Soil Replacement and Removal Service in Seattle: Refresh Your Landscape from the Ground Up

You can have the best plants, the nicest lawn, and the fanciest mulch—but if your soil isn’t healthy, your landscape will always struggle. At Lee’s General Landscaping, our soil replacement and removal service helps Seattle homeowners fix poor soil conditions by removing contaminated, compacted, or depleted dirt and replacing it with clean, nutrient-rich topsoil.

Whether you’re starting a new garden, dealing with waterlogged areas, or fixing years of poor drainage, we’re here to help rebuild your landscape—one shovel at a time.

Identifying the Problem in Seattle

Seattle’s damp climate, clay-heavy soil, and ongoing construction boom mean many yards are sitting on poor-quality dirt. Some of the most common soil issues we see include:

• Compacted soil from heavy foot traffic or machinery
• Clay-rich soil that traps water and suffocates roots
• Contaminated soil from old chemicals, debris, or construction fill
• Lack of organic matter, leading to weak root growth and poor drainage
• Moss and weed overgrowth, which thrive in depleted or acidic soil

If your lawn is constantly soggy, your plants are struggling to thrive, or your garden beds just won’t produce—bad soil is likely the root of the problem.

Why Choose Lee’s General Landscaping?

Replacing soil isn’t just about dumping in new dirt. It takes experience, precision, and the right equipment to safely remove the bad stuff and install fresh, well-draining soil that supports long-term growth.

Here’s how we handle every job:

• On-Site Inspection – We start by checking soil texture, drainage, compaction levels, and root conditions. We also test for contamination or pH issues when needed.
• Scope Definition – You get a clear plan: how much soil will be removed, what kind of soil will be brought in, and how it supports your planting goals.
• Site Prep – We protect your lawn, hardscapes, and beds before we start moving earth. We also mark utilities, irrigation lines, and nearby root zones.
• Commercial-Grade Equipment – From shovels and wheelbarrows to mini-excavators and dump trailers—we bring the right tools to safely and efficiently remove and replace soil.
• Thorough Clean-Up – Once the soil is leveled and graded, we clean up all debris, rake smooth, and prep the site for planting or sod installation.
