Artful landscapes built to last
By Like Media Team
DreamScapes redefines outdoor spaces in the Inland Northwest, crafting landscapes that blend artistry with longevity. Owned by Ira Conger, the company has evolved from a service-based business into a premier landscape installation firm known for its expertise in stonework, pavers, large-format porcelain tile, and water features. The entire DreamScapes team is made up of locals who understand the unique challenges of the Inland Northwest terrain.
“We decided to move from service-based to install-based after years of fixing others’ work,” says Ira. “We wanted to make our work functional art that will outlast most people’s lifetime. There is permanence in stone and blockwork when it is done right.”
DreamScapes provides residential grounds maintenance and takes on projects across the Inland Northwest, transforming bare land or redesigning existing landscapes. Their adaptable approach allows designs to evolve as the project takes shape. “We don’t marry our work to a design, as many things change. We flow with that to create something we are proud to leave with our client.”
Much of their work comes through word-of-mouth referrals. “Our customer base is usually a bit savvy and elegant,” Ira explains. “They either have saved and been conservative and now wish to treat themselves, or they appreciate our work and style. Ninety percent of our larger work comes from word of mouth—when your friends see the patio we put in… they want one too.”
As a licensed general contractor, the team often handles utility work alongside their landscape installations. One of their biggest challenges is access—navigating drainage, slope transitions, and permeability requires the right tools and expertise. “We have invested in compact yet powerful equipment designed to navigate tight or hard-to-reach spaces.”
In Windermere Heights, DreamScapes took on a challenging project to replace failing walls that were putting homes below at risk. This homeowner shared their experience:
“We called Ira for a consultation and looked no further. It was clear he was an expert. The job required removing the driveway, installing a new drainage system, and rebuilding the retaining wall with steps. He communicated every step, keeping us informed throughout the process. They were always on time, precise and completed this complex job quickly. The final result is stunning, and we receive constant compliments. DreamScapes is, without question, the company to trust for any outdoor project.” – Dr. Crum, OMFS
While DreamScapes provides design input, most clients trust the team to bring their vision to life. “Our work creates inviting and inspiring spaces that encourage people to step outside and fully embrace each season with those they cherish,” says Ira. “When we hand our clients back their space, it’s to new friends, giving them a place to enjoy, find peace, and create moments that will be cherished for a lifetime.”
