Public-record contractor profile
Legal record: GROUNDWORKS
Why this profile appears
Groundworks is included because 4 selected Seattle construction permits explicitly describe retaining-wall, rockery, slope, drainage, foundation, or closely related site work. The records span Jul 3, 2024 through Dec 1, 2025 and place the documented work in Greenwood, Fairmount Park, West Queen Anne and Fremont.
The most recent selected record is permit 7080716-CN, issued Dec 1, 2025 in Greenwood. Its public scope says: “Construct retaining wall repair adjacent to existing single-family residence per plans.”
Across the current exact SDCI dataset responses and manually checked Seattle Services Portal records, 2 of 4 selected records have a matching legal name, listed L&I principal, or Portal contractor license. 2 records do not currently publish a contractor identity. The status for every project is shown below.
Permit scope, dates, status, and cost come from the exact official rows. A permit without a reproducible contractor-name match should be treated as a research lead, not proof that GROUNDWORKS performed that work. The profile also does not establish current availability, design responsibility, workmanship, customer satisfaction, or suitability for another property.
