White Center Landscape Repair
Homeowner’s Issue
Seattle-area yards, especially in White Center and nearby West Seattle or Burien, face heavy winter rainfall, compacted glacial soils, and shaded slopes that hold moisture and moss. Many homes contend with poor drainage, gullied beds, invasive weeds, and lawn thinning under dense canopy. North- and west-facing slopes get limited sun, increasing moss and ivy pressure; flat yards often puddle after storms. Curb appeal suffers when retaining walls lean, paths sink, or edging rots. Homeowners want safe, low-maintenance yards that handle Seattle’s heavy rains, protect foundations, and look tidy year-round. Typical local needs include improving slope drainage, regrading for runoff away from houses, restoring compacted soil with organic amendments, replacing failing turf with hardy, shade-tolerant plantings, and removing invasive vines without herbicides. Landscape Repair here focuses on durable fixes that respect steep grades, protect stormwater, and reduce repeated maintenance—especially important near Lincoln Park, the Duwamish corridor, or Highline neighborhoods where runoff and slopes can be challenging.
Our Quality Service
We repair landscapes with sustainable methods: regrading for proper drainage, rebuilding garden beds with organic soil mixes, installing erosion control on slopes, and repairing or replacing failing hardscape. We rely on mechanical weed removal, organic mulches, and native or regionally adapted plants to reduce repeat visits. Local knowledge of rainfall patterns and soil compaction guides our approach. Benefits include improved safety on slopes, restored curb appeal, reduced ongoing maintenance, and longer-lasting results that handle Puget Sound weather.

Before & After / Expectations
Expect some noise, soil movement, and material staging on-site during repair days. We’ll need clear access to drip lines and any hardscape areas; please remove fragile items beforehand. After work, expect improved drainage, firmer paths, and fresh planting. Post-repair care: water new plantings deeply for the first season, keep mulch 2–3” away from trunks, monitor for reemerging weeds and remove by hand, and watch for settling on regraded areas.
