Ecological Landscaping and Garden Design in Mercer Island

Planning a Mercer Island landscape project? Rutheo Designs provides local design, installation, and stewardship services built for your property conditions and long-term goals.

Plant for the future.

Mercer Island properties often require site-specific planning for slope, drainage, canopy shade, and shoreline-sensitive conditions. Our team designs landscapes that balance ecological function with everyday usability, including native planting, edible gardens, and habitat-supporting layouts.

We connect each phase of work, from concept and material selection to installation and organic maintenance, so your landscape performs as one system instead of disconnected projects.

Land Acknowledgement

Rutheo Designs acknowledges that we live and work on the ancestral lands of the Coast Salish and Duwamish tribes, who have stewarded these ecosystems since time immemorial. We could not call this city home without the Salish People and the Duwamish Tribe.

We aim to honor the original caretakers of this land by preserving and restoring the natural ecosystem we live in, and educating others about the role indigenous communities have played in land stewardship since time immemorial. Using native and edible plants, minimizing our carbon footprint, and paying Real Rent to the Duwamish Tribal Nation are all ways we uphold our commitment.
