White Center Commercial Leaf removal from parking lots
Homeowner’s Issue
Seattle’s westside weather means leaves come down early and often, and White Center is no exception. Heavy fall rains, clay-rich soils in low spots, and north-facing shade create persistent wet leaf mats that clog drains, stain asphalt, and encourage moss and slippery surfaces. Commercial parking lots near Roxhill, West Seattle, and the Burien corridor face extra challenges: compacted soil along curblines, runoff collecting at storm drains, and tenant foot traffic that grinds leaves into grime. Slopes and crowned lots can pile debris into awkward collection points, and HOA or property management rules usually want quick, tidy results without chemical herbicides. Typical problems we see: blocked drain inlets, ivy creeping into planting beds, and wet mulch converting to a slick surface. For property managers and Commercial owners, these issues hurt curb appeal and can create liability for slips and drainage backups. Sustainable cleanups that compost leaves, remove debris, and restore drainage are the practical answer here — they keep surfaces safe, reduce long-term maintenance, and respect local stormwater rules.
