Burien Remove old gravel
Homeowner’s Issue
Old gravel beds in Burien often compact, collect organic debris, and channel rainwater toward foundations or down slopes. Many homes near Seahurst Park and White Center see washout during heavy fall and winter rains, moss growth in shaded spots, and weed regrowth through thinning stones. Sloped driveways and front-yard beds can become uneven and trip-prone, while compacted gravel stops water from infiltrating and stresses nearby plants.
Homeowners and landlords want tidy, safe yards that don’t need constant attention and that fit Seattle’s sustainable values. Goals typically include improved drainage, easier mowing and edging, reduced slip hazards, and a low-maintenance surface that withstands seasonal storms. Addressing old gravel with hand-removal, recycling where possible, and organic weed control gives long-term results without herbicides.
Our Quality Service
We remove and dispose of old gravel using manual and mechanical methods chosen for minimal disturbance. We match site prep to local rainfall, slope, and soil—adding fabric, compost amendments, or gentle regrading as needed. Sustainable practices include reusing clean gravel, composting organic matter, and avoiding chemical weedkillers to protect soil and local streams.
Benefits include improved safety, renewed curb appeal, lower maintenance, and longer-lasting results tailored to Burien microclimates.
