Expert Landscaping in Seattle, WA

We handle residential and commercial landscaping across the Seattle area: weekly lawn care and mowing, moss control, planting and garden care, sod installation, paver patios and walkways, retaining walls and rockeries, cedar fencing, French drains and yard drainage, seasonal cleanups, and 24/7 emergency storm, tree, and drainage response. A site assessment tells us whether your property needs recurring maintenance, a focused repair, a planting plan, or a full redesign.

Costs vary with scope. Basic lawn maintenance commonly runs $68–$203 per visit, seasonal cleanups $203–$540 per visit, paver patios $2,230–$6,450, and retaining walls $3,620–$10,000. A full backyard redesign can range from $6,750–$33,750. Site prep, access, materials, drainage, grading, permits, disposal, and project size all move the final number. We give every customer a written, line-item estimate — call (323) 606-0255 for a free quote.

Seattle moss usually comes from a mix of shade, soil acidity, poor drainage, compaction, and excess moisture — the same conditions Seattle Public Utilities cites. Scraping off visible moss without fixing the underlying cause just invites it back. We treat the conditions first: aeration to relieve compaction, drainage correction, pH and soil work, and overseeding or sod once the ground can actually support healthy turf.

Generally, a Seattle retaining wall does not need a construction permit when it is four feet or lower, sits outside an environmentally critical area, and does not threaten adjoining property. Taller walls, walls in critical areas, and walls tied to grading or drainage work often require review and engineering. We verify current Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections (SDCI) requirements for your specific lot before we build.

Yes. We are a registered Washington contractor and carry liability insurance, so your property is protected before any work begins. Washington's framework includes L&I registration, a general-contractor bond, and public-liability and property-damage coverage. We're happy to confirm our current credentials in writing when you request an estimate.

Fall and early spring are the strongest windows for planting and drainage work — soil moisture supports establishment and water problems are easy to see after rain. Summer is ideal for patios, retaining walls, grading, and irrigation installation when conditions are dry. That said, our lawn care, cleanups, and emergency storm response run year-round.

Yes. We run 24/7 emergency dispatch for fallen trees and limbs, storm damage, yard flooding, and winter snow and ice. When a Douglas fir comes down on a fence or water is pooling toward your foundation, call (323) 606-0255 and we'll get a crew moving as fast as safely possible.

A good estimate should be a written, line-item document — not a single lump-sum number. Ours spells out the site condition, labor, any demolition and disposal, soil preparation and grading, drainage work, materials and plants, irrigation, permit or engineering assumptions, the schedule and payment milestones, cleanup, warranty terms, and the maintenance handoff. Getting each item in writing is what lets you compare bids apples-to-apples, so we recommend requesting at least three written estimates.

It depends on the cause of the problem and how you use the yard. Sod gives an immediate, uniform result; seed suits some budgets and seasons; and a full replacement makes sense when a lawn is in widespread decline after the soil and grading are corrected. In deep shade, on steep slopes, or in low-use areas, groundcovers or planting beds often outperform turf. As a benchmark, Seattle sod commonly runs $0.35–$0.85 per square foot for material, while a complete new-lawn installation with prep and grading can reach $1–$4 per square foot.

We start by tracing the runoff — where water starts, where it travels, and where it needs to go — then inspect the soil, slope, and existing outlets. From there we choose the right fix or combination: regrading, a French drain or catch basin, soil restoration, a rain garden, bioretention, or permeable paving. Repeated reseeding or extra mulch won't redirect water moving across compacted glacial-till soil. The written scope names the outlet, excavation, disposal, access limits, and protection for paths, foundations, and neighboring property.

We serve Seattle and the wider Puget Sound region across King and Snohomish counties — including Shoreline, Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Renton, Burien, Tukwila, Edmonds, Lynnwood, Everett, and many more. We also take on projects farther out across Western Washington. Not sure if you're in range? Call us and we'll confirm your service radius.
