About Aden

Building Seattle yards since 2010

Aden Landscaping has been designing and building landscapes out of Capitol Hill for16 years. In that time the city has taught us the same lesson it teaches everyone who builds here: the finish is the easy part. What decides whether a patio is still flat in five years is what went underneath it, and what decides whether a wall is still standing is whether anyone thought about where the water goes.

Seattle sits on glacial till — a compacted hardpan that holds water rather than letting it through — under 38 inches of annual rain that arrives almost entirely between October and March. Build without accounting for that and the yard tells you within one winter. Most of what we do differently comes down to taking that seriously at the quoting stage rather than the repair stage.

Our own equipment, our own truck, our own crew. Clearing and haul-away on a Seattle property before any of the visible work starts.

How we work

Four things we will not compromise on.

  1. 01

    The buried work is the work

    Base depth, compaction in lifts, drainage behind a wall, geotextile that stops rock silting up. None of it is visible when the job is finished, all of it decides whether the job is still good in ten years, and it is the first thing a cheap quote removes.

  2. 02

    Say when the cheaper answer is right

    A regrade instead of a French drain. A downspout tie-in instead of a whole system. Overseeding instead of turf. We lose work by saying this and we would rather lose it than sell somebody a system that does not address their problem.

  3. 03

    Check the rules before quoting, not after

    Whether the parcel is in an Environmentally Critical Area, what the wall height threshold is, whether an HOA has architectural review. All of it is cheap to establish at the start and expensive to discover mid-build.

  4. 04

    Price the access honestly

    A patio that takes two days on an Eastside lot with a driveway takes four on a Capitol Hill lot where every barrow goes through a three-foot gate. We walk the route before quoting, which sometimes makes our number look higher than a quote from someone who has not thought about it yet.

Our terms

The risk sits with us, not with you.

  • No down payment

    No deposit is required to start. Payment comes after the work is finished — not before.

  • Fixed price, agreed up front

    A fixed, accurate price is guaranteed before the job starts. We do not quote low and raise it mid-project.

  • 0% interest for up to 6 months

    A 0% interest payment plan is available for up to 6 months.

  • Warranty on hardscaping

    Hardscaping work carries a warranty. Vegetation is excluded.

In their words

What customers actually said

Real Google reviews, unedited and unabridged except where a long one is trimmed at a sentence boundary. We publish no aggregate rating, because the true cross-platform average is not something we can substantiate.

Alex and his crew do AMAZING work. I had a really great experience and can't recommend them enough. First, Alex was prompt and courteous when responding to any questions both before and during the work. When we met to estimate the project I had a variety of things (general yard cleanup, re-leveling existing flagstones, putting in new flagstones, installing steps, some tree removal, and re-dsigning the path down the side of the house). He was very accommodating, paid attention to ALL the details, and made several recommendations (I was unsure of some of them, but i went with them and it was DEFINITELY the right choice). Second, when they were doing the work, the guys were completely professional. They showed up when they said they would and finished on schedule (all of the work above was completed in ONE week). They were even careful of existing plants and sprinkler hoses within the ground. Last, the work itself came out beautifully. Alex's crew are efficient and have great attention to detail. The yard was a complete mess before (with invasive plants) and its been totally transformed, see the pics. I couldn't be happier with the end result. You gotta call these guys.

We hired Aden Landscaping as part of our larger front yard remodel, and they redesigned our sprinkler system and added a drip irrigation system. It made a huge difference. They reworked the layout so the coverage is much more efficient and targeted to the actual needs of the plants and lawn. The new drip system is fantastic — it delivers water directly to the roots, which means less waste, healthier plants, and much easier maintenance. It also gives us a lot more confidence that everything is being watered properly without overdoing it. Their team was professional, knowledgeable, and thoughtful about how the irrigation system fits into the overall landscape design. You can tell they really understand both the technical side and the long-term health of the yard. Very happy with the results and excited to see the whole project come together. Would definitely recommend them.

