Burien Seasonal mulch refreshing

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien yards deal with a lot — frequent rain, heavy shade under mature maples and evergreens, clay-rich patches, and sloped lots that channel runoff. Mulch breaks down faster here and often compacts, allowing weeds, moss, and ivy to resurface. Landlords and homeowners want tidy beds that reduce maintenance, protect plant roots, and help manage water without toxic inputs. Sustainable mulching is a simple, effective way to address erosion, hide bare soil, and make landscapes look cared for between visits.

Our Quality Service

We assess your site and recommend organic mulch types and depths suited to local soils and slope conditions, then install cleanly and evenly to 2–3 inches where appropriate. Work is done to minimize compaction, preserve soil life, and direct runoff away from foundations. We only use sustainable practices — no herbicides — and focus on long-lasting results that lower future upkeep.

What’s Included

  • Remove old mulch, debris, and visible weeds.
  • Light pruning and bed edging for clean lines.
  • Install fresh organic mulch at 2–3 inches.
  • Final sweep and tidy of paths and driveways.
  • Optional upgrades:
    • Mulch + landscape fabric (where breathable placement helps)
    • Organic weed control and hand-weeding
    • Haul-away versus green bin disposal

Before & After / Expectations

After service, expect improved curb appeal and reduced surface erosion. Mulch will settle over a few weeks; add a light top-up in fall if needed. Care tips: water newly planted areas lightly, pull new weeds early, rake moss from compacted spots, and keep ivy cut back at the root to prevent regrowth.

FAQs

  • How long does a job take?
    Small beds are often done in a few hours; larger or sloped properties may take a day.

  • Will you use herbicides?
    No — we use organic, hands-on methods only.

  • Do you handle steep slopes and drainage?
    Yes; we can suggest gravel, terracing, or fabric in combination with mulch.

  • How often should I refresh mulch?
    Typically every 6–12 months, depending on exposure and breakdown.
