Grizzly Landscape & Construction handles residential excavation, grading, trenching, and site prep for homeowners in Kirkland, Bothell, and Kenmore. Whether the dirt work is the whole job or the first phase of a bigger project, you get a written fixed price after a free walkthrough and a crew that treats your property like it has to look good when we leave — because it does.
Most landscape problems start below the surface. A yard that pools water, a patio site that isn't level, a slope that sheds mud onto the walkway — all of them are grading problems before they're anything else. We move, shape, and compact earth so what gets built on top of it works.
In Western Washington, drainage is the difference between a yard you use and a yard you avoid from October to May. We grade so water runs away from foundations and hardscapes instead of toward them — which is also why excavation is the first step of nearly every paver patio we build.
Eastside lots are tight — fences, gates, mature trees, and neighbors close on both sides. We run compact equipment that fits through residential access without tearing up everything on the way in, and we put lawn and beds back together when the dirt work is done.
It depends on how much material moves, site access, and whether spoils get hauled away. Small grading and trenching jobs cost far less than full-yard regrades. Every job gets a written fixed price after a free walkthrough — no hourly surprises.
We handle it. Washington law requires calling 811 for utility locates before digging, and we schedule those locates as part of every excavation job so gas, power, and water lines are marked before a bucket touches soil.
Usually, yes. We run compact excavators and loaders sized for residential gates and side yards. During the walkthrough we measure access and plan the route so fences and beds survive the job.
Trenching and small grading jobs often finish in a day. Larger regrades and site prep for patios typically run two to four days depending on volume and haul-away.
