If your outdoor spaces have become unruly and unmanageable, now is the perfect time to take action. At Lee’s General Landscaping, we specialize in turning chaotic landscapes into beautiful, functional, and sustainable spaces. Whether your yard requires excavation, soil replacement, or structural upgrades, we’re here to help! Let’s dive into a recent inquiry we received from a Kirkland homeowner and explore the best services to address these challenges.
Customer Query: Reclaiming an Overgrown Yard
“Our front yard has bamboo growing out of control, with poor-quality, lumpy topsoil that needs complete excavation and grading. We want to replace it with high-quality topsoil and create a manageable landscape. The side and back yards need trimming for now, but full landscaping can wait until next year or the year after. Additionally, we’d like to replace the front porch, create walkways, and address our driveway, which may need either repaving or a full rebuild with an adjacent retaining wall depending on the cost.”
Preferred availability for an estimate: Tuesday-Friday after 5 PM, Saturdays after 4 PM, or Sundays and Mondays with some flexibility.
Our Recommendations for Kirkland Homeowners
1. Front Yard Overhaul
- Excavation & Grading: Removing bamboo is no small task. We’ll start by excavating the area and grading it to create a level base. This ensures stability and proper drainage.
- Topsoil Replacement: Adding high-quality, nutrient-rich soil tailored to Kirkland’s climate ensures a strong foundation for your future landscaping plans.
- Pro Tip: Consider native plants like Red Flowering Currant or Western Columbine for a low-maintenance, eco-friendly garden.
2. Back and Side Yards Maintenance
- Cutting and Clearing: While a full redesign can wait, we can clear overgrowth to make these areas manageable and visually appealing in the interim.
- Future Planning: Ask about our design consultation services to develop a landscaping strategy that works within your timeline and budget.
3. Structural Upgrades
- Front Porch Replacement: We’ll help you select durable, weather-resistant materials for a porch that enhances your home’s curb appeal.
- Walkway Installation: Custom sidewalks or pathways will improve accessibility and add charm to your yard.
- Driveway Solutions: Depending on your budget, we can repave your existing driveway or create a shorter, reinforced driveway with a new retaining wall. Both options will improve functionality and durability.
