Gravel Installation in Seattle

Installing gravel in your landscape can be a smart choice for homeowners and property managers in Seattle. With its unique climate and soil conditions, gravel offers practical benefits like improved drainage, reduced maintenance, and enhanced curb appeal. Whether you’re creating a pathway, a driveway, or a decorative garden bed, gravel can serve multiple purposes effectively.

Why Choose Gravel?

Gravel is a versatile landscaping material that can help you achieve a polished look while minimizing upkeep. Here are a few reasons why you might want to consider gravel installation:

  • Drainage: Seattle’s rainy weather can lead to water pooling in yards. Gravel allows for better drainage, preventing water from sitting and causing damage.
  • Low Maintenance: Once installed, gravel requires minimal upkeep compared to grass or other landscaping materials. You won’t need to mow or water it.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: Gravel can enhance the visual appeal of your property, offering a clean and modern look that can increase your home’s value.
  • Cost-Effective: Gravel is generally less expensive than paving stones or concrete, making it a budget-friendly choice for many landscaping projects.

Our Approach

At Neat & Tidy, we prioritize making gravel installation easy and effective for you. Here’s how we do it:

  • Consultation: We start with a consultation to understand your needs and preferences. We can advise on the best type of gravel for your project, whether it’s for a driveway, path, or garden bed.
  • Site Preparation: Proper site preparation is crucial. We’ll clear the area of debris, weeds, and old materials, ensuring a clean slate for your new gravel.
  • Material Selection: We help you select the right type of gravel. Options include crushed stone, river rock, and pea gravel, each with its own unique look and function.
  • Installation: Our team will install the gravel to the proper depth and compact it for stability. This ensures longevity and prevents shifting.

We’re a low-maintenance landscaping crew. Our goal is fewer problems between visits and less work for you.


Service Cadences

To keep your gravel areas looking pristine, we offer various service cadences:

  • Quarterly: A spring and fall deep clean, plus two tune-ups to refresh your gravel areas.
  • Bi-Monthly: Balanced care for most yards, ensuring your gravel stays tidy and functional.
  • Monthly: Ideal for high-visibility properties and rentals, providing consistent upkeep and attention.

What’s Included

When you choose our gravel installation service, here’s what you can expect:

  • Site Assessment: We evaluate your space to recommend the best gravel options.
  • Material Delivery: We arrange for the gravel to be delivered directly to your site.
  • Installation: Our team handles all aspects of the installation process.
  • Cleanup: We ensure your property is left clean and free of debris.
  • Maintenance Tips: We provide simple care tips to help you maintain your gravel areas.

Why It Matters

Understanding the importance of gravel installation can save you time, money, and headaches down the road:

  • Safety: Properly installed gravel pathways reduce the risk of slips and falls, especially in wet conditions.
  • Curb Appeal: A well-maintained gravel area can enhance your home’s appearance, making it more attractive to visitors and potential buyers.
  • Drainage: Good drainage prevents water buildup, reducing the risk of flooding and erosion.
  • Cost Savings: Less maintenance means more savings in the long run, allowing you to allocate your resources elsewhere.
