Our Process

Steve and his crew did a great job installing a sprinkler system in our yard and re-landscaping our back yard. The plant selections and placements are perfect. The work was done in a timely manner, by a very professional and friendly crew. I would definitely recommend New Leaf.

Steve is phenomenal to work with. His team that constructed our project are so talented. Steve helped us design and create a beautiful upgrade to our lakefront property. Our daughter was married here soon after. They put in an amazing effort to have the lakefront ready and that included all our beautiful plantings. Steve and his team at New leaf are exactly who you want if you're looking to upgrade your home landscape. Thank you The Hopes

Best in the area! Wouldn't choose another company. Thanks so much guys!

Steve and his crew did a fantastic job on our backyard. Listened to our ideas and thoughts but also brought his own ideas and experience as well. Transformed our backyard which was once soggy and unusable to a new area we can enjoy with the kids. We did turf installation and a walkway with surrounding plants and couldn’t be happier. Would recommend to anyone looking for a landscaper!

We were looking for a company that could do both special large projects as well as provide ongoing maintenance. We couldn't be more pleased with the quality of work that New Leaf Creations has done for us.

Steve and his crew serviced my large yard in Issaquah for years. The grounds remained lovely and when we went to sell, many prospective buyers commented that the yard was beautiful. Highly recommend them for their great responsiveness and reliability.

Terrific business - New Leaf Creations is locally owned and has been in business for around two decades. We have done two projects, both of which have turned out great. If you need thoughtful recommendations tailored to your property and budget, thorough communication and regular oversight by the company's leadership, this is your solution. Thanks for the new backyard Steve!

Best Company to work with for your landscaping needs. It has been over 5 years since we hired New Leaf Creations to design and landscape our yard. The plants and trees have matured and created just the look we were hoping for. Everyone that comes to visit us comments on how beautiful the yard is in all seasons. We highly recommend Steve and his crew.

I noticed some review citing a rock falling off a trailer? not sure how that is relevant. I cant speak to how they secure their trailer or how many PSI they have in their truck tires. I can however confirm that Steve and company do a fantastic job of installing lawns. They have done two beautiful yards for me on Queen Anne. We liked them so much that we had them work on our new home when we moved. Highly recommend.

Steve and New Leaf Creations did a beautiful job of designing, landscaping and implementing our wishes for a low maintenance and beautiful front and backyard. The placement of boulders, lights, trees, turf and plants throughout the yard created an oasis for my husband and me. I smile every time I walk onto my back porch and view our backyard. Steve is an effective communicator and honest about costs. The quality of the work they did was excellent. I highly recommend Steve and New Leaf Creations for any back or front yard landscaping.

I had New Leaf Creations install synthetic grass in a small area of my backyard. What a great experience! Dave came out and quoted the project and fit me in as soon as he could after I committed to their company. He was kind, professional and diligent about installing the turf correctly. He was on time and hard at work while he was here and he did an impeccable job. Each night when he would pack up his trailer to drive away he made sure to sweep and even blow any debris off my driveway to ensure that he left it looking better than when he came. I would not only hire them again but i would recommend them to everyone I know.

Steve and his team were fantastic, an experience that redeemed what had been a frustrating process to get our garden landscaped. We had met with a number of of other landscape architects, received intricate plans that were costly to produce but hard to interpret (black and white bushes on a plan look like black and white bushes on a plan). Steve arrived, listened with interest and passion but also with a practicality that led us to trust him right away. We suggested he proceed, without a costly plan, trusting the outcome entirely to him. It was the right approach. He consulted with us throughout the process, was clear with what he was going to do, but also used his expertise to guide us (we aren't gardeners - we know a great garden when we see it but havent a clue what actually goes into creating one.) He chose all of the plants, trees etc. When we questioned a choice he always committed to changing it if we didnt like it in the end. We didn't change a thing, and were right to trust this project to him. End result: We couldn't be happier. We love our garden - its exactly what we wanted. The project was delivered on budget and as on time as possible during COVID. Finally, a note about this team. They were fantastic. Professional, incredibly competent, arrived every day on time, left the worksite neat and orderly every day, worked incredibly hard and did a really really good job in every sense. After several other experiences with contractors that did our hardscape, his team was an absolute pleasure.

