Cross Creek Landscape Design + Build

Cross Creek Landscape Design + Build is a landscaping and landscape design company serving Post Falls, Idaho, from our Coeur d'Alene office. Post Falls sits on the Spokane River between Coeur d'Alene and the Washington state line.

Every project here starts the same way: a free on-site consultation, a survey of the property, and a design and blueprints drawn by our own landscape designers. Then our own crews build it, one team from excavation to the final install. Call the Coeur d'Alene office at (208) 518-9480 to book a visit.

Local Know-How

Building in
Post Falls

We design and build across Post Falls, from the neighborhoods along the Spokane River near Falls Park and Q'emiln Park to the subdivisions spreading north onto the prairie.

Over the aquifer

Post Falls sits over the Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer, in the coarse gravel the Ice Age floods laid down. It drains fast, which suits patio bases and makes irrigation design matter: without well-planned zones, lawns and beds dry out quickly in July.

On the river

River-frontage lots come with shoreline rules. In unincorporated Kootenai County, the first 25 feet above the Spokane River's ordinary high water mark is a shoreline management area; inside city limits, the City's own rules apply. Work near the bank starts with knowing which is which.

Winters that test hardscape

Freeze-thaw lifts pavers laid on a thin base and pushes walls built without drainage. A patio here needs a compacted base deep enough for frost, and a retaining wall needs drainage behind it so water can't freeze and push it out of line.

New homes, blank yards

Post Falls has grown fast, and many newer homes start with a basic builder's yard. That is a blank slate for a plan: the whole yard designed once, then built in phases as the budget allows, each stage fitting the finished design.

Common Questions

Post Falls
Landscaping FAQs

Yes. Post Falls is a short drive west of our Coeur d'Alene office, and we design and build across the city, from the river to the prairie. The first visit, an on-site consultation, is free.

Yes, with the shoreline rules in mind. Work near the water may need a site plan or permit, depending on whether the lot is inside city limits or in unincorporated Kootenai County, and walls and planting along the bank are designed to keep soil out of the river.

Yes. Artificial turf is one of our design + build services, and laid on a properly compacted base over the prairie's fast-draining gravel, it sheds water quickly and stays green without irrigation.

Generally only for a wall taller than four feet from the bottom of its footing, or one holding back extra load like a driveway or a slope above. Most garden walls are shorter. The design accounts for it either way.

Typically about two weeks from the survey, a little more for large yards or several rounds of changes. Designing in the off-season means the build is ready to schedule when the ground thaws.
