White Center uneven patio repair contractor — Landscape Repair

Homeowner’s Issue

White Center yards face a particular set of challenges that cause patios to sink, heave, or become uneven. Heavy Pacific Northwest rainfall, seasonal saturation, and compacted silty-clay soils mean water often sits under pavers and concrete, washing away base material over time. Many homes here have shady corners from mature maples or evergreens, which leads to moss and slippery surfaces on patios. Slopes and terraces — common on lots near Roxhill Park and the West Seattle ridge — can cause runoff to undermine edges and create trip hazards. Improper original installation (insufficient gravel base, no compaction, or poor drainage) accelerates settling.

Homeowners want safe, attractive outdoor spaces that drain well and require little upkeep. Landscape Repair in White Center focuses on restoring stable foundations, regrading for proper runoff, and using sustainable, non-chemical methods to reduce moss and invasive ivy. The result is improved curb appeal, safer walking surfaces, and a patio that handles our wet winters without constant repair.

Our Quality Service

We diagnose the root cause, not just the symptom. For patios that are uneven from washout, root pressure, or poor compaction we:

• Inspect sub-base, soil, and edge conditions to identify drainage and slope issues.
• Lift and re-level pavers or reset concrete where possible, adding compacted gravel or aggregate base.
• Install subtle grading or a French drain when needed to divert water away from the patio.

We work with Seattle-area conditions in mind, choosing materials and techniques that reduce future movement and minimize maintenance. Safety, lasting results, and better curb appeal are our priorities.

Before & After / Expectations

Prepare for moderate noise and short-term disruption during work — compactors, saw-cutting, and trucks are normal for repairs. Expect some displaced soil and material while we access the base; we always clean up and tidy landscaping at the end of each day. For larger lifts or regrades plan for a 1–3 day window, depending on scope and weather.

Care tips after repair:

• Keep runoff directed away from the patio edge.
• In shady spots, sweep and remove moss regularly; allow light in by selective pruning.
• Avoid heavy loads on new sections for at least 48 hours after completion.

FAQs

• How long does a typical repair take?
  Most single-patio jobs finish in a day; more extensive base replacement or regrading can take 1–3 days.

• Will you use chemicals to kill moss or weeds?
  No. We use mechanical removal, organic treatments, and shade/drainage fixes — sustainable methods only.

• Do you handle permits or HOA requirements?
  We advise on local requirements and can help with documentation, but permits vary by project.

• Do you offer a written estimate?
  Yes — free photo-based estimates or in-person inspections with a clear scope and pricing.
