Public-record contractor profile
Legal record: TRUE SCAPES LLC
Why this profile appears
True Scapes LLC is included because 5 selected Seattle construction permits explicitly describe retaining-wall, rockery, slope, drainage, foundation, or closely related site work. The records span Apr 28, 2021 through Mar 26, 2026 and place the documented work in Rainier Beach, East Queen Anne, Columbia City and Leschi.
The most recent selected record is permit 7108703-CN, issued Jan 13, 2026 in Rainier Beach. Its public scope says: “Construct alterations to install geo grid slope stabilization measures and fence accessory to existing residence per plan.”
Across the current exact SDCI dataset responses and manually checked Seattle Services Portal records, 3 of 5 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 identity—through the published name or a separately checked Portal license—should be treated as a research lead, not proof that TRUE SCAPES LLC performed that work. The profile also does not establish current availability, design responsibility, workmanship, customer satisfaction, or suitability for another property.
Quick read
