Becker Landscape Mngmnt Inc.

Becker is a small outfit, with a crew in the four-to-six range according to the state's most recent workers'-comp filing. Work comes mostly through referrals and repeat customers rather than advertising, which tends to mean dealing directly with the people doing the job instead of a sales office. The state lists Christopher Becker and Suzanne Becker as principals since 2024, when the current registration was issued under the same company name that has held a Washington contractor registration since 2003. That mix suits ongoing maintenance on established properties around Spokane and Spokane Valley, along with the kind of landscape construction a long-running local crew handles regularly: beds, plantings, grading for a yard and hardscape. It's a residential and light commercial business. Large development sites and municipal contracts are a different kind of operation, and nothing in the state record points to public works. Most routine landscaping in Spokane-area jurisdictions needs no permit at all. Mowing, planting, mulching and sod don't. Permits come into play with retaining walls above a certain height, grading that changes drainage or moves a lot of soil, new irrigation tied into a water supply that needs backflow protection, and any work in the public right-of-way, such as a parking strip or a curb cut. Spokane, Spokane Valley and Spokane County each set their own thresholds, so ask early. When a permit is needed, expect the contractor to pull it. The permit holder answers to the inspector, and a wall or drainage change done without one can come back up when the house sells.
