It's Spring in Spokane
It’s Landscaping Season around
That’s right: Warm weather means Cascading Creations will move into high gear performing Spokane landscaping and hardscaping jobs. That’s not to say we were idle during the winter; in fact, we did lots of snow removal while we finished off the final phase of putting together GardenStone Creations’ stone engraving business.
We anticipate high demand not only because we are totally cool, good and what we do and fun to work with, but because these days, people are thinking more of improving the homes they have than “trading up” for a better house. While the real estate market recovers, we’re there adding value to homes with hardscaping and water features, including retaining walls, fountains, patios and more. Plus, winter and spring rain leave wear and tear, and now’s the time for us to finish demolition and landscaping site cleanup jobs.
We’re pros; we can get your job done fast and in such a way that it blends seamlessly into the surrounding environment. If you want to do it yourself, however, we have a couple of great options available.
First, get your stuff from our landscaping materials yard. We have a huge variety of materials including stone, driftwood, and fertilizer (or as we like to call it, “crap” – it’s good fertilizer, that’s just where it comes from). The yard is right beside our offices and GardenStone Creations, so we’ve got everything from the heavy stuff you need for landscaping to stone engravings and garden décor from local artisans, all in one location. Use it all to create the perfect space.
Second, if you’ve always wanted to get giant machines to do your bidding, we can help you. Become a landscaping customer helper and you’ll be able to operate our heavy equipment in your own landscaping job, under close supervision to make sure that you’re not only safe and sound, but will do a great job on as much or as little of your landscaping as you want.
Whether you want our help, our stuff or a chance at the controls, contact us for Spokane landscaping work; you’ll be more than satisfied and have a little fun.

GardenStone Creations: More Than Personalized Stone Engraving
Now that we’ve opened our stone engraving store in
That’s because we always wanted this to be a local business that not only serves the community, but shows it the great artisanship and opportunity that’s all around. Kelly mentions in her TV interview that the local community is a big part of GardenStone Creations. This is not only true for our customers and nearby artisans, but for the other businesses and institutions that made the launch possible.
That’s why GardenStone Décor is an expanding part of our site, and represents the kinds of things you can find in our brick and mortar store too other than great stone engravings for your home and garden. It’s the section that showcases local crafts above and beyond personalized stone engraving to woodwork, metalwork, antiques and other examples of the local community’s creativity. That’s why Kelly pointed out the metalwork in the store. We want to give back to the community because it’s done so much for us.
Remember too, that besides GardenStone Creations our

The Fine Art Of Demolition
The Fine Art of Demolition
Spring is a wonderful time, when a young man’s fancy turns to destroying things, loading them into large containers and taking them away, never to be seen again. Well, this is true for Cascading Creations, at least! As we swing into the Spokane landscaping season one of the first things many clients want is a demolition and clean up of their existing site. They’ve got shacks that need crushing, old retaining walls that need wrecking and decks that need dismantling. And afterwards, they need to get rid of the mess.
It’s a fun time for us. As you can see in the demolition video we posted recently we’ve got some big landscaping machines ready to do the job. We’re also lucky to have been doing landscaping and hardscaping in Washington State for long enough that we’ve made some great professional contacts. We’re a family business, with a community-based outlook, so we enjoy working with people in complimentary trades and industries. It makes us stronger as a company to have great people on call for specialized jobs – folks like Jason from Busy Bee Recycling, who helped us out in the video.
Like I said, we have fun – but we always stay safe. Even though we joke around on the video, we have years of experience working around demolition sites with this equipment. (And no, I’m not really trying to smack Jason with 500 pounds of junk). Demolition and cleanup are definitely more complicated than they look, so before you rent some heavy equipment and try it yourself, think about what you might not know. Then call us. We not only get it done with a smile, we can take you all the way through the process of landscaping your property after the demolition and cleanup. Plus, we even know how to get you safely involved. Take a look at our landscaping customer helper page, where we supervise customers on our equipment!

“I’m overjoyed that GardenStone is moving forward as its own thing,” said GardenStone Creations head Monte Tareski. “Nowadays, some people are glum about new business possibilities, but I think we’ve opened the store at just the right time. People are refocusing on their existing homes instead of moving and taking on new mortgages. They want to make their houses beautiful and unique. We’re there to help them with our artisanship.”

GardenStone Creations Expands to Buck the Recession
With the help of Inland Northwest Bank, a stone engraving company moves forward despite a rough economy.
Since its Inception, GardenStone Creations has unveiled an online store, expanded its product range and now, is ready to do business from a retail location the company built from the ground up. In an era where small businesses are failing due to a combination of poor consumer confidence and institutions unwilling to extend credit, the company has enjoyed improved business based on two factors: customer loyalty and the unwavering support of Inland Northwest Bank.
“It’s tough times for a lot of people, but we’ve been fortunate enough to be part of a great community,” said GardenStone Creations owner Kelly Tareski. “We have strong roots here in the Pacific Northwest. People care about us as a business and as people. I really have to hand it to Inland Northwest Bank for recognizing our potential and backing us up, even as other banks are leery of investing in small business.
“The Spokane Valley Insider has also helped us with a ‘buy local’ profile, and great people like our concrete contractor, Smiley’s Construction, have done tremendous things for us. Really, there are too many people to thank in a few short sentences.”
GardenStone Creations has kept a video diary of the store’s development on Youtube at http://www.youtube.com/user/CascadingCreations. Visitors will be able to see examples of the company’s stone engraving, buy engraved garden stones and other decorations, and order custom work.
