Burien Slope & Fence-Line Overgrowth Clearing Services

Is your yard getting swallowed by wild brush and creeping vines? Fear not! At Neat & Tidy Landscaping, we specialize in slope and fence-line clearing that’s not just safe and efficient, but also leaves your outdoor space looking absolutely stunning. We’re on a mission to ensure that every inch of Burien shines, from Admiral to Roxhill!


What’s the Problem?

Overgrown brush can lead to a host of headaches, including:

  • Invasive species like blackberry and ivy overtaking your fences and gardens.
  • Obstructed sightlines at driveways and alleys that can make deliveries a hassle.
  • Erosion on slopes due to vine mats causing soil to wash away during storms.
  • Roots creeping under fences and invading your flower beds from neighboring properties.
  • Relying on a “mow and hope” strategy that only leads to thicker regrowth each month.

How We Clear (and Keep It Clear)

Our process for managing overgrowth is designed to not only tackle the mess but also ensure a sustainable landscape moving forward:

  • Sectional Cut & Haul — We utilize brush cutters and chainsaws for precise cuts, especially on slopes where safety is paramount.
  • Root Work — Our team meticulously grubs out those pesky blackberry crowns, ivy runners, and broom taproots while keeping soil disturbance to a minimum.
  • Fence-Line Detail — We dig out around footings and create defined edges to keep invasive species from sneaking back in.
  • Stabilization — We use jute/coir netting and pinning, topped with 2–3” of mulch to secure your soil from erosion.
  • Replanting — We carefully select dense, slope-friendly groundcovers and shrubs that help shade the soil, reducing the chance of regrowth.
  • Disposal — We can either chip debris on-site or haul it away to green waste, ensuring no “re-root” piles are left behind.

We always call 811 before digging, and we’re well-versed in local regulations regarding street trees, right-of-way, and critical areas—everything is done by the book!


Our Annual Maintenance Plan (Your Yard’s Routine)

Want to keep your yard looking its best year-round? Join our tailored maintenance plan:

  • Resprout Sweeps — Scheduled cuts every 4–8 weeks during the growing season to starve root reserves effectively.
  • Edge Patrol — We consistently monitor fence bottoms, rockery seams, and neighbor lines to keep unwanted regrowth at bay.
  • Mulch Management — Regularly check and maintain even mulch coverage, ensuring it doesn’t smother trunks or siding.
  • Selective Spot-Treatments (optional) — We prioritize Integrated Pest Management (IPM) first and treat only when necessary.
  • Replant Care — Newly planted areas receive proper watering and shaping, filling in any gaps as needed.

We pride ourselves on being a low-maintenance landscaping crew. Our goal? Fewer problems between visits and less work for you!


Service Cadences (Pick What Fits)

Choose a service frequency that best meets your lifestyle:

  • Quarterly — Comprehensive spring/fall clean, followed by two follow-up sweeps.
  • Bi-Monthly — The perfect balance for managing active regrowth and hedge pressure.

(If you’re dealing with heavy infestations, we recommend starting monthly for 60–90 days, then tapering down.)


What Annual Maintenance Includes

When you enroll in our annual maintenance, you can expect:

  • Safety setups on slopes (including rope access where necessary).
  • Comprehensive crown/root-runner management along fences and banks.
  • Slope stabilization through jute/coir and mulch top-ups.
  • Clearly defined edges to keep beds and paths neat.
  • Regular photo updates and a simple resprout log to track your yard’s progress.

Why Annual Maintenance Matters

Investing in regular maintenance offers a plethora of benefits:

  • Stops the Come-Back — Timed interventions starve roots rather than feeding them.
  • Prevents Erosion — Stabilization and planting cover keep your soil securely in place.
  • Safer Access — Clear sightlines for driveways, alleys, and steps enhance safety.
  • Lower Costs — Frequent, small interventions are far more economical than costly reclaim jobs.

How It Works

Here’s how we make the process seamless for you:

  1. Free Estimate — We provide clear, upfront pricing based on your yard’s unique needs, using photos or a quick walkthrough.
  2. Plan the Phases — We’ll discuss access, haul paths, fence strategies, and slope care to ensure a smooth operation.
  3. Service Day — Our team will cut, grub, haul, stabilize, replant, and clean up—all while treating your property with the utmost respect.
  4. Follow-Up — Enjoy scheduled sweeps and easy add-ons (like mulch, drip irrigation, or plant fill-ins) as needed.
