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.

Before & After / Expectations
