Issaquah, WA 98027 - Landscaping & Brush Clearing & Gravel install
Summary
This northwestern Washington property had a few decent ingredients already, but needed lots of care all around to bring everything together. We added a beauty bark hill, installed new grass wrapped around the home, and made many general aesthetic improvements all over, giving the owners a great environment to keep up over the coming years.
The Challenges
This home is in a lovely location with lots of foliage around, but it needed a lot of attention to keep up with the natural beauty of its surroundings. This area gets plenty of rain, but despite that, we were faced with very hard, rocky land with little to no grass. And the bedding had a decent foundation but was well overgrown.
What We Made
We modified and filled a hill with beauty bark in the side/backyard, installed grass around the house, and did lots of general aesthetic touch ups such as rock clearing, pea gravel installation, and hedge pruning to give the owners a beautifully clean slate to maintain.
Equipment used:
Pickaxe
Rakes and buckets
Weedeater
Hedgebar
Ford Diesel 350
2 ton dump trailer
Kubota tractor
Peat moss spreader
Lawn roller
Wheelbarrow