Alex is one of the best contractors I've worked with! He's very creative and really sweats the details, which shows in the final product. Our backyard turned out very functional and beautiful! Our house is built on a steep hill so it was hard for us to see how we would utilize the backyard space because we had two retaining walls that minimized the main area. Alex proposed a great solution that maximized the main area and we couldn't be happier.

Aden Landscaping did an incredible job transforming the side yard at my townhome! I needed some detailed weeding, shrubs trimmed, and for some bark to be laid down. The results exceeded my expectations, and I was so impressed with their reasonable pricing, prompt availability, and seamless communication throughout the project. I especially appreciated how they were gentle with my existing in-ground plants and no damage was done to them. They made the entire process easy. Highly recommend their services to anyone looking for quality landscaping work! Thank you Eric!

I normally don’t write reviews. However, after I had my front and backyards landscaped by Aden, several of neighbors came by and complemented the work and style of the project, they wanted to know who did it. As for me, I like the design aspect of it, nicely done. I think Aden landscaping can deliver the quality standard that meets your expectation.

We could not be happier with the patio cover, retaining wall and new turf that Aden landscaping put up for us Alex and his entire team were incredible, and we are very impressed and thankful. They were polite, professional and even worked through lunch to get everything done ASAP. Everyone was also early to every appointment, which is rare these days. They went above and beyond expectations and took care of everything we asked for. We're all very impressed by aden landscaping and they have certainly made a customer for life! Their pricing was very reasonable and they were well worth the money.

We recently hired Alex and team to install artificial turf and a paver patio in a new house we moved into. We're very happy with the quality of the work and outcome. We evaluated Aden along with two other providers in getting a bid. Although they were not the most competitively priced initially, Alex was very willing to negotiate and meet our budget based on the competing bids we received.

I worked with Alex. Upfront, honest and very transparent about the work we requested. As an overview, this is what we requested and had done. - Removal of several trees and brush from back and front yards - Installation of 400 sq ft paver patio w/ high gloss sealant - Installation of 280 sq ft playground area with wood chips - Removal and replacement of all grass Alex and his team were prompt, on time and respectful of the surrounding properties. He kept us informed and let us know what to expect at every turn. The quality of work was superb, and cost was very fair compared to other competitive bids. I will be referring him to all friends and family for their landscaping needs!

About the company

The questions people ask about us.

Who actually turns up to do the work?

Our own crews, using our own equipment. The company runs 15+ specialists, each with 10+ years of experience, retrained and recertified at least once a year — and a project manager is on your site every day the crew is. We do not subcontract the build out to whoever is available that week, which is why we take one project at a time rather than starting four and rotating between them.

Why do you not take a deposit?

Because the deposit is where most bad contractor stories start, and removing it moves the risk off the customer and onto us. You pay when the project is complete. It works for us because we plan properly, price accurately and finish what we start — and it filters out the kind of job where expectations were never really agreed. A 0% interest payment plan is available for up to six months if spreading the cost helps.

How can the price be fixed before the work starts?

By doing the assessment properly rather than quickly. Most mid-project price increases come from something that was visible on the first visit and nobody looked at — the access route, the real depth of the excavation, where water actually goes. We walk the site, check the grade and the drainage, look up the parcel where a permit question is likely, and price what is actually there. The written estimate is itemised so you can see what is included, and it does not move once agreed.

What is not covered by the warranty?

Vegetation. Hardscaping work carries a warranty; plants do not, because whether a plant lives depends on watering and conditions after we leave, which is outside anyone's control but yours. We will tell you what each planting needs to survive its first two summers and specify things that suit the position rather than things that look good in June. Ask for the current warranty terms in writing with your estimate.

Do you work outside the areas listed on the site?

Sometimes, and we would rather be asked than assumed. The 25 areas on the site are a workable daily-crew radius from Capitol Hill, which is why places that look close on a map — anything the far side of a ferry, or up past Everett — are not on the list. If your address sits just outside one of them, call and ask. The honest answer is sometimes yes, and sometimes that you would be better served by someone based closer to you.
