About Us

At Timber Drift, we believe that the best outdoor spaces are rooted in understanding—of the land, of the client, and of how the space will be used. Every project begins with a conversation, not a concept. We listen closely to learn how you live, what inspires you, and what you want from your landscape—whether it's a quiet retreat, an entertaining space, or a yard that works as hard as you do.

From there, we design with intention. Our process blends creativity with practicality, balancing form and function to ensure your space is not only beautiful, but resilient and usable year-round. We consider everything from wind patterns to seasonal color, and we design with the future in mind—so your investment grows in value and enjoyment over time.

With over two decades of experience in high-end residential design, we know that great landscapes don’t just happen—they’re thoughtfully built from the ground up.

At Timber Drift, our mission is to design and build outdoor spaces that elevate everyday living. We believe landscapes should be both beautiful and functional—crafted to reflect how our clients live while standing up to the unique challenges of the Inland Northwest.

By combining timeless design, expert craftsmanship, and practical resilience, we create environments that feel effortless, lasting, and truly personal.

 Kris is a licensed landscape architect with over 20 years of experience designing refined, functional outdoor spaces that feel like a natural extension of home. A lifelong Pacific Northwesterner, he brings a deep understanding of the region’s rhythms—from snowy winters to smoky summers—and designs with both beauty and resilience in mind. 

That’s why he founded Timber Drift—to bring thoughtful, functional, and lasting design to homeowners who want more from their outdoor spaces. Whether it’s a backyard built for entertaining, a fire-smart planting plan, or a full-scale renovation, Kris takes time to understand each client’s lifestyle and vision before the first sketch is ever drawn. With a practical eye and a creative heart, he blends craftsmanship with cost-effective solutions—so every project feels both inspired and intentional.
