Transforming Overgrown Yards in Seattle: Leah’s Wild Yard Makeover

Reviews

At Lee’s General Landscaping, we love tackling challenging projects and bringing neglected outdoor spaces back to life. Leah B., a Seattle homeowner, found us through Yelp and trusted us to tame her overgrown front and backyard. Her kind review captures the transformation and her satisfaction with our work. Here’s what Leah had to say:

“I found Lee’s through Yelp while searching for a landscaper that could tame our wild front and backyard. We messaged over Yelp and agreed on a date for an estimate.

They arrived on time and were very informative about what could be done to our property to tidy everything up.

The following week their crew arrived at 8 a.m. on the dot and got to work like gardening ninjas. (My dog didn’t even know they were working until about an hour in.)

They pruned bushes, topped trees, whacked back wild bamboo, and even hauled away a small collection of debris we had accumulated over 5 years of neglecting our yard.

The whole project took 1.5 days, and our property has never looked better. Thanks Mr. Lee & crew!”

Scope of Work: Full Yard Cleanup and Restoration

Leah’s project required taming an overgrown front and backyard that hadn’t been maintained in years. The work included:

  • Bush Pruning: Trimming back unruly bushes for a clean, polished look.
  • Tree Topping: Safely reducing the height of trees to improve aesthetics and light.
  • Bamboo Removal: Cutting back wild bamboo to regain control of the yard.
  • Debris Haul-Away: Removing years of accumulated debris to leave the yard spotless.

Challenges & Solutions

  • Severe Overgrowth: With five years of neglect, Leah’s yard required significant effort to restore its appearance. Our crew worked efficiently, addressing each area with precision.
  • Bamboo Management: Bamboo can be particularly stubborn, but our team used effective techniques to whack it back and create a manageable space.
  • Time Efficiency: The entire project was completed in just 1.5 days, transforming Leah’s yard quickly and thoroughly.
