Seattle Excavation & Earth Moving

Prepare your Seattle property for success with Lee’s General Landscaping’s excavation and earth‑moving services. From site digging and grading to trenching and hauling—clean, precise, and on time.

Excavating & Earth Moving in Seattle – From Mr. Lee at Lee’s General Landscaping

Hey there, it’s Mr. Lee! Whether you’re building something big, planting something new, or just trying to fix up a stubborn slope in your yard, it all starts with one thing — moving dirt. And that’s what we do best.

At Lee’s General Landscaping, we offer reliable, clean, and professional excavation and earth-moving services all across Seattle. Doesn’t matter if you’ve got a tight backyard or a wide-open lot — we’ve got the machines, the crew, and the experience to shape the land exactly how you need it.


What We Do – Dirt Work, Done Right

Here’s what our crew can handle for you:


Site Excavation

Digging for a new foundation, retaining wall, pool, or drainage system? We’ve got you. We’ll dig it clean, to code, and ready for whatever comes next.


Grading & Leveling

We’ll smooth out rough or uneven land, build slopes the right way, and set the groundwork for patios, lawns, gardens, or driveways. Water flows where it’s supposed to — not into your basement.


Trenching for Utilities

Need lines run for water, irrigation, or power? We dig trenches for utilities, pipes, and wires — fast, neat, and with precision.


Backfilling & Compaction

Once the digging’s done, we put things back in place the right way — compacted, stable, and ready for planting, paving, or building.


Hauling & Disposal

Got a pile of dirt or debris that needs to go? We’ll haul it out and dispose of it the right way — no mess left behind.


Rock & Soil Removal

Big ol’ boulders in your way? Nasty clay or sandy soil where it shouldn’t be? We’ll dig it out and get your site back on track.

  • Create usable space – Level out slopes, expand garden beds, or prep for patios
  • Improve drainage – Grade your yard so water goes where it should
  • Protect your investment – Lay solid groundwork for foundations, walkways, or retaining walls
  • Boost property value – A properly shaped landscape just looks better — and works better
