Seattle Remove old gravel

If your Seattle property has old gravel that’s looking tired and uninviting, it’s time to consider a refresh. Removing old gravel not only enhances your home’s curb appeal but also makes your outdoor space safer and more eco-friendly. With a few simple steps, you can transform your yard into a clean, low-maintenance area that you’ll be proud to show off.


Description & Benefits

What the service includes

Removing old gravel involves several tasks to ensure a clean and appealing outcome. The process typically includes:

  • Assessment: Evaluating the area to determine the amount of gravel to be removed and any underlying issues (like drainage).
  • Removal: Using tools such as shovels, rakes, and sometimes heavy machinery for larger areas to lift and transport the gravel.
  • Disposal: Properly disposing of the old gravel at a designated site, ensuring eco-friendly practices.
  • Site Preparation: Leveling the area and preparing it for new landscaping, whether that’s fresh gravel, grass, or garden beds.

Key benefits

  • Appearance: Fresh gravel or new landscaping can dramatically improve the look of your property, making it more inviting.
  • Durability: New gravel options can withstand Seattle’s rain better, reducing washout and erosion.
