Transforming Your Backyard: Expert Landscaping in Ballard, WA

Tip's & Tricks

If your backyard has become an overgrown tangle of brush and old shrubs, you’re not alone. Many Seattle homeowners seek to reclaim their outdoor spaces with simple, clean solutions like mulch. At Lee’s General Landscaping, we specialize in clearing overgrown vegetation and creating manageable, low-maintenance landscapes tailored to your needs. Let’s look at a recent inquiry from a Ballard homeowner and discuss how we can help!


Customer Query: Simplifying a Backyard with Mulch

“Our backyard is full of overgrown brush and old shrubbery that we’d like to remove entirely. For now, we just want to replace it with mulch to create a clean, low-maintenance space. Availability is flexible as I work from home.”


Our Recommendations for Ballard Homeowners

1. Clearing Overgrowth

Removing brush and old shrubbery is the first step to a refreshed backyard. Our team uses specialized tools to:

  • Safely clear dense vegetation.
  • Prepare the area for a smooth mulch installation.
  • Ensure proper disposal of debris in an eco-friendly manner.

2. Mulch Installation

Mulch is an excellent choice for Ballard’s climate. It suppresses weeds, retains soil moisture, and adds a polished look to your yard. We recommend:

  • Cedar Mulch: Naturally resistant to pests and long-lasting.
  • Organic Mulch: Ideal for enriching the soil if you plan to add plants later.
  • Pro Tip: Ask about incorporating edging for a clean, defined look that keeps mulch in place.

3. Future Planning

Even a simple mulch installation can lay the groundwork for future projects. If you decide to add garden beds, pathways, or seating areas, our team can provide tailored design consultations.