We are long-time customers of New Leaf Creations, for both landscape design changes and maintenance. Steve always has great design ideas and he takes care when selecting new trees and plants. His crews are hardworking and experienced. They just completed a project for us, and we couldn't be more satisfied!

I moved into a house and the previous owners were very kind people but let me tell you they did not care about the lawn care and I remember the days I spent mowing the lawn as a child to ensure my dad was happy. I now have a sick obsession with curb appeal and I found New Leaf Creations during my travels as I watched them work on a picture perfect lawn in Bellevue. New Leaf responded within 24 hours on a Friday and was at my house on Monday. They helped me determine what's best for installation and then continued the required maintenance to ensure I was a happy customer. Needless to say I now recommend new leaf to all of my friends and family and have never once had a single complaint!?!

We used New Leaf Creations for a yard refresh. They improved the drainage in the backyard and added artificial turf, taking our muddy, splotchy grass and turning it into a beautiful lawn. Our front yard was kind of a mess with grass that didn't stay green and overgrown shrubs. They modernized it by removing the grass and put in size-appropriate shrubs and new flowering plants. New Leaf handled everything from start to finish, including design, selecting plants, and installation. Steve was fantastic at communicating with us at each step along the way. When we encountered some challenges (through no fault of theirs), they were super quick to respond and keep us in the loop. Would highly recommend them for yard projects!

Steve and his team at New Leaf Creations provided not only excellent, professional service, but made sure that we understood how to care for and nurture our new lawn as it germinated and grew to maturation. Any questions we had, they were willing to answer, in detail, and encouraged us to keep asking questions as our lawn matured. We will be recommending New Leaf Creations to our friends and neighbors, as we routinely share information about contractors and home improvement. M&L, Renton, WA

Steve and his crew were absolutely fantastic to work with and incredibly professional from start to finish. Our yard started as a mix of overgrown bushes, tired old plants, and mossy grass, and Steve transformed it into a beautiful, cohesive outdoor space with inviting walkways and thoughtfully chosen, low-maintenance plants that fit our home perfectly. We love how the new landscaping has completely transformed the outside of our home and made it a place we actually enjoy spending time in. The crew was punctual and respectful throughout the project. Since the project was completed, we’ve received a lot of compliments from neighbors and friends, and we’re always happy to recommend Steve and New Leaf Creations to anyone looking to upgrade their yard.

We have used New Leaf Creations for numerous landscaping and garden projects for many years. This has included a complete landscape design and planting plan, as well as ongoing weekly maintenance and various improvements/updates to our yard over the years.Their work is always top notch and completed according to agreed upon terms. The company is very well managed and organized which is reflected in all of the employees that show up to complete the work. I highly recommend them!

We are very pleased with the work done by Steve and the team at New Leaf Creations for our backyard project. Steve took the time to talk with us and understand what we had in mind for the space, how we planned to use it, and what was important to us. The team took a space that was not very usable, and created a beautiful patio with landscaping. They did a meticulous job leveling the ground and placing the pavers, and the result is great! We now have a backyard patio that looks great and is very welcoming and usable, with landscaping that enhances the overall look! We definitely recommend Steve and New Leaf Creations!

New Leaf Creations consistently delivers outstanding work, and they recently went above and beyond during a time of crisis. They quickly adjusted their team's schedule to meet my urgent needs, providing exceptional service and support. I truly appreciate their professionalism, flexibility, and commitment to their customers!

New Leaf Creations did a comprehensive installation at our new house that included extensive hardscape (block walls, stairs, a patio, and pathways), plants, and a pondless stream. The work was done very well, and Steve's plant selection was fantastic. Would definitely recommend New Leaf.

Steve and his crew did an amazing job on our backyard. We demolished our wood deck and Steve had a vision for a new patio with pavers, boulders and cut rock. We let him run with it and what he created was perfect! That was a year and a half ago. Recently we had him come back and finish with plants and mulch. Now our backyard is our favorite part of our house!

