Burien Leaf removal from parking lots
Homeowner’s Issue
Autumn and the rainy season bring heavy leaf fall across local street trees, especially near Seahurst Park and older canopy streets. Leaves build up quickly on asphalt and drains, trapping moisture and accelerating wear; wet leaves become slippery, hide oil stains and potholes, and can block catch basins during heavy rain. Burien’s compacted soils and shaded corners also encourage moss and lingering organic matter that make surfaces slick and harder to sweep.
Parking areas at multi-unit rentals and small commercial properties face recurring problems: tenant safety, liability from slips, and tenant complaints about curb appeal. Owners often want low-cost, low-maintenance solutions that reduce repeat visits, keep drains flowing, and use sustainable disposal, not chemical treatments. A practical program focuses on timely leaf removal, composting or green‑bin disposal, and attention to slopes and drainage so small fixes avoid bigger pavement or drainage repairs later.
Our Quality Service
We clean parking lots to address Burien’s rain, slope, and soil challenges using ladder‑free, low-impact methods. Crews use blowers, vacuums, hand rakes, and targeted brush work to keep drains clear without digging up gravel edges or disturbing planted buffers. We do not use herbicides; all vegetation control is mechanical or organic.
Benefits you’ll see: safer walking surfaces, improved curb appeal, fewer tenant complaints, and longer pavement life thanks to less trapped moisture and organic build-up. We focus on solutions that stay effective between visits so you spend less time on maintenance.
What’s Included
- Initial site assessment of leaf sources, slopes, and drainage points
- Systematic leaf collection with blowers and vacuums

- Composting or green‑bin disposal of organic material
- Final sweep and inspection
Optional upgrades:
- Mulch + landscape fabric for planted islands
- Organic weed control and hand-pulling (no herbicides)
- Pressure washing for oil and stain reduction
- Haul‑away vs. green‑bin disposal options
Before & After / Expectations
After service you’ll notice cleaner surfaces and clearer drains within hours. Expect some short-term leaf fragments in tight corners — we return on agreed cadence to keep those cleared. In shaded or moss-prone areas, moss and ivy regrowth can appear; mechanical removal and mulching reduce recurrence.
Care tips for Burien yards and lots:
- Keep drains and gutters free of leaves during fall storms.
- Sweep edges and shrub beds every 2–4 weeks in peak season.
- Replace thin mulch annually to discourage weed and moss re-establishment.
- Water only as needed for planted areas; excessive surface moisture encourages moss.
FAQs
How long does a typical job take?
Most small to mid‑sized lots take 1–3 hours depending on leaf volume and access; larger sites are scoped first for an accurate window.
Do you use chemicals to control weeds or moss?
No. We use mechanical removal, mulching, and organic methods only — no herbicides.
What disposal options do you offer?
We compost when possible, use green‑bin disposal, or haul away to appropriate recycling facilities per your preference.
How often should I schedule service?
For heavy canopy areas, bi‑monthly or monthly in fall works well; quarterly can be enough for light canopy lots.
Do you need access or parking for crews?
We ask for a nearby staging zone or permission to park one vehicle on site; access to drains and corners helps speed the job.
