Company Overview
For over two decades, Yardwork, Etc has been a trusted local resource for Mukilteo homeowners. Founded by David B. Grimes, a horticulturist with two degrees and 25+ years of experience, we bring a deep, practical understanding of our unique Northwest environment to every job. Our small, experienced team handles everything from routine garden care and seasonal maintenance to complex hardscape installations like patios and retaining walls. We're licensed, bonded, and insured, and we operate on a straightforward, contract-light basis, preferring to build lasting relationships with our clients. As fellow gardeners, we assess your property holistically—from soil health to plant selection—to create outdoor spaces that are both beautiful and resilient.
Q&A
Can you help with common Mukilteo lawn issues like poor grading and bare patches?
Absolutely. We frequently address these specific issues for local homes. Poor grading can lead to drainage problems and soil erosion, which we correct by reshaping the land and improving soil structure. For bare patches, we diagnose the underlying cause—whether it's soil compaction, pests, or disease—and implement solutions like aeration, overseeding with appropriate grass types, and targeted soil amendments. Our approach is tailored to Mukilteo's climate and common soil conditions.
What does your landscape construction service include?
Our landscape construction covers a wide range of outdoor improvements. We specialize in designing and installing hardscapes like patios, walkways, and retaining walls, as well as exterior structures. We also handle full landscape installations, from initial design to planting. For each project, we manage all facets, including planning, material selection, and skilled construction, ensuring a cohesive and durable result for your property.
How does your monthly maintenance billing work?
We believe in simple, transparent service. We bill monthly for ongoing maintenance, with the amount reflecting the seasonal workload. You'll typically see a lower bill during the winter months when plant growth is dormant and tasks are fewer. We rarely require long-term contracts, preferring a flexible arrangement that adapts to your property's needs and the natural growing cycle throughout the year.
