dekton countertop, stainless steel and ironwood cabinets and a wood/gas burni… - [Queen Anne Makeover](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/queen-anne-makeover-pj-vj~6779525) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 17 - Description: These Queen Anne homeowners had completely remodeled their home and were looking for a low maintenance, enjoyable yard that would accentuate their views and provide outdoor space for their dogs. Another important goal was to attract birds and pollinators to the garden, in part for photographic opportunities. A series of Corten planters create planting space along the back property line while leaving plenty of room for artificial turf that the family dogs can enjoy. A recirculating urn water feat… - [Kirkland Modern Family Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kirkland-modern-family-retreat-pj-vj~6780616) - Location: Kirkland, WA - Photos: 11 - Description: These homeowners wanted to organize their small backyard into a family friendly space for all to enjoy. Key elements included a covered deck, space for a patio, space for a trampoline, and privacy from neighbors that did not feel like a typical fence. We selected Azek Vintage decking in Coastline to create a clean, light modern look for the deck and built-in bench. The Lexan trellis allows light in, but keeps the space underneath dry. Integrated low voltage lights illuminate the space under the… - [Bellevue Second Story Outdoor Living](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bellevue-second-story-outdoor-living-pj-vj~6614182) - Location: Bellevue, WA - Photos: 11 - Description: This project was designed, engineered and built over an existing garage in order to create seamless indoor/outdoor entertaining space. The integrity of the rooflines and focus on making this addition seamless with the existing home was the focus of our exterior design and construction. The interior was designed to fully integrate with the home's interior and to create a cook's kitchen along with ample space for lounge seating and dining. Azek Vintage Decking in Weathered Teak transitions the int… - [Sammamish Backyard Makeover](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sammamish-backyard-makeover-pj-vj~6439411) - Location: Sammamish, WA - Photos: 9 - Description: Like many of our clients this year, these homeowners were looking for a warm, dry outdoor living space where they can socialize with family and friends. The structure includes Infratech heaters for warmth and skylights to let light into the space and the home.

The key element to this project is the waterfall which is… - [West Seattle Modern Makeover](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/west-seattle-modern-makeover-pj-vj~6446470) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 11 - Description: This West Seattle home had been beautifully renovated on the inside, but the exterior was in need of an update. This triangular lot posed a challenge in creating usable, functional space - particularly where the view back to the City of Seattle is spectacular. Using porcelain pavers to create the patio and pathway spaces, this plan capitalizes on the angular nature of the site to lead the eye through the space and to provide a clear pathway to the front door, which was missing in the existing la… - [Sammamish Two Level Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sammamish-two-level-retreat-pj-vj~6396105) - Location: Sammamish, WA - Photos: 25 - Description: On this sloped, wooded lot, we focused on creating usable tiers, tied together with similar materials and textures. The lower level is a covered outdoor space focused around a two-sided gas fireplace that is clad in bluestone. A barbeque island sited just outside the kitchen doors, adds functionality to the lower level. A beautiful, recirculating water feature with a carved basalt column serves as the second focal point and adds sound and movement to the spaces. Both of these elements can be enj… - [Outdoor Living in Newport Shores](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-living-in-newport-shores-pj-vj~6975383) - Location: Bellevue, WA - Photos: 7 - Description: Our client was interested in making an old deck more functional by rebuilding, simplifying and adding a cover.

A: The roof is a consistent pitch and does not angle out differently anywhere. **Q: was the pergola custom built or a kit? is it snow load rated?** *(in Photo Questions)* Was the pergolas custom built or a kit? Is it snow load rated? A: The product is made and engineered by Cardinal Aluminum and built by our in-house crews.

A: Hi There! The structure is custom and also designed and built by our in-house team; however, the manufacturer provides us with engineering for whatever we design.
