Burien Brush Cutting on Steep Slopes
Homeowner’s Issue
Steep yards around Burien often face compacted glacial soils, heavy winter rains, and shifting grades that encourage dense brush, ivy, and moss. South- and west-facing slopes can dry out in summer while north-facing banks stay shaded and hold moisture, so plants behave very differently across one lot. Poor drainage and unchecked brush increase erosion, hide hazards, and invite rodents or pests. Landlords and homeowners want durable results that reduce ongoing work, keep tenants safe, and protect property lines. Many also prefer sustainable methods that stabilize soil and support native plants rather than repeated chemical treatments. Whether your slope borders Seahurst Park views or edges toward White Center streets, the right approach prevents slide risks, improves access, and makes small yards easier to maintain.
Our Quality Service
We clear overgrown brush by hand and with low-impact tools, then shape the slope for better drainage and stability. We prioritize mulch, native groundcovers, and simple erosion controls to hold soil without herbicides. The benefits are safer access, improved curb appeal, and lower long-term maintenance needs.
What’s Included
- Site assessment and slope safety check.
- Hand-cutting and low-impact brush removal.
- Pruning of shrubs and selective trimming of small trees.
- Mulch application and optional landscape fabric.
- Debris haul-away or green-bin disposal (your choice).
- Optional upgrades: organic weed control, native replanting, gravel for paths.
Before & After / Expectations
After clearing, slopes look tidier immediately, but expect some regrowth from roots and ivy for 6–12 months. Light follow-up visits keep regrowth controlled and let planted groundcovers establish. Care tips:
- Water new plantings lightly in dry spells.
- Pull small weeds early; mulch suppresses most regrowth.
- Monitor drainage after heavy rains and clear drains promptly.
FAQs
- How long does a job take? Small slopes usually take a half day; larger or very dense sites may take a day or more.
- Will you use herbicides? No — we use mechanical removal, hand-pulling, mulching, and organic options only.
- Do you handle steep/unsafe slopes? Yes, we assess slope safety and use low-impact methods; very steep or unstable banks may require further engineering.
- Can landlords schedule recurring visits? Yes — quarterly, bi-monthly, or monthly plans are available.
