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.

Our Recommendations for Mercer Island Homeowners

1. Grass Regrowth

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

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.

  • Pro Tip: Consider integrating lighting along pathways for added safety and ambiance.

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.
