About The Founder
Raised on landscaping job sites, Jordan learned the trade from the ground up in his family’s business. But before returning to his roots to establish Stillwaters Land Design, he took a path that uniquely shaped his approach to the industry.
​
A U.S. Navy veteran, Jordan served for six years in a special operations squadron—a role that instilled an uncompromising attention to detail. He later transitioned to the corporate sector, managing business development and sustainability projects for companies such as Amazon & Eddie Bauer. To further elevate his craft, he is currently pursuing a Master’s in Landscape Architecture.
​
Today, he bridges those worlds, bringing the discipline of a veteran, the organization of a project manager, and the eye of a designer to every project. He brings a curated approach to planting, using specimen conifers and Japanese maples to elevate the landscape’s character without it feeling forced or overly ornamental. Jordan doesn’t just build outdoor spaces or plant trees; he is dedicated to creating authentic spaces that connect clients to the outdoors. Based in Everett, he lives where he works, exploring the PNW with his wife, their twins, and their two dogs.
Our Approach
Designed for Life. Built with Respect.
t Stillwaters Land Design, we bridge the gap between high-level design theory and practical, hands-on craftsmanship. We don't just fill space; we create environments.
Authentic Design & Scale
We believe a landscape should look like it has always been there. Achieving this requires designing to scale. We don’t clutter a space with small rocks when a single, well-placed boulder can make the necessary statement. Hardscaping is often a once-in-a-lifetime investment; we ensure your stone, grade, and structure feel permanent and grounded, not temporary.
Sustainability & Harmony
We view every project through a lens of stewardship. While we prioritize your vision, we look for opportunities to harmonize with the environment rather than fight it—whether that's choosing permeable surfaces for better drainage or selecting plants that serve a purpose. We might choose a perennial not just for its bloom, but for its seed pods that feed local birds in winter, creating a living system rather than just a decoration.
The Truth About Maintenance
We are honest with our clients: there is no such thing as "no maintenance." Even the most natural garden is a man-made space. However, by designing with the right plants in the right places, we reduce the burden. We create landscapes that live together in harmony, minimizing the need for constant intervention so you can spend more time enjoying your yard and less time working in it.
Uncompromising Professionalism
Your home is a sanctuary, not a construction zone. We operate with a "clean site" policy, tidying up daily to minimize disruption to you and your neighbors. We focus on quality over speed, working deliberately to ensure every detail is executed with precision. If challenges arise, we communicate them immediately—always with a solution in hand.
Our Quality Commitment
We take great pride in our work and stand behind the quality of our craftsmanship. Stillwaters Land Design & Installation is committed to delivering superior results that exceed expectations. We strive for excellence in every aspect of landscape design and installation, ensuring the satisfaction of our clients.
