Burien Recycled Gravel Driveway
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien yards face heavy winter rain, compacted glacial soils, and patches of shade that encourage moss and surface runoff. Driveways often settle, form ruts, and channel water toward foundations or steep edges, especially on lots with mild slopes common near Seahurst Park. Homeowners and landlords want something durable, affordable, and easy to maintain that won’t worsen drainage or require frequent chemical treatments.
A recycled gravel driveway is a practical, sustainable choice for these conditions. Proper base prep, compacted recycled material, and grading keep water moving to approved drains or swales. We focus on organic weed control, landscape fabric options, and mulch or bark edges to reduce upkeep. The result is a safer, permeable surface that fits Burien properties and nearby SeaTac-adjacent streets while lowering long-term maintenance for busy owners.
Our Quality Service
We assess slope, soil, and drainage, then clear and grade the site before installing a compacted base and recycled top layer. Work is tailored to rain patterns and root zones to prevent washouts and edge loss.
Benefits include improved safety, better curb appeal, reduced mowing at edges, and long-lasting, low-maintenance results using sustainable practices only.
What’s Included
- Site clearing, grading, and drainage prep.
- Base layer with recycled stone and compacted top layer.
- Edging installation to keep gravel contained.
- Final grading and clean-up.
Optional upgrades:
- Landscape fabric + mulch edge.
- Organic weed control (no herbicides).
- Haul-away or green bin disposal.
Before & After / Expectations
After installation expect firm, permeable surface that settles slightly over weeks; plan for seasonal top-ups. For care, rake high spots, add 1–2” recycled gravel every 2–4 years, and keep gutters and swales clear to prevent erosion.
FAQs
- How long does installation take? Most drives finish in 1–3 days depending on size and drainage work.
- Will weeds return? With fabric and organic control, regrowth is minimal but occasional spot raking helps.
- Do you use herbicides? No — we use organic and mechanical methods only.
- What access is needed? Driveway access for equipment and a clear turnaround space makes the job faster.
