Burien Fix Torn Landscape Fabric

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien yards see a lot of rain, moss, and shade under big maples and cedars. Heavy winter storms and saturated soils can lift staples, shift fabric on slopes, and let weeds and ivy find their way through tears.

Many properties here have compacted glacial till or clay layers that hold water, so fabric loosens where drainage is poor or where runoff concentrates. Renters, landlords, and busy homeowners often want a tidy bed that won’t need constant attention between turnovers or rainy seasons.

Goals usually focus on safer walkways, reduced weed maintenance, and good curb appeal without relying on chemicals. That means durable fixes that handle Burien’s wet climate, slow erosion on small slopes, and let mulch do the heavy lifting for weed suppression.

Our Quality Service

We repair or replace torn fabric using durable anchoring, proper overlap, and soil prep that respects drainage patterns. Work is done with sustainable methods only — we avoid herbicides and favor organic weed control and mulches.

You’ll see better safety around steps and edges, improved curb appeal, and less weekly upkeep. Results are chosen to last in local rain, on modest slopes, and in shady beds near places like Seahurst Park and White Center.

What’s Included

  • Assessment of damage, soil, and drainage.
  • Clearing debris, weeds, and loose mulch.
  • Patch repairs or full fabric replacement as needed.
  • Proper anchoring and overlap at seams.
  • Fresh mulch installation (optional depth per request).
  • Final sweep and removal of loose material.

Optional upgrades:

  • Mulch + landscape fabric underlay.
  • Organic weed control (mechanical/hand methods and organic mulch).
  • Haul-away vs. green bin disposal.

Before & After / Expectations

After repair expect a neater bed that suppresses weeds and stays put through rain. New mulch helps retain moisture and reduces surface erosion.

Care tips: water new plantings lightly, pull small weeds early, rake mulch annually, and check fabric edges after heavy storms. For ivy or vigorous regrowth, plan follow-up hand removal rather than chemicals.

FAQs

  • How long will a repair take?
    • Small patches: 1–3 hours. Full bed replacement: most jobs finish in a day.
  • Do you use herbicides?
    • No — we use sustainable, non-chemical methods and organic mulches.
  • Is access a problem for rentals or tight yards?
    • We can work with narrow access; photos beforehand help us plan.
  • How often should I check fabric?
    • Inspect after major storms and every 3–6 months for edges or tears.
