Burien Roadside brush clearing
Homeowner’s Issue
Rain, shade, and compacted soils make Burien yards quick to overgrow with brush, ivy, moss, and blackberry tangles. Steep spots near Seahurst Park or properties along Highline can funnel water, causing drainage problems and slippery sidewalks that create safety concerns for tenants and visitors. Homeowners and landlords usually want clean sightlines, safer walkways, and low-maintenance borders without constant weekly chores. That means removing choking brush, improving drainage where we can, and choosing plant or mulch finishes that slow regrowth and stand up to our wet winters. Our work focuses on sustainable, hands-on methods — hand-pulling, pruning, mulching, and hauling or composting debris — so you get lasting results that reduce future upkeep and keep the natural slopes stable.
Our Quality Service
We assess slope, soil compaction, and shade before any work. Crews hand-clear brush, prune trees to legal sightlines, and clean gutters or roadside ditches where needed. We finish with organic mulch, landscape fabric if preferred, and native-friendly plant suggestions to control erosion without chemicals. Benefits include improved safety, better curb appeal, and reduced long-term maintenance.
What’s Included
- Initial on-site assessment and plan.
- Manual brush removal, trimming, and pruning.
- Debris hauling or green-bin/compost disposal.
- Mulch application and clean edging.
Optional upgrades:
- Mulch + fabric installation.
- Organic weed control (manual/organic products only).
- Full haul-away vs. green bin disposal.
Before & After / Expectations
After clearing, expect exposed roots and loamy or compacted soil that benefits from mulch and light amendments. New mulch settles after a rain; re-check edges after the first month. Ivy and blackberry roots can regrow — plan a follow-up visit in 6–12 months for targeted maintenance.
FAQs
- How long will a typical job take? Most small stretches finish in 2–4 hours; larger sections may take a day or two.
- Do you use herbicides? No — we use only manual removal, organic methods, and mulch to suppress regrowth.
- What access do you need? Clear vehicle access for a trailer or a safe spot for hand tools; we can work with limited access on foot.
