Burien Wood and lumber hauling
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien yards see a lot of wet weather, clayey or compacted soils, and shaded slopes near ravines and properties that back onto natural areas. Fallen limbs from winter storms, construction offcuts, and old fencing lumber collect quickly, creating trip hazards, hiding pests, and trapping moisture against foundations. Many properties in Burien — especially around Seahurst Park and the older White Center corridors — have mixed sun and shade, making moss and ivy regrowth common after pile removal. Drainage can be slow on flatter lots or where run-off follows compacted paths, so leaving wood piles can worsen rot and encourage weeds.
Homeowners and landlords usually want three things: a safe tidy yard, low ongoing maintenance, and sustainable disposal. That means clearing debris promptly, recycling what we can into mulch or compost, and choosing haul-away vs. green-bin options based on City of Burien rules. We focus on long-term results — improving curb appeal while reducing repeat visits by addressing slopes, drainage paths, and sun/shade microclimates so your yard stays cleaner between services.
Our Quality Service
We assess your lot, including slope, drainage points, and sun/shade patterns, then remove lumber and wood debris with minimal disturbance. Work is scheduled around typical Puget Sound rain patterns to avoid tracking and erosion. We prioritize recycling and mulching, and never use chemical herbicides — only organic weed control and physical suppression methods.
Benefits:
- Safer yards and tidy curb appeal.
- Lower maintenance with sustainable disposal and mulching.
- Longer-lasting results that respect local soils and slopes.
What’s Included
- Onsite assessment of debris, slope, and access.
- Collection and hauling of wood, branches, pallets, and lumber.
- Site cleanup and light raking to reduce trip hazards.
- Transport to recycling or approved disposal facilities.
Optional upgrades:
- Mulch + landscape fabric installation to suppress weeds.
- Organic weed control and follow-up hand-weeding.
- Haul-away vs. City green-bin disposal (we advise on best, sustainable option).
- Haul-away of old soil or compostable green waste vs. on-site chipping for mulch.
Before & After / Expectations
After removal expect a cleaner, safer yard with less standing moisture near foundations. For the first 4–8 weeks:
- Water newly exposed soil lightly to settle it, avoiding pooling.
- Pull small weed seedlings early; organic control helps but hand-pulling is most reliable.
- Watch for moss return in shaded areas — increase airflow by pruning lower branches.
- Ivy regrowth may need follow-up visits; we can schedule a check-in.
FAQs
- How long does a typical job take?
- Most residential loads are handled in 1–3 hours depending on volume and access.
- Do you use herbicides to stop regrowth?
- No — we use organic, physical, and mulching methods only.
- What disposal options do I have?
- We recommend recycling/chipping for mulch, green-bin for yard waste, or haul-away to approved facilities.
- Do you need driveway access?
- Yes. Wider access makes work faster; we can work from the street if needed.
