Burien Autumn Yard Clean-Up Services

Ah, the beauty of fall in Burien! The air turns crisp, the leaves burst into vibrant colors, and before you know it, your yard is buried under a mountain of leaves and cedar needles. While you savor your pumpkin spice latte, why not let us handle the yard cleanup? Our mission is simple: transform your outdoor space into a neat and tidy haven, ready to face the winter!

We proudly serve neighborhoods across Admiral, Alaska Junction, Alki, Fauntleroy, Arbor Heights, Delridge, Gatewood, High Point, Morgan Junction, and Roxhill. Let’s make your yard the envy of the block!


What’s the Challenge?

  • Leaf drifts and cedar needles can smother your lawn and garden beds, depriving them of essential air and light.
  • Slick walkways and steps can become a safety hazard, making your property less inviting.
  • Flattened beds diminish your curb appeal, creating space for weeds to thrive and mulch to wear thin.
  • Overgrown perennials and shrubs can turn your yard into an untamed jungle, just in time for holiday visitors.

Our Autumn Clean-Up Strategy (Tailored for Burien)

  • Leaf & Needle Removal: We’ll meticulously clear your lawns, flower beds, gravel seams, and hardscapes, ensuring a pristine space.
  • Bed Edge Reset: We’ll redefine your garden beds with sharp, deep edges, setting the stage for winter.
  • Perennial Cutbacks: We’ll carefully trim back unruly plants, leaving beneficial habitat stems 12–18” tall for winter.
  • Shrub Shaping: We’ll tidy up your shrubs, enhancing aesthetics and making your walkways more accessible.
  • Mulch Refresh (2–3”): We’ll pull mulch back from trunks and siding, locking in moisture and suppressing weeds.
  • Lawn Winterizing: We’ll give your lawn a final mow and edge, check for moss, and apply fall fertilizer if needed.
  • Storm Preparation: We’ll ensure your curb lines and inlets are clear, preventing water buildup during the rainy season.

We believe in responsible cleanup—no leaves will be blown into the street or hidden in shrub wells. We load, haul, and leave your yard spotless, so you can enjoy a hassle-free environment.


Optional Add-Ons

  • Gutter & Downspout Outlet Check (ground-level only)
  • Paver Joint Re-Sanding to fix any heavy blowouts.
  • Pressure Washing for slick entry steps and walkways.
  • Gravel Top-Up for muddy side yards and bin areas.

Volume & Timing (What to Expect)

  • 1 cubic yard = 27 cu ft (approximately a 3’ × 3’ × 3’ cube).
  • A 12’ × 20’ lawn with a 2” leaf layer is about 15 cu ft (~½ yd³).
  • If you have Bigleaf Maple trees, anticipate two passes spaced 2–3 weeks apart for optimal cleanup.

Our Annual Maintenance Plan

  • Quarterly Visits: Enjoy spring and fall deep cleans plus two tune-ups to keep weeds and debris at bay.
  • Bi-Monthly Visits: Ideal for properties with heavy tree litter or dense hedge growth.
  • Event Add-Ons: Need a quick spruce-up before the holidays or special gatherings? We’ve got you covered!

We pride ourselves on being a low-maintenance landscaping crew, dedicated to minimizing your hassle between visits.


What’s Included in Our Annual Maintenance

  • Seasonal leaf and needle clears to prevent clogs before they happen.
  • Bed edge re-cuts and mulch management (holding 2–3”).
  • Timely shrub shaping for plant health and improved sightlines.
  • Lawn edges, quick health checks, and simple moss prevention.
  • Complete debris haul-off—we leave no green waste behind!

Why Annual Maintenance is Essential

  • Safer, Cleaner Hardscapes: Enjoy fewer slick spots and unsightly stains.
  • Healthier Plants: Proper mulch and timing lead to fewer winter losses.
  • Reduced Weed Pressure: Covered beds starve the seed bank, keeping weeds at bay.
  • Enhanced Curb Appeal: Tidy lines elevate your property’s look all winter long.
