Where we work
Service areas across Greater Seattle
Quick answer
Blue Landscaping Services works out of Kent, WA and covers 21 communities across South King County, the Eastside and Seattle. South King County is our home turf — most of those jobs are inside a 25-minute drive, which is why we can get out for a walkthrough quickly.
South King County
Kent
about 10 minutes from our Kent shop
Blue Landscaping Services works out of a shop on Kent's East Hill, roughly ten minutes from most addresses in the city. We build retaining walls, paver patios, drainage and irrigation for both halves of Kent: glacial till and hardpan up on the hills, slow-draining alluvial soil down on the Green River valley floor..
Auburn
about 20 minutes from our Kent shop
Auburn splits between a wet river valley and two steep plateaus, and each needs a different build. On the flats we design around a shallow winter water table and soft alluvial ground.
Renton
about 15 minutes from our Kent shop
Renton has more real grade than anywhere else in South King County, so most projects here start with a wall or a set of steps rather than a patio. We work the Highlands, Kennydale, Talbot Hill, Benson Hill and Maplewood, roughly fifteen minutes from our Kent shop.
Covington
about 12 minutes from our Kent shop
Covington sits on a glacial till plateau around 400 feet, so hardpan and standing winter water drive nearly every project here. We build drainage-first paver patios, retaining walls, fences and sprinkler systems, about twelve minutes out Kent-Kangley Road from our Kent shop.
Maple Valley
About 25 minutes east on Kent-Kangley Road, closer to 35 when the afternoon backup builds at Four Corners. from our Kent shop
Blue Landscaping Services builds retaining walls, paver patios and irrigation across Maple Valley, about 25 minutes east of our Kent shop. Foothill lots here take 55 to 65 inches of rain a year over glacial till hardpan, so every wall and patio we set starts with drainage and a compacted base..
Federal Way
About 20 minutes southwest via South 272nd Street or SR 18, closer to 30 when I-5 backs up in the afternoon. from our Kent shop
Blue Landscaping Services works throughout Federal Way, roughly 20 minutes southwest of our Kent shop. Most of the city is 1960s to 1980s housing on Alderwood till, with closed-basin kettle lakes that hold water and Puget Sound bluffs along the west edge.
Des Moines
About 15 minutes west on Kent-Des Moines Road (SR 516), 20 to 25 in rush hour. from our Kent shop
Blue Landscaping Services covers Des Moines, about 15 minutes west of our Kent shop. The city sits on a Puget Sound bluff, so grade, view lines and mapped landslide hazard areas shape most projects here.
Tukwila
About 15 minutes north up West Valley Highway or SR 167, 25 or more when the Southcenter interchange is backed up. from our Kent shop
Blue Landscaping Services covers Tukwila, about fifteen minutes north of our Kent shop. Half the city sits on Duwamish valley alluvium with a high winter water table, and half climbs the hillside above it, so base depth and drainage decide the price here.
Burien
About 25 minutes west via Kent-Des Moines Road and SR 509, or north on I-5 to SR 518; add ten in afternoon traffic. from our Kent shop
We serve all of Burien, about twenty-five minutes from the Kent shop. Work here splits between flat till uplands around Gregory Heights and Boulevard Park and the Sound bluff at Seahurst and Three Tree Point, where slope, hillside seeps, one-lane roads and Burien tree rules shape what can be built..
SeaTac
About 15 to 20 minutes northwest via Kent-Des Moines Road and Pacific Highway South, longer when International Boulevard backs up near the terminal. from our Kent shop
Blue Landscaping Services works every part of SeaTac, fifteen to twenty minutes from our Kent shop. Yards here sit on a flat glacial till plateau with hardpan close to the surface, and proximity to the airfield affects tree height, planting choices and noise expectations.
Eastside
Bellevue
about 25 minutes from our Kent shop
Bellevue is a set of glacial ridges with soft peat basins between them, so a Somerset slope job and a Lake Hills flat job need completely different base sections. We build walls, patios, steps and irrigation across the city, roughly twenty-five minutes up I-405 from our Kent shop.
Kirkland
about 35 minutes from our Kent shop
Kirkland runs from an 1888 mill-town street grid at the waterfront up a steep slope to the Rose Hill and Finn Hill plateaus. Narrow old lots, teardown rebuilds and a strict tree code shape most projects here.
Redmond
about 40 minutes from our Kent shop
Redmond splits between till uplands like Education Hill and the peat-bottomed Sammamish River valley, and the city draws its drinking water from wells underneath it. Aquifer protection, Bear Creek buffers and tree retention drive permitting here.
Issaquah
about 30 minutes from our Kent shop
Issaquah sits in a creek valley boxed in by Cougar, Squak and Tiger mountains, so almost every lot is either floodplain flat or serious slope. Rainfall here runs well above Seattle numbers.
Mercer Island
about 25 minutes from our Kent shop
Mercer Island is a till-cored island with a landslide-prone rim, one ZIP code, narrow lanes and steep private drives. The city regulates trees and total hardscape closely, so plans get sized to the rules before they get pretty.
Sammamish
about 40 minutes from our Kent shop
Sammamish is a wet till plateau standing above two valleys, dotted with wetlands and kokanee streams and shaded by second-growth fir. Hardpan, deer browse and a strict clearing and tree code shape every plan here.
Newcastle
about 20 minutes from our Kent shop
Newcastle is built on the west flank of Cougar Mountain over a century of abandoned coal workings, so slope, seeps and mapped coal mine hazard areas shape nearly every project. We build engineered walls, steps, patios and irrigation here, about twenty minutes up I-405 from our Kent shop..
Seattle
West Seattle
about 30 minutes from our Kent shop
West Seattle is a glacial peninsula with a plateau in the middle and slide-prone bluffs on both edges. Most lots sit on Alderwood soil over till hardpan, so drainage drives every design.
Magnolia
about 40 minutes from our Kent shop
Magnolia sits on a bluff of Esperance sand over Lawton Clay, which is why the west and south slopes are mapped landslide-prone and why drainage and engineering come before layout. We build view-conscious walls, terraces, steps, patios and irrigation here, about forty minutes from the Kent shop..
Capitol Hill
about 35 minutes from our Kent shop
Capitol Hill is small lots, steep grade, alley-only access and a century of urban fill over glacial till. Most work here moves by wheelbarrow, so access shapes the price more than materials do.
Ballard
about 40 minutes from our Kent shop
Ballard splits in two: till uplands at Loyal Heights and Sunset Hill, and filled former tideland near Salmon Bay that Seattle maps as liquefaction-prone. The alley grid usually lets a machine reach the back yard.
