Burien Green Waste Disposal
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien properties see a lot of organic debris year‑round thanks to our cool, wet climate. Frequent rain, shaded yards and compacted soils mean moss, ivy, and persistent weeds are common, and many yards sit on small slopes that channel runoff into low spots. Homeowners and landlords want tidy, safe yards with low upkeep that still handle Seattle‑area weather without constant work.
For many Burien homes the goals are simple: reduce trip hazards, limit pest habitat, and keep curb appeal high for tenants or resale. That often means removing fallen branches, recurring leaf buildup, and mountain of clippings after seasonal growth spurts. Proper cleanup also helps drainage on sloped lots and prevents soggy, compacted beds that invite moss. Our work focuses on practical, sustainable solutions that fit tight driveways and alley access common across the area, and we prioritize methods that cut maintenance needs while improving long‑term soil health.
Our Quality Service
We handle green waste with hands‑on care tailored to heavy Pacific Northwest rain and the clay/loam mixes typical here. We hand‑rake, prune, and clear drainage lines so runoff moves where it should and plantings get improved airflow.
Benefits you’ll notice:
- Improved safety and fewer slipping or tripping hazards.
- Better curb appeal for tenants or potential buyers.
- Lower ongoing maintenance with strategic pruning and mulching.
- Long‑lasting results using composting and recycled mulch, not chemicals.
What’s Included
- Full yard sweep: leaves, clippings, small branches, and debris.
- Pruning and light tree/shrub trimming to promote healthy growth.
- Edging of beds and pathways for a neat look.
- Haul‑away to compost facility or green bin drop‑off, your choice.
- Cleanup of gutters/low drainage channels if needed.
Optional upgrades:
- Mulch + landscape fabric installation for lasting weed suppression.
- On‑site compost setup or delivery of recycled compost.
- Organic, non‑chemical weed control (manual removal, steaming).
- Gravel refresh or small haul‑away vs. green‑bin disposal.
Before & After / Expectations
After service you’ll see an immediate visual difference: cleaner lines, less surface debris, and beds set up to dry and breathe. Expect a few weeks of light regrowth from resilient weeds or ivy runners; those need follow‑up removal.
Care tips:
- Water established beds sparingly to prevent moss in shaded corners.
- Hand‑pull or spot‑treat regrowth with physical removal rather than chemicals.
- Reapply mulch annually to suppress weeds and reduce maintenance.
FAQs
How long does a typical cleanup take?
Most single‑family yards take 2–5 hours depending on size and debris. We’ll give an estimate after a quick photo or visit.
Can you haul everything away?
Yes — choose haul‑away to a composting facility or we can dropables into your green bin when accessible.
Do you use herbicides?
We use sustainable, non‑chemical methods only — manual removal, steaming, and mulch to suppress weeds.
What access do you need?
A clear gate or driveway access is helpful; narrow alleys are fine with advance notice.
