About
Albert Residence
It really does blend in with the area both in topography as well as in the colors and landscape.
John and Christina Albert of Seattle built their contemporary home on a waterfront lot near Turtle Rock just steps from the Columbia River as a vacation home, but fell so in love with their waterfront retreat that they quickly made it their family’s primary residence.
They asked Anderson Landscaping to create a landscape that would complement the subtle, sophisticated architectural design, blending a modern, minimalist aesthetic with the natural beauty of the river and the arid hillsides of eastern Washington.
Indigenous
Plants and Materials
This gorgeous new home required a landscape to match, something that was classy and modern in style, yet still very inviting.”
A fountain made from the basalt ubiquitous around North Central Washington echoes the dome of Turtle Rock itself as it emerges just across the water. The use of so many indigenous materials guarantees a long-lasting, drought-tolerant and low maintenance landscape that the Albert family can enjoy indefinitely.
The Ballards put their complete faith in Joe and the Anderson team. The result was a completely reimagined landscape with new lawn areas welcoming paths and cascading floral walls. The Ballards say not only do they enjoy it everyday, but that they have neighbors constantly telling them how much they enjoy it as well.

The Floods now enjoy their one-of-a-kind, rustic, free-stacked stone patio fireplace that incorporates local basalt and driftwood elements. Carefully placed plantings create both a sense of openness and a sense of privacy around the estate, and a custom iron gate mounted on basalt columns provides a magnificent entry.
