Burien Backyard Play Area Gravel

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien yards face a lot of rain, compacted glacial soils, moss in shady corners, and slopes that channel water toward foundations. Homeowners and landlords want a safe, low‑maintenance surface that drains, resists rutting, and looks tidy without constant upkeep. Play areas near Seahurst Park or properties along Highline roads often sit under trees or on slight grades, which makes organic matter and weeds a recurring problem. Gravel is a practical, permeable solution that reduces runoff, cushions play, and stays usable through our wet seasons. For landlords, a gravel play area cuts recurring repair time and tenant complaints; for homeowners it frees weekends for family time instead of constant yard work.

Our Quality Service

We prepare the site, grade for proper drainage, install a long‑lasting fabric barrier, and place the right gravel depth for safety and compaction. We use sustainable practices: no herbicides, hand weeding, organic weed control, and recycled materials where possible. The result is safer play space, improved curb appeal, and a surface that needs minimal seasonal care.

What’s Included

  • Site assessment and grading for drainage
  • Removal of turf/organic debris and light excavation
  • Landscape fabric installation and compacted base
  • Gravel spread to specified depth and neat edging
  • Final cleanup and homeowner care guidance

Optional upgrades:

  • Mulch + fabric borders
  • Organic weed control packages
  • Haul‑away of debris or green‑bin disposal

Before & After / Expectations

Expect short‑term settling and tightening in the first 2–3 months; we top up as needed. Care tips: rinse dusty gravel after dry spells, hand‑pull or use organic treatments for weeds, rake high‑use spots yearly, and watch for ivy or moss regrowth at shaded edges.

FAQs

  • How long will installation take? Most standard play areas are completed in 1–2 days.
  • Will gravel wash away on slopes? Proper grading, edging, and base compaction prevent migration.
  • Do you use chemicals? No — we rely on organic and mechanical weed control only.
  • Can landlords schedule regular upkeep? Yes — seasonal tune‑ups and top‑ups are available.
