Driveway Transformation with Retaining Wall and Fence: Kevin’s Experience with Lee’s General Landscaping

Reviews

At Lee’s General Landscaping, we excel at tackling challenging landscaping projects with innovative solutions and meticulous execution. Kevin P., a Seattle homeowner, trusted us to replace problematic arborvitae along his driveway with a custom retaining wall and cedar fence. His review highlights our professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to bring his vision to life. Here’s what Kevin shared:

“We got quotes from a few companies to get rid of some arborvitae lining our driveway that were actually busting up the concrete. The trees were on a slight slope that ran from our driveway down to the neighbor’s property. So we were looking to have them put in a retaining wall that ran the length of the driveway, and we put a nice 6′ cedar fence on top. We also connected that fence to the existing run of fence.

Duy showed up when he said and was very professional and helpful with his ideas. We got a quote a few days later and decided to go with Lee’s. So glad we did! Not only did they show up every morning on time, but they were professional and cleaned up the area nicely every day before they left.

The one thing that really struck me was that Duy showed up every morning and came to the door to walk us through the progress. He asked any questions they might have had for the day and even gave us a few ideas that we couldn’t see but ended up looking great. All in all, the project turned out exactly how we envisioned, and we are now ready to get our old cracked driveway replaced.

We are planning on reaching out to Lee’s again to have them landscape our tired front yard. Highly recommended!”


Scope of Work: Retaining Wall and Fence Installation

Kevin’s project required removing damaged arborvitae and replacing them with a durable, attractive retaining wall and cedar fence:

  • Arborvitae Removal: Clearing trees causing damage to the driveway and creating a clean slate for improvements.
  • Retaining Wall Installation: Constructing a functional wall along the slope to stabilize the area and protect the driveway.
  • Cedar Fence Installation: Building a 6’ cedar fence atop the retaining wall and connecting it seamlessly to the existing fence.
  • Daily Walkthroughs: Providing updates, addressing questions, and refining details with customer input.

Best Practices in Action