Steve and his crew are exceptional! They transformed our dark, muddy always wet backyard into a clean, well draining oasis. The crew is courteous, easy to work with, prompt and flexible: it is no surprise that they are in high demand.

It has been a pleasure to have New Leaf Creations as my partner in creating a beautiful, relaxing and sustainable yard. The landscaping design and the systems that support it have worked extremely well and have generated so many compliments. I can’t say enough about the quality of the plants, lighting and water features treatments that provide so much joy to my family. The ongoing maintenance is done to perfection, and the crews are so friendly and diligent about making everything look its best. I never have to worry about any of my plants. Their care has made my investment a reasonable one, since the design and durability of the selected plants have had the long-term value one hopes for. Steve and Dave are great to work with – always ready with ideas for improvement or to address any issues that may arise. Over the last several years, I have worked with them to enhance my design by adding more groundcover or additional plants to fill open areas. They are the best!

Steve has a great crew and was able to take our vision for the lawn and turn it into reality. He gently made suggestions where needed, and those adjustments greatly improved the functionality of our landscape. His plant choices also took into account water source, soil quality, and sunlight. He also has an extremely professional crew, talented craftsmen and excellent problem solvers. We had several issues come up during our build, including a broken water main (not Steve's crew) and a cut internet cord, (repaired within two hours). Steve and his crew responded quickly and with empathy. Steve also came in at our budget. We look forward to watching our garden thrive for years to come. Highly recommend him if you are tired of listening to sales pitches from other landscapers who overcommit themselves and underdeliver.

Steve and the team at New Leaf Creations rebuilt a retaining wall. The team was great to work with - professional service through and through. We really appreciated their attention to detail, timeliness and cleanliness. The finished product looks awesome.

Dave just tuned up our underground sprinkler system. He changed out some sprinkler heads, changed some of the sprinkler patterns, repaired some leaks, created some new sprinklers for the back garden and did it all with a wonderful attitude. I couldn't be more pleased with his work.

New Leaf Creations did an awesome job redoing our back and side yard and for a reasonable price. The best part is that Steve is on the job site every few days to see how things are going and to mark out the next phase of the work. And Steve has an amazing eye and sense of design. I've never seen boulders look as good as they do in New Leaf Creations yards. I also liked that we weren't required to pay for a design blueprint since our design was relatively straightforward.

New Leaf is a great find - we can't say enough about how professional, responsive, and overall excellent the experience has been. They gave us a whole new backyard, including irrigation system, plus lovely new stone steps in front and we highly recommend them to anyone with garden and yard design and installation needs

Steve and team are wonderful. They have been taking care of our landscape for years now, doing maintenance work weekly and preparing our irrigation system each season. They do a great job and are always super easy to work with when we have new project ideas. We couldn't be happier with their service.

I have been a client of New Leaf Creations since 2005. Recently they did a landscape makeover in my front and side yard. I love the plants they chose and the landscape lights that turn on in the evening. The transformation was amazing. Looking forward to Spring when everything is in bloom! The crew was always professional and very knowledgeable and did an amazing job. They will be starting soon on my backyard. Can’t wait to see it once it’s done! Ella Marie Washatka Bellevue Resident

A year ago I had my first meeting Steve. I just “wanted the yard to look nice.” Little did I realize what a profound, life-affirming, healing experience it would be. I now have a beautiful urban oasis and the water feature Steve suggested attracts lots of different birds, including hummingbirds! I haven’t gone through a full year with the finished yard and am looking forward to seeing the changes in the fall and winter and beginning of spring. I feel so connected to the rhythm of the seasons. Steve and his crew are amazing, and the maintenance plan means my yard always “looks nice.” From the beginning, New Leaf Creations treated my little rambler like an estate.

A top-notch, reliable and professional company with great crews. A recent backyard refresh delivered beyond expectations in the results.

We have used New Leaf Creations for the past 6 years for our Sammamish home. We have been consistently happy with the work that they do for us. Our neighbors frequently complement our yard, which is the best endorsement of all! Highly recommend Steve and his crew!

Really great experience working with Steve and New Leaf Creations. We got exactly what we wanted out of the work and it was even finished earlier than originally planned!
