Transforming Outdoor Spaces in Issaquah: Plant Removal, Sod Installation, and Retaining Wall Construction

Terrain, tips and tricks

Your yard deserves to be a place of beauty and functionality, but sometimes it takes a professional touch to bring it all together. At Lee’s General Landscaping, we specialize in comprehensive landscaping projects, from plant removal and sod installation to custom retaining walls. A recent inquiry from an Issaquah homeowner highlights the kind of transformations we can achieve.


Customer Query: Revamping a Yard for a Fresh Look

“I need assistance with several landscaping tasks: removing old plants and their roots, transplanting existing plants to different areas, removing the current sod, installing new sod, and building a stone retaining wall to define and stabilize part of the yard.”


Our Recommendations for Issaquah Homeowners

1. Plant Removal and Transplanting

Clearing plants and roots requires expertise to avoid regrowth and to prepare the area for new landscaping elements. We recommend:

  • Root Removal: Complete extraction ensures the area is ready for sod installation or other uses.
  • Transplanting Tips: With careful preparation, your healthy plants can be relocated to thrive in new areas of your yard.

2. Sod Removal and Installation

A lush, even lawn starts with the right foundation. For Issaquah’s mild but damp climate, we recommend:

  • Sod Removal: Clearing old sod allows us to prepare the soil for optimal turf growth.
  • New Sod Installation: We use high-quality sod suited to the Pacific Northwest, ensuring durability and vibrancy year-round.
  • Pro Tip: Proper watering and maintenance after installation are key to a seamless, healthy lawn.

3. Stone Retaining Wall

Retaining walls are both functional and aesthetic. For this project, we suggest:

  • Material Selection: Natural stone blends beautifully with Issaquah’s scenic surroundings.
  • Durable Design: Our retaining walls are built to withstand erosion and rainfall common to the area.
  • Customization: Add curves or tiers for visual appeal and to create usable space in sloped yards.
