Rock Garden
Landscape Alaska designed and installed this rock garden on a sloping site in Douglas. The homeowners wanted to be able to enjoy their view of Gastineau Channel and Mt Roberts; however, poor drainage made most of the back yard unusable. Margaret designed a rock garden for the site, complete with boulders, gravel paths, and plantings. The owners are continually delighted by the view, the plants, and the birds that inhabit their yard.
