Burien Lava Rock Gravel Installation
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien properties face long, wet winters, compacted clay soils, and moss in shady corners beneath maples and evergreens. Sloped yards toward the street or walkways collect runoff and mud, and many homeowners want a tidy, low-maintenance surface that won’t wash away or rot like bark mulch.
Rentals and owner-occupied yards need durable solutions that improve drainage, reduce weeding, and stand up to heavy rain and foot traffic. Nearby pockets like White Center and the Des Moines corridor share these challenges, so a solution that stabilizes slopes, limits moss, and avoids herbicides fits most local goals.
Our Quality Service
We install lava rock gravel with sustainable practices: hand clearing, organic weed control, geotextile fabric where needed, and proper grading for drainage. Work is planned around Burien rain patterns and typical soil, giving long-lasting, low-maintenance results that boost curb appeal and safety.
What’s Included
- Site assessment and slope/drainage check
- Weed and debris removal (manual + organic control)
- Soil prep and compaction where required
- Geotextile weed barrier installation
- Even spread of lava rock gravel to agreed depth
- Final grading and site cleanup
Optional upgrades: - Mulch + fabric for planted beds
- Additional decorative stone or boulders
- Haul-away (truck) or green bin disposal
Before & After / Expectations
After installation expect reduced mud, fewer weeds, and improved runoff. Allow two weeks for settling on slopes and avoid heavy traffic for 48 hours. Common care tips:
- Spot-water new plantings only; lava rock reduces evaporation.
- Pull any surface weeds early; fabric limits regrowth.
- Manage moss and ivy by hand removal and increased light where possible.
FAQs
- How long does an install take? Small yards often take a day; larger or sloped sites may take 1–2 days.
- Do you use herbicides? No — we use organic weed control and fabric only.
- Will the gravel wash away? Proper grading and edging prevent most movement; slopes get extra anchoring.
- Can you match existing landscaping? Yes — we coordinate color, depth, and edging to fit your yard.
