B&H Landscaping | Certified Landscaping Services in Lake Stevens, WA

The first step is a professional site assessment. We'll evaluate your yard's slope, soil type, and identify where water is pooling. In Lake Stevens, this often points to underlying soil compaction or improper grading. Based on our findings, we'll recommend a targeted plan, which could include core aeration to improve absorption or regrading to direct water away from your home and foundations.

In most Lake Stevens yards, severely compacted soil can be effectively restored without full replacement. Our primary solution is core aeration, which removes small plugs of soil to alleviate compaction, allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach grass roots. This is often combined with overseeding and top-dressing to rebuild healthy soil structure, saving you the cost and disruption of a complete soil overhaul.

We use discreet, landscape-integrated solutions. For surface water, we often create subtle grading or shallow swales lined with river rock that blend into the garden. For subsurface issues, we install French drains—a gravel-filled trench with a perforated pipe—that are covered with soil and sod. The goal is to solve the drainage problem effectively while maintaining or even enhancing your yard's aesthetic appeal.
