Burien Leaf Removal and Haul Away

Homeowner’s Issue

In this part of the Sound, wet winters and mild summers mean leaves sit damp for days, trapping moisture against lawns and pathways. Heavy leaf cover can smother grass, encourage moss, and create slippery spots on driveways and stairs — especially on shady slopes and properties with clay or compacted soils. Many homes near Des Moines Creek Park and older, tree-lined streets in Normandy Park collect more debris than newer yards, and tight lot lines or steep drives make hauling a chore for busy landlords and homeowners.

Owners want low-maintenance yards that drain well, look tidy, and don’t require constant attention. Good leaf management also prevents gutters and storm drains from clogging, and reduces pests that use leaf litter for shelter. Our local approach focuses on sustainable practices — composting, mulching on-site, and organic weed control — so you get a safer, cleaner yard without harsh chemicals.

Our Quality Service

We work with small crews and practical tools to limit turf damage and control runoff on slopes. Jobs are scheduled around rain forecasts to avoid compacting wet soil. We aim for clean edges, clear gutters if requested, and leave mulch where it helps beds retain moisture.

Benefits:

  • Safer walkways and reduced slip risk
  • Better curb appeal for tenants or resale
  • Low-maintenance results that last through wet months

What’s Included

  • Property assessment and targeted leaf removal
  • Raking, blowing, and hand-collecting from beds and tight spots
  • Haul-away to compost or green-waste facilities
  • Final sweep of hardscapes and lawn
    Optional upgrades:
  • Mulch + landscape fabric installation
  • Organic weed control and spot moss management
  • Haul-away vs. green bin drop-off options

Before & After / Expectations

After service, expect a tidy yard with improved drainage and fewer moss patches. For recovery:

  • Water new plants sparingly; limbs and roots are often moist.
  • Rake remaining damp pockets after a dry day to prevent mildew.
  • Ivy and invasive regrowth may need repeat spot treatments; we suggest organic controls and manual pull sessions.

FAQs

  • How long does a typical job take?
    Most standard yards take 1–3 hours; larger or steeper properties can take longer.

  • Do you use herbicides?
    No — we use sustainable, organic methods only.

  • Can you compost on-site?
    Yes, we can mulch leaves to use as garden mulch or haul to a compost facility.

  • Do you need access to water or electricity?
    Usually no, but access helps for optional gutter cleaning or pressure rinsing.
