Seasonal Considerations
Winter rain can flood low spots and wash out loose soil on Mercer Island. So we plan drains, gravel base, and grading early. Summer stays warm and dry, so it's a smart time for patios, planting, lighting, and walkway work.
Mercer Island Rules, Permits, And Site Planning That Save Time
Mercer Island homes often sit on slopes or near wet ground by Lake Washington. That means drainage, grading, and wall plans need careful review. We plan for runoff, soil hold, permits, and site access before work starts.
In North Mercer and East Mercer, many lots have tight street frontage. So delivery timing matters, and code review matters too. We help with permit steps for patios, walks, walls, lights, and driveways.
Mercer Island gets mild, wet winters and dry summer spells. That weather affects base prep, drain lines, plant choice, and erosion control. Near Luther Burbank Park and Island Crest Park, we often match a clean Northwest look with native plants and low-water beds.
- Check if your Mercer Island lot slope needs a permit review before wall work starts.
- Ask for a drainage plan if your home sits above a downhill neighbor in West Mercer.
- Plan driveway and stone delivery around bridge traffic to and from Seattle and Bellevue.
- Use plants that handle wet winters and dry summers near Mercer Island Park areas.

“Adam and his team transformed our front yard, and the results exceeded our expectations. What started as a space overdue for updating is now a bright, well‑designed landscape with vibrant flowers that looked great all summer. We also really appreciate the reduced lawn area, which has made upkeep much easier. The project was completed in just a few days and included the installation of a new underground sprinkler system. Adam’s crew was courteous, detail‑focused, and consistently left the work area clean and organized at the end of each day. We’re extremely pleased with the finished product and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Adam and his team.”
“Adam has done landscaping jobs on our property, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. We managed to turn our backyard into a mini park, and the expense was more than reasonable. We also changed our high maintenance front yard into a low maintenance clean look that doesn’t demand weekly attention. When you get to the time of picking plants, Adam will meet you at the nursery and he’ll give you excellent advice as to what plants are best suited for your layout and expected results. And your plants are guaranteed for one year, so if some don’t take, he’ll replace them with new ones. Both jobs added value and usability to our place, and now we’re able to enjoy our yard year round”
“I had a great experience with Adam Gorski Landscapes. I'm not big on writing reviews, but this company deserves one! From design to build, the process was flawless. Adam and his team exceeded expectations at every turn. We were honest about our budget, and there was no pressure to go over. That was big for us, and something we didn't find with other companies. Equally important was timing and professionalism. They showed up when they said they would, left the site organized and presentable every day, and finished on time and on budget. The work done was amazing, we get compliments on it over and over! I would recommend Adam and his team to friends and family. If you read this and engage with him, you won't be disappointed.”
