Burien White decorative gravel install

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien yards get a lot of moisture, shade from cedars and maples, and patches of compacted clay that hold water and feed moss. Low-slope front yards or driveways that angle toward the street can make puddles and slippery paths, while shady rental properties or single-family homes often struggle with ivy and persistent weeds. Landlords and homeowners want durable surfaces that reduce mowing, save water, and cut tenant complaints.

Local soil tends to stay cold and damp, so stone that improves drainage makes a real difference. Tenants need safe, tidy walkways near Highline or White Center, and homeowners want curb appeal without spraying chemicals. Sustainable practices — hand weeding, fabric barriers, and organic weed control — are the reliable way to keep gravel areas stable and low-maintenance year-round.

Our Quality Service

We prepare, grade, and install white decorative gravel to improve drainage and reduce moss using sustainable methods suited to local rain and soils. Work is done to minimize slope erosion, control runoff, and leave clean edges that last.

Benefits:

  • Safer walkways and reduced pooling after rain.
  • Better curb appeal with low ongoing maintenance.
  • Sustainable approach—no herbicides, hand and organic controls only.

What’s Included

  • Site assessment and debris removal
  • Hand weeding and ivy control (sustainable methods)
  • Landscape fabric laid where appropriate
  • Gravel spread to a depth of 2-3 inches and edged cleanly
  • Cleanup and optional haul-away or green bin disposal

Optional upgrades:

  • Mulch + fabric for planting beds
  • Organic weed control programs
  • Decorative edging or added planting pockets

Before & After / Expectations

After install expect improved drainage and a cleaner look within a day for typical jobs. Small regrowth of weeds or displaced stones can be managed with a quick rake and a spot weed by hand.

Care tips:

  • Rake annually and top dress thin spots.
  • Remove leaf litter to limit moss.
  • Hand-pull ivy regrowth near edges.

FAQs

Q: How long will this take?
A: Most standard areas are done in one day; larger or steep sites may take two.

Q: Will you use chemicals?
A: No — we use fabric, hand weeding, and organic options only.

Q: What access do you need?
A: Clear access for a small truck and a 6–8 ft working zone makes the job faster.
