Hecker LLC.

The company advertises two kinds of work. On the lawn side it lists mowing, trimming and edging, shrub trimming, weed control, aeration and seasonal treatments, along with custom maintenance plans for homeowners who want regular visits. On the land side it lists gravel road repair, field and brush cutting, land clearing and overgrowth clean-up. The state lists Robert Hecker and Susan Hecker as principals since 2023, the year the business was formed. The crew is small, one to three people, with the owner working on the jobs. That mix fits a house in Liberty Lake or Spokane Valley that needs steady lawn care, or a rural parcel near Newman Lake with a long gravel drive that washes out each spring and brush that's crept in along the fence line. It's yard and property maintenance, not building work. Framing, electrical, structural changes or a remodel belong with a contractor in those trades. Most of this work doesn't need a permit. Mowing, trimming, aeration and routine cleanups never do. Land clearing and grading can be a different story. Spokane County and the cities of Spokane Valley and Liberty Lake may require a grading or clearing permit when a job moves enough soil, touches a steep slope, sits near a shoreline like Newman Lake's, or changes how water drains off a property. Any new structure such as a retaining wall over a certain height also brings in the building department. When a job crosses into that territory, expect the contractor doing the work to know the rule and pull the permit, since they're the one shaping the ground.
