West Seattle Wood and lumber hauling
Homeowner’s Issue
West Seattle yards collect wood and lumber debris fast—storm-scattered branches, renovation offcuts, and old fencing. The peninsula’s marine-influenced climate brings long wet seasons, shady yards under big cedars and maples, and persistent moss and ivy in places like Admiral and near Alki. Many properties sit on compacted glacial soils and pocket slopes; heavy wood left on soil increases rot, holds moisture against foundations, and accelerates erosion on exposed banks.
Curb appeal here matters—HOAs and neighbors expect tidy frontages on streets that get lots of foot traffic and walkers. Drainage is a frequent issue: downspouts and drains clog with bark and twigs during fall rains, and stacked lumber can divert water flow on sloped lots. Summer droughts bring different pressures: we see dry rot and increased insect activity in dried piles. Local watering restrictions in hot months make mulching and water-wise cleanup important. Sustainable removal and recycling of wood reduce fire and pest risk and keep neighborhoods tidy without relying on chemicals. If you want durable results that respect West Seattle’s soil, slope, and moisture patterns, the job needs to be done with local know-how and a plan for long-term maintenance.
Our Quality Service
We remove wood, lumber, and woody debris using hand tools, chipper, and pickup hauling. We sort on-site for reuse, chipping, green-waste hauling, or donation when practical. No herbicides — only mechanical and organic methods for weed control and cleanup.
Typical timeline: small jobs same-week, medium loads 1–3 days, larger projects scheduled after an onsite assessment. We carry stump-grinders, chippers, tarps, and biodegradable twine, and follow safe loading and traffic procedures for West Seattle streets and driveways. We handle permit assistance for larger removals and coordinate with the city when required.
Benefits: safer walkways, reduced rot and pests, improved drainage on slopes, better curb appeal, and lower ongoing maintenance through sustainable practices.
What’s Included
- Onsite assessment and volume estimate.
- Manual collection of branches, timber, and construction offcuts.
- Chipping on-site or transport to green-waste facility.
- Site sweep and basic raking of affected areas.
- Proper disposal or recycling; documentation on request.
Options / Upgrades
- Onsite chipping to create mulch for beds.
- Mulch + fabric for beds (low-impact, permeable fabrics).
- Organic weed control: hand-pulling, smothering, and targeted cultural fixes (no herbicides).
- Stump grinding and minor grading for slope stability.
- Haul-away vs. green-bin dropoff (you choose destination).
- Permit coordination for large removals.
Before & After / Expectations
Expect some noise (chipper and saw) and a work zone while we operate; most jobs finish within a day for typical residential volumes. Larger removals or tree work may take multiple days and require driveway access or street parking permits. We separate reusable wood and chip material; some chipping can be left as mulch on-site by request.
Debris handling: you can elect green-bin drop, municipal facility drop, or full haul-away. We leave work areas tidy but recommend a final walk-through to confirm placement of mulch or stacked firewood. Aftercare: in West Seattle, aerate or topdress compacted soil in spring, reapply mulch before dry spells, and clear leaf litter from drains in fall to prevent backups.
FAQs
Q: How fast can you clear a storm-fall of branches?
A: Small to medium loads often same-week; emergency calls handled faster when available. We prioritize safety hazards.Q: Do you use herbicides to prevent regrowth?
A: No. We use mechanical, cultural, and organic methods only—mulch, smothering, and hand removal.Q: Will you chip on-site or haul everything away?
A: Both. We can chip to mulch on-site (reduces haul cost) or haul material to green-waste/transfer stations.Q: Do you need driveway access or permits?
A: Driveway access simplifies staging. For large trees or curbside parking of equipment, we advise permit checks; we’ll handle permit coordination if needed.
