Backyard Remodel in Mercer Island: Grass, Pavers, and Deck Upgrades

Tip's & Tricks

A well-designed backyard transforms your home into a personal retreat and an inviting space for family and friends. At Lee’s General Landscaping, we specialize in complete backyard remodels, from re-growing lush grass to paving brick pathways and upgrading decks. A recent inquiry from a Mercer Island homeowner illustrates the possibilities for creating a stunning outdoor space.

“We’re looking to remodel our backyard, including re-growing the grass, adding paved brick pathways, and potentially remodeling the deck. We’re open to suggestions for additional upgrades to enhance the space. We are available anytime and would like an estimate as soon as possible.”


Our Recommendations for Mercer Island Homeowners

1. Grass Regrowth

Revitalizing your lawn creates a vibrant foundation for your backyard remodel.

2. Paving Brick Pathways

Brick pathways add charm and functionality to your outdoor space.

  • Custom Layouts: Design pathways to connect key areas like the deck, garden, and seating areas.
  • Durable Materials: Use weather-resistant pavers to withstand Mercer Island’s rainy conditions.
  • Pro Tip: Consider integrating lighting along pathways for added safety and ambiance.

3. Deck Remodeling

An updated deck is a focal point for entertaining and relaxation.

  • Material Options: Upgrade to composite decking for durability or refinished wood for a classic look.
  • Enhanced Features: Add railings, built-in seating, or planters to maximize usability.
