White Center Landscape Repair

Homeowner’s Issue

White Center yards take a beating from Puget Sound weather — frequent rain, cool cloudy stretches, and seasonal sun gaps under big evergreens. Soils here tend to be a mix of compacted loam and pockets of clay that hold water and encourage moss, shallow roots, and pothole-like depressions. That means drainage problems, slumping slopes, and loose structures (like fence panels) are common, especially on properties near Highland Park or close to West Seattle’s hills. We also see aggressive ivy and blackberry volunteers in older beds, and shaded lawns that thin out or develop moss. Homeowners want solutions that improve curb appeal, keep maintenance low, and respect Seattle’s rainy rhythm. Landscape Repair in White Center should address grading, soil health, and durable fastening — not just quick fixes. Sustainable techniques — mulching, organic compost, mechanical weed control, and improved surface drainage — deliver longer-lasting results and reduce repeat visits. If your yard is pooling water, losing edges, or showing leaning fences after storms, a local-focused repair plan will protect plants, pets, and property value while keeping future upkeep manageable.

Our Quality Service

We fix the underlying problem, not just the symptom. For Landscape Repair we start with a site assessment looking at slopes, soil, and runoff paths, then recommend targeted fixes: regrading low spots, installing gravel drains behind fence lines, reinforcing posts, and improving soil structure with organic amendments. Work is timed for dry windows where possible to minimize compaction and disturbance. We use hand tools and mechanical aids appropriately, avoid herbicides, and favor organic or mechanical weed control so your yard stays healthy and pet‑safe. Benefits include better safety, improved curb appeal, reduced erosion, and lower maintenance over time.

What’s Included

• Full inspection of fence lines, posts, grading, and nearby planting beds.
• Tightening and reinforcement of loose fence panels; selective fastener replacement.
• Simple regrading or spot drainage solutions to divert surface water.
• Soil improvement (topsoil or compost) to promote healthy planting zones.
• Clean-up and responsible disposal or green‑bin hauling of green waste.
• Photo documentation before and after work.

Options / Upgrades:

• Mulch + landscape fabric under new planting beds (organic fabric on request).
• Organic weed control and targeted ivy removal (mechanical).
• Haul‑away vs. green‑bin drop‑off for yard debris.
• Planting low‑maintenance native shrubs to stabilize slopes.

Before & After / Expectations

Expect some noise and temporary soil disturbance during repair days; we keep work windows reasonable and tidy up daily. Access to the yard is helpful — gates or driveway parking makes the day move faster. Typical small jobs finish in a few hours; larger grading or multi‑panel reinforcement may take a day. After work, water new soil lightly for the first few weeks, pull any reappearing weeds early, and keep ivy trimmed away from repaired fence bases. For moss-prone lawns, increase sunlight and airflow where possible and topdress with compost to encourage thicker turf.

FAQs

  We often schedule a free estimate within 3–7 business days and can book work during a dry forecast window.

• Do you use herbicides?
  No — we use sustainable, non‑chemical methods: manual removal, organic options, and mulches.
