Lake Goodwin Pool Party! Before & After
A Suburban Garden
The clients contacted GardenGirls for a mid-century modern landscape design that would complement their lifestyle. As a young professional couple who work from home and like to entertain, they wanted a comfortable backyard where they could gather around a wood firepit, grow herbs, have green space for their dog to run around with beautiful garden beds to attract birds, bees, and butterflies.
The master plan was divided into phases.
Phase one included:
1. Grading the backyard.
2. Building a block retaining wall for a lower-raised vegetable garden.
3. A new patio.
4. Planting beds.
5. A firepit.
6. Pathways around the perimeter of their home.
In collaboration with GardenGirls, Pacific Pine Landscaping installed the Tech-Bloc Para patio slabs in greyed nickel, a choice that exudes modernity and elegance. The clients opted for the Costco Paragon Lugano Louvered Aluminum Pergola, a versatile choice that offers the best of both worlds.The adjustable louver shades allow them to control the sunlight, making it a perfect space for extended family gatherings.
Unlike a traditional pergola, this design ensures the space is usable throughout the year, enhancing the functionality of their backyard landscape.The nursery stock was selected after careful consideration of their growth patterns, bloom times, and wildlife-attracting properties. The goal was to ensure four seasons of color and to increase By having raised beds next to the patio they are able to harvest herbs for their latest recipes

A memorial garden across generations
This project is a meaningful tribute filled with symbolic touches that honor a family’s enduring legacy across generations. The two tall stumps represent the family’s first generation, who settled in the rainforest in the 1800s. Recently, when the family’s second-generation grandparents—both in their 90s—passed away, Garden Girl wanted a way to commemorate the family’s lasting impact on the community and beyond. With access to heavy equipment and a large property, the family carefully chose a substantial cedar rootball to symbolize the second generation, moving it with two excavators near Lake Quinault and finally bringing it to rest at their home.
Surrounding the rootball are hydrangeas, representing the third generation of five adult children. These hydrangeas are a meaningful choice, as they grow along the south shore road of Lake Quinault, planted by the very first generation. The third generation went on to have nine children—symbolized by nine rhododendrons, Washington's state flower. And finally, the newest generation is represented by wildflowers throughout the memorial garden.
In the summer of 2024, a member of the third generation celebrated 50 years of marriage, bringing family and friends together for a joyful reunion of over 250 people. The memorial garden offered comfort and became a warm point of connection, especially as they held a private service for their father just days before. This project has been a true labor of love, honoring a legacy of compassion, humor, and deep roots. May we all leave behind something as meaningful for those who come after us.
