Transforming a Seattle Yard into a Durable, Functional Oasis: Molly’s Story

Reviews

At Lee’s General Landscaping, we pride ourselves on creating outdoor spaces that not only look great but stand the test of time. Molly S., a Seattle homeowner, shared her experience after hiring us for several projects in 2019. Her yard became a sanctuary during the pandemic, thanks to the durable and functional work we provided. Here’s what Molly had to say:

“In the summer and fall of 2019, we had Lee’s do several things for us. They were awesome, all has maintained so well over time, and we are SO GRATEFUL that our yard has been in good shape for heavy use during the pandemic. First, they installed a large back patio with brick-looking pavers. The continued appearance and drainage has been great. Second, they removed sparse, sad grass and bamboo (yes, bamboo!) from our side yard, and they tackled the bamboo in a very effective and efficient way (it hasn’t come back!). Then, they installed turf in our side yard, which is now great for playing soccer, having the dogs play, etc. (It has reduced the dirt that comes indoors so much! And still looks really good.) Finally, they replaced an old wooden fence with a nice new one. All was done so well, with great communication and a fair price. We love Lee’s.”

Scope of Work: Comprehensive Yard Transformation

Molly’s project included a variety of tasks, each designed to enhance the usability and aesthetic appeal of her outdoor space:

  1. Patio Installation: A large back patio with brick-style pavers that boasts excellent drainage and durability.
  2. Bamboo and Grass Removal: Sparse grass and invasive bamboo were efficiently removed, ensuring the bamboo didn’t return.
  3. Turf Installation: A new turf side yard perfect for soccer, dogs, and reducing indoor dirt.
  4. Fence Replacement: Replacing an old wooden fence with a sturdy, attractive new one for added privacy and style.

Best Practices in Action

  • Expert Craftsmanship: Each element of the project, from paver installation to turf and fence work, was completed with precision.
