Did you know that the Washington Association of Landscape Professionals has an annual awards program that showcases the outstanding work and projects of its members?

Now is the perfect time to be taking photographs of your blooming and colorful landscapes, your amazing hardscape projects, and your beautifully maintained properties. The 2026 Northwest Premiere Landscape Awards program submittal forms will soon be available to download from walp.org where you can start the process for entering this year’s program.

Today we are featuring Malone's Landscape’s project “Garden Oasis” that was recognized with a Grand Award in Residential Landscape Construction. This project was also recognized with a JUDGE’S AWARD. Here is a description of this project.

The original vision for this property began with the idea of adding a pool, but as the design evolved, the homeowners were drawn toward creating a lush garden sanctuary instead. They wanted a space that felt immersive and restorative, blending natural beauty, craftsmanship, and comfort within the landscape.

Bound by wetlands and a nearby creek, the property presented strict spatial limitations, requiring our team to design with precision and creativity. The existing concrete retaining wall was transformed with Belgard pavers and cultured stone veneer, adding warmth and texture to the setting. Within that footprint, we layered experiences that include a soothing water feature, greenhouse, hot tub, and outdoor shower.

The elevated structure supporting the hot tub was completely rebuilt to meet modern safety standards and enhance usability. The new design expanded both function and stability, incorporating new railings, reinforced footings, and an integrated spiral staircase that connects the upper and lower levels.

The restored sauna and outdoor shower complete the sense of a private, spa-like retreat. The result is a backyard sanctuary that feels timeless, restorative, and deeply connected to its natural surroundings.

The most complex aspect of this project centered on the elevated structure that supports the hot tub. The existing framework was unsafe and required complete reconstruction, but due to its location and design, traditional access methods were not possible. Our team coordinated the careful removal of the roof by crane to allow for structural repairs and reinforcement below. Once the work was completed, the roof was precisely repositioned and secured, restoring both function and safety without compromising the integrity or aesthetics of the design.
