Burien Landscape Gravel Refreshing
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien properties face heavy, frequent rain, clayish soils in some neighborhoods, and shady pockets that hold moisture. That combination leads to compacted, muddy gravel, moss growth, and weeds taking hold along slopes and drive edges. Sloped driveways and walkways near Seahurst Park or Boulevard Park can wash fines downhill, creating uneven surfaces and drainage problems.
Homeowners and landlords usually want safe, tidy walkways, reliable drainage, and something low-maintenance between tenant turnovers. Gravel can deliver that when refreshed correctly: a stable base, correct depth, and the right aggregate size stop rutting and reduce standing water. Sustainable, chemical-free practices keep plants and soil healthy while lowering long-term upkeep and improving curb appeal.
