About the Comapny
Classic Nursery is the sum of it's parts...and the product of quite an interesting history. Read on to learn more about the Classic team, how we began and some good things that we give back to the community today.
Our History
Classic Nursery & Landscape Company was founded in 1985. Located in Redmond and family owned, our 8-acre garden center has a gift store with antiques, handmade gifts and work by local artists. We are also fortunate to have Bear Creek border the perimeter of our property and host a unique wildlife education area. Welcoming hundreds of schoolchildren annually, we were fortunate to have been awarded an unprecedented two Green Globe awards from King County for our wildlife education efforts. Please feel free to come by anytime, especially when the salmon are running.
You can never be too proud.
We pride ourselves in doing a good job for you at a fair price. As a landscape design/build contractor for almost 20 years, we have employees with unprecedented longevity in a trade known for employee turnover. Many of our employees, including landscape labor crew have been with us for over five years (and some for a decade or more), an unusual statistic in the landscape industry. Our on staff landscape architect is state licensed and a member of the ASLA (American Society of Landscape Architects). We are also a 5-star King County Envirostar Company and members of a number of professional nursery, landscape design and building associations, such as WALP, ASLA, APLD and the MBA. (See our reference and “questions to ask your landscape designer” sections).
Experience. Turns out it's important.
We'll offer creative and flexible, budget-based solutions specifically tailored to fit your site. We base our horticultural recommendations on our vast experience working on properties from Everett to Maple Valley as well as research completed by the Washington State Cooperative Extension Service. Our nursery staff is a team of gardeners who have a passion for plants. Stocking the tried & true garden favorites and unique varieties for the region, our Garden Center is your local gardening resource center.
Our Design. Your choice.
As part of our unique, flexible approach to landscaping, we offer optional "do-it-yourself" pricing as well as "direct-to-owner" subcontract bids. Our designers also utilize laptop computer estimating that enables you to get instant answers to your pricing and "what if" questions. Our designers carry a wide variety of product catalogues and landscape information for you to review as well. Our Garden Center allows you the ability to "see the plants before you start". Our installations include a range of design innovations, from mixed seasonal perennial plantings to unique "dry stream" arrangements that serve as an aesthetic alternative to common gravel landscape drains. Our award-winning ponds and waterfalls utilize a unique skimmer and biofalls system that functions as a self-regulating water ecosystem. In addition to our guaranteed work, you will receive a year-long discount at our Garden Center and you can sign up to receive our monthly garden tips via email to keep you and your yard on the right track.
Let's make this longterm.
We want to establish an ongoing relationship with you. We'll be happy to mail you announcements regarding plant sales and tours that we offer and our staff will always try to be courteous and helpful. Our installation clients also receive valuable discounts from the Garden Center after project completion. Finally, you will not find a better installation warranty than you'll get from us. As long as you take reasonably good care of your landscape, we guarantee newly installed plants for a year. If we are taking continuing care of your home site, we warranty the planting as long as our staff is maintaining your property.
