Burien Campground gravel pads
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien campgrounds and small rental sites face a lot of Pacific Northwest weather: frequent rain, shaded areas under cedars and maples, compacted clay soils, and slopes that channel runoff. That combination causes gravel to sink into mud, weeds and moss to take over, and pads to become uneven or slippery — problems that hurt safety and guest impressions.
Landlords and homeowners want pads that drain, are easy to maintain between visits, and look tidy for rentals or day-use sites. Typical local goals are safer walkways, stable parking/campsite surfaces that shed water, and solutions that reduce recurring labor. Near Seahurst Park and other seaside hills, low‑maintenance, sustainable approaches that avoid herbicides and keep runoff controlled are the best long‑term choice.
Our Quality Service
We assess slope, surface soil, and drainage, then prep pads to shed water and resist compaction using landscape fabric, proper base rock, and recycled or washed gravel. Work is done to reduce future upkeep with sustainable practices — no herbicides, organic weed control options, and materials chosen for local conditions.
Benefits:
- Safer, firmer surfaces in wet weather
- Improved drainage and reduced erosion
- Attractive, low‑maintenance pads that hold up to foot and vehicle traffic
What’s Included
- Site assessment and slope/drainage check
- Clearing, debris and weed removal (manual/mechanical)
- Base prep, landscape fabric, and gravel spreading
- Edging and compaction for a finished pad
Optional upgrades:
- Mulch + fabric at borders
- Organic weed control and follow‑up visits
- Haul‑away of old material or green‑bin disposal
Before & After / Expectations
After installation expect an immediate improvement in drainage and stability; new gravel beds settle over a few weeks. Care tips: rake compacted spots seasonally, pull perennial weeds by hand, and clear leaf build‑up to prevent moss and ivy regrowth.
FAQs
- How long does installation take? Small pads are often one day; larger or sloped sites may take two.
- Will gravel wash away? Proper edging and base prep greatly reduce wash; steeper slopes need extra drainage work.
- Can you avoid chemicals for weeds? Yes — we use fabric, mulching, hand removal, and organic options only.
- Do you haul old material? Yes — choose haul‑away or green‑bin disposal at booking.
