Seattle regrade low spots in lawn

If you’re dealing with low spots in your lawn, you’re not alone. Many Seattle homeowners face this issue due to the region’s unique topography and rainfall patterns. Low spots can lead to water pooling, creating muddy patches that detract from your lawn’s beauty and can even pose safety hazards. The good news is that regrading these areas is a straightforward solution. By leveling your lawn, you can enhance curb appeal, improve safety, and reduce maintenance. Plus, a well-graded lawn is more eco-friendly, as it promotes better drainage and healthier grass growth.


Description & Benefits

Regrading low spots in your lawn involves several tasks:

  • Seeding or Sodding: We finish by reseeding or laying sod in the regraded areas, promoting healthy grass growth.

Key Benefits
