Landscaping Seattle WA | Call Apsolute Landscaping

In our Seattle climate, dying shrubs are often caused by issues beyond watering. Common culprits we see are poor drainage leading to root rot, incorrect plant selection for the specific sun/shade conditions of your yard, or compacted, nutrient-poor soil. Our service involves a site assessment to diagnose the exact cause—whether it's the soil, drainage, or the plant itself—and provides a solution, which may include soil amendment, strategic replanting with hardy local varieties, or correcting the underlying grading issue.

Poor lawn grading, where the soil slopes toward your foundation, is a major concern in Seattle. It directs rainwater and moisture against your home's structure, which can lead to a damp basement, foundation cracks, and mold growth. Our landscaping service fixes this by expertly regrading your yard. We reshape the soil to create a gentle slope away from your house, ensuring surface water drains properly into the yard or a designated drainage system, protecting your home's foundation from costly water damage.

These issues are often connected. We tackle them with an integrated approach. First, we correct the fundamental grading to establish proper drainage patterns. Then, we prepare the revitalized soil beds, often amending them for better health and drainage. Finally, we replant with shrubs and greenery suited to the new, improved conditions of your Seattle yard. This comprehensive method doesn't just apply a quick fix; it creates a sustainable landscape where your plants and lawn can thrive long-term because the underlying environment has been corrected.
