White Center Yard Clean Up
Homeowner’s Issue
Seattle’s West Side gets a lot of rain, and White Center yards show it: compacted, acidic soils, mossy lawns, and clumpy drainage where slopes direct water toward driveways or planting beds. Many homes sit on small slopes or terraces, so fallen branches, winter debris, and ivy can create slick, unsafe paths and invite weeds. Curb appeal here often suffers from overgrown beds, patchy grass and poorly placed mulch that washes out in storm seasons.
HOAs and neighborhood rules in White Center, nearby West Seattle, and Burien commonly expect tidy fronts and functioning drainage, so regular clean ups keep your property compliant and market-ready. Typical local challenges include clay pockets that hold water, dandelion and chickweed in thin lawns, and persistent moss in shady spots under maples or cedars. Addressing these early makes yards drier, easier to maintain, and more attractive around Westcrest Park, local sidewalks, and sloped driveways.
Our Quality Service
We clean, sort, and restore yards using sustainable methods only — no herbicides. Our team hand-removes debris, prunes problem growth, clears clogged drainage routes, and reshapes beds so rain runs away from foundations. On sloped lots we add erosion-control mulching and fabric options that stabilize soil while keeping plant health in mind.
Benefits: improved safety on paths and driveways, better curb appeal for neighbors and HOAs, lower long-term maintenance, and lasting drainage improvements that handle Seattle’s heavy winter rains.
What’s Included
- Full debris pickup: branches, leaves, and seasonal litter.
- Bed cleanup: hand-weeding, edge definition, and light pruning.
- Moss and invasive ivy cleanup in shaded areas.
- Clearing and testing of basic drainage lines and downspout outlets.
- Raking and light grading to prevent water pooling.
- Green waste haul-away or separation for city green bin disposal.
Options / Upgrades:
- Mulch + landscape fabric (erosion control and moisture retention).
- Organic, non-chemical weed control and soil-safe moss treatments.
- Gravel or rock installation for persistent drainage paths.
- Full haul-away versus green bin sorting for compostable material.
Before & After / Expectations
Expect some noise from brushes, rakes, and chipper work on larger debris; sessions are typical daytime work. We’ll need clear access to driveways or a bin area for haul-away and may request cars moved for safety. After work your yard will have visible piles removed, tidied beds, repaired low spots, and cleared gutters/downspouts where accessible.
Care tips:
- Water new plantings lightly in dry spells to help roots establish.
- Pull young weeds early; they’re easier after a cleanup.
- Rake moss out of thin turf, aerate compacted patches, and overseed in spring.
- Keep ivy and woody vines off fences and gutters to prevent regrowth.
