Excavation Services by Lee’s General Landscaping

Big machines. Clean work. Strong foundations.

Hey, it’s Mr. Lee. When you need to dig—really dig—you don’t want just anyone with a rented backhoe and a YouTube video. Whether you’re prepping for a new patio, fixing a drainage problem, or replacing an old water line, you want the job done right.

We handle excavation projects all over the Seattle area—small to mid-sized work done safely, cleanly, and with care. We’re not just moving dirt—we’re setting you up for long-term success.


When Do You Need Excavation?

If you’re doing any of these, there’s a good chance we need to bring in the machines:

  • Building a retaining wall, patio, or outdoor steps
  • Trenching for drainage or irrigation systems
  • Fixing standing water problems or soil grading issues
  • Digging out compacted or poor-quality builder soil
  • Laying the foundation for a shed, garage, or home addition
  • Re-leveling your yard for better use and water flow

Don’t sweat it—we’ll take care of the hard part.


Our Excavation Services

We do more than just dig holes. Here’s what we offer:

Landscape Construction Prep

Before the pretty stuff goes in, we handle the groundwork. That means clean cuts, correct depths, and level surfaces for patios, steps, walls, and more.

Drainage & Trenching

Every good drainage system starts with the right trench. Whether it’s for a French drain or downspout reroute, we make sure water flows the way it should.

Yard Grading & Soil Correction

If your yard is uneven, holds water, or has dead zones where nothing grows, it probably needs better grading and soil. We regrade and replace soil so your landscaping can thrive.

Foundation & Utility Prep

Need a trench for a new utility line or prepping for a concrete pad? We dig to code, work clean, and make sure it’s ready for inspection—or installation.


Why Choose Lee’s for Excavation Work?

  • We Know Seattle Dirt: Clay, rocks, roots, and builder leftovers—we’ve dealt with it all.
  • Minimal Disruption: We don’t tear up more than we have to. Clean cuts, smart access, and tidy sites.
  • We Work Fast & Respectfully: We show up on time, communicate clearly, and leave your site clean.

Let’s Dig In—Book Your Excavation Today

Excavation might not be glamorous, but it’s critical. A good dig job makes everything else go smoother—drainage, irrigation, landscaping, even construction. We’ll help you do it once, and do it right.
