Homeowners in Anchorage know that a short growing season, cool soil temps, and unpredictable thaw cycles make traditional in-ground planting a challenge. Well-built garden beds solve those problems, creating warmer soil, improving drainage, and keeping moose from trampling delicate starts. CountBricks specializes in designing, estimating, and installing beds in Anchorage AK that thrive—even when summer feels like it lasts only a weekend.
CountBricks isn’t just a contractor—we are a technology partner. Our AI-driven platform listens to your needs in real time, generates material lists, and prices lumber, hardware, soil mixes, and labor against live local supplier feeds. Within minutes you receive:
• A voice-captured project brief turned into a shareable estimate
• Blueprint takeoffs that translate your sketch into precise cut sheets

The client saved an estimated $2,400 in mobilization costs and enjoyed their first backyard dinner under the pergola before Labor Day.
