H & S General Contracting - Seattle's Professional Landscaping Services

We see this often in Seattle due to our climate and soil conditions. Our approach starts with diagnosing the specific issues—whether it's disease, pests, or poor drainage from compaction. We provide shrub care, including disease and insect management, pruning, and, if needed, removal and replanting with species better suited to the site. For compacted soil, we can perform aeration and amend the soil during our landscape installation services. Often, integrating proper irrigation design and installing features like French drains or retaining walls can solve underlying water issues, creating a healthier foundation for your entire landscape.

Absolutely. As a full-service general contractor, we uniquely manage projects that blend indoor and outdoor living. A common Seattle project might involve building a new deck or patio (construction/installation), addressing surrounding drainage and landscaping issues, and simultaneously remodeling the adjacent kitchen or bathroom for seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Our design services ensure all elements work together cohesively. This integrated approach saves you time and coordination headaches, as one trusted team handles everything from permits and tree care to the final construction details, ensuring quality and consistency across the entire project.

Yes, these are complementary services we frequently perform together in the Seattle area. We would start with safe, professional tree removal and stump grinding, clearing the area for the new construction. Our team would then assess the site for the new retaining wall, designing it to properly manage soil erosion and water runoff—common causes of wall failure. By handling the tree work and the hardscape construction, we ensure the new wall is built on a stable, prepared site. We can also incorporate new shrub planting or greenscape design above the wall to stabilize the slope and create a beautiful, long-lasting solution.
