Burien Power outage cleanup (fallen limbs)
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien’s heavy, wet winters and spring storms often leave yards strewn with fallen limbs, broken branches, and packed debris. Our compact soils and shady slopes around Seahurst Park and Boulevard Park can hide root exposure and clogged gutters, creating drainage issues and mossy patches that invite regrowth and hazards. Homeowners and landlords face safety risks, blocked access, and reduced curb appeal after outages; renters and tenants expect prompt, tidy yards.
A single storm can drop enough material to trip up lawns, damage fences, and block pathways, and slopes in the hills above downtown Burien need careful work to avoid erosion. Property goals vary: some want simple haul-away, others prefer chipping into mulch for low-maintenance beds. We focus on sustainable cleanup — no herbicides — using chipping, mulching, hand-weeding, and green-bin or recycling disposal to keep properties safe and easy to manage between visits.
Our Quality Service
We assess the site, identify hazards, and plan removal that respects wet soils and nearby roots. Work is staged to avoid compaction on saturated lawns and to reduce slope erosion when hauling debris from steeper spots. Benefits include improved safety, restored curb appeal, and long-lasting, low-maintenance results from mulching and strategic pruning.
What’s Included
- Written on-site assessment and hazard report
- Safe limb and branch removal, up to ground level
- Chipping of small branches and optional mulch spreading
- Raking, leaf clearing, and light debris pickup
- Haul-away to recycling or green-bin disposal
Optional upgrades:
- Mulch + landscape fabric for beds
- Organic, manual weed control and moss management (no herbicides)
- Haul-away vs. green-bin drop-off (you choose disposal)
Before & After / Expectations
After cleanup, expect cleaner sightlines, safer walkways, and less debris for weekly mowing. Mulched chips left in beds reduce weeds and lock in moisture while improving soil over time. For the first 2–6 weeks watch for ivy or vine regrowth on slopes; remove new shoots by hand and top-dress with compost if needed. Avoid heavy traffic on newly repaired turf until soils settle.
