Seattle
Seven hills and then some. Grade changes of 20–40% inside a single lot are ordinary in Queen Anne, Magnolia, Mount Baker and West Seattle.
Base of operations — Capitol Hill
Where we work
Landscaping service areas
We work out of Capitol Hill and cover twenty-five areas across Seattle, the Eastside and the north corridor. Each one has its own page because the ground genuinely differs: glacial till under most of Seattle, outwash sand under Ballard, peat around Mercer Slough, a plateau that holds water in Sammamish, and Environmentally Critical Area designations across the West Seattle and Magnolia bluffs.
If your neighbourhood is not listed it is probably still covered — call (425) 533-9734 and ask.
The six we are busiest in.
Ranked on genuine local demand rather than on proximity — which is why an Eastside city thirty minutes away outranks a Seattle neighbourhood ten minutes away.
Bellevue
Rolling, with real elevation on Somerset, Cougar Mountain's western flank and Newport Hills, and low, flat, slow-draining ground through the Mercer Slough basin.
20–35 minutes from Capitol Hill via I-90
Kirkland
A consistent fall from the ridges down to Lake Washington. Waterfront and downtown lots are steep, Rose Hill and Finn Hill sit high, and the low ground at Juanita is flat and slow.
25–40 minutes from Capitol Hill via SR-520
Redmond
A flat valley floor along the Sammamish River, with substantial upland on three sides — Education Hill to the north, Union Hill and Novelty Hill east, and the Overlake rise to the south-west.
30–45 minutes from Capitol Hill via SR-520
Issaquah
The steepest of our Eastside markets. Issaquah sits in a valley ringed by the Issaquah Alps — Cougar, Squak and Tiger Mountain — so a large share of properties are built into real grade.
30–45 minutes from Capitol Hill via I-90
Mercer Island
A domed island — relatively level across the crown through Island Crest, then falling away to the shoreline on every side, steeply in places.
15–25 minutes from Capitol Hill via I-90
All twenty-five, grouped.
The district pages cover the neighbourhoods inside them, including the ones without a page of their own. Nine Seattle neighbourhoods have separate pages because their ground conditions differ enough from the district around them to matter.

Coverage
Questions about where we work.
How far do you travel for a project?
Twenty-five areas, running from Seattle across to Woodinville and Sammamish and north to Bothell. The boundary is a workable daily-crew radius rather than a marketing radius, which is why cities that look close on a map — Everett, Kent, anything the other side of a ferry — are not on the list. If your address is just outside one of the twenty-five, call and ask; the honest answer is sometimes yes and sometimes that you would be better served by someone closer.
Why does each area have its own page?
Because the ground genuinely differs, and the differences change what a project costs and how it has to be built. A bluff lot in Magnolia sits inside an Environmentally Critical Area where the usual retaining wall exemption does not apply; a flat lot in Wedgwood four miles away has no slope at all and a drainage problem instead. Sammamish holds water because it is a plateau, Ballard drains because it sits on outwash sand, and Bothell straddles a county line. Those are not marketing distinctions.
Do you charge more for Eastside or north-end work?
Travel time is real and it is in the estimate rather than hidden in it. What frequently offsets it is that Eastside and north-end lots have much better access than their Seattle equivalents — a driveway a machine can work from and space to stage material near the work can take a day off a project that would need everything barrowed through a three-foot gate on Capitol Hill. Either way you get one fixed written price before anything starts, and it does not move.
Which areas have detailed pages for individual services?
Twelve of the twenty-five carry service-specific local pages, chosen on genuine local demand: Seattle, Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Issaquah, Sammamish, Bothell, Shoreline, Woodinville, West Seattle, Mercer Island and Ballard. Those cover the eight services with meaningful local search — walls, patios, drainage, turf, driveways, design, irrigation and cleanup. Every other area has a full page of its own; it simply does not have a separate page per service, because we would rather write twelve pages properly than a hundred thinly.
Find your area, or just call and ask.
We will tell you honestly whether your address is inside the radius we can serve properly — and if it is not, we would rather say so than take the job.
