Quality Hardscape Carpentry in Seattle & Surrounding Areas
Evan Hetrick
I’m Evan – a carpenter who has spent the last 20 years building custom homes on San Juan Island. Now, I’m living in the North end of Seattle with my wife and son.
My carpentry work focuses on simple, clean, quality solutions for your home with an emphasis on custom wooden hardscape, gates, and decks. Get in touch to explore how we can work together.
Our Services
My specialty is hardscape carpentry that enhances your outdoor spaces. Every project is built to harmonize with the environment and your vision. Whether you need help with your deck, garden, or home, here are some of the ways we can work together.
Whether it’s constructing a new deck or rehabbing an old one, I find the best way to make your outside living space what you’ve always wanted it to be.
Decks
Need a new gate? A gate is like the front door of your home – it is the first impression of your yard. Let’s focus on architectural design, aesthetics, and build quality for your gate project.
Gates
Garden beds are an architectural part of your home’s landscape. My focus is on matching material, size, and your vision to your outside space.

Kris M., Seattle
“I needed a deck replacement and hired Evan Hetrick to do the job. I am happy to report that I was extremely pleased with the job he did. He finished early, worked hard each day, came when he said was to be there, and continually checked in with me about the progress or questions. I especially appreciated that each night he cleaned up so that it was safe to move about the area. He had a good artistic eye for the job.”
Michael C., Seattle
"After 30 years I needed to replace 160 feet of backyard fencing. Evan laid it all out with enhancements & put it up perfectly with thoughtful transitions & impeccable detailing. The best part – we followed it up by having him install a wooden landscape platform, which turned a sloping backyard corner under two trees into a sweet retreat with a small table for two... I've got a request in to create another landscape platform under the edge of my rhodies... can't wait!"
Dina B., Colombia City
“"Evan built a beautiful deck and stairs in our backyard, and a beautiful group of planter boxes on a sloped driveway, all at our house in Columbia City. Many times people comment on how beautiful the planter boxes and the deck are. Evan is an exacting artist and an excellent craftsperson with a great sense of the practical. It was delightful to talk through my ideas with him, then see him bring them to life. I recommend his work 100%!"

We charge labor and materials rather than giving a project quote. Hourly rate for labor is $75/hr and materials are marked up 15% to cover the cost of purchasing, storing, delivering, and sourcing them. We generally give an expected range for the cost ahead of time so our clients can budget/plan.
