Homeowner’s Issue

Burien yards face a mix of challenges: frequent rain, shallow glacial soils, moss and compaction, and shaded corners under tall evergreens. Slopes toward the Sound or downstreet gutters create drainage and erosion spots, while heavy winter rains compact topsoil and reveal roots or uneven pavers. Many homeowners want low-maintenance beds, safer walkways, and better curb appeal without chemical inputs. Renters and landlords in small lots or near Seahurst Park often report ivy regrowth and moss on lawns, while properties around Boulevard Park see washouts on steeper entries. The goal for most owners here is practical: fix drainage, reduce repeat weeding, improve plant health, and make slopes safer — all with sustainable methods that stand up to our weather.

Our Quality Service

We assess rain patterns, slope grade, and soil texture, then use low-impact fixes: regrading, compost-amendment, proper mulching, and locally suitable plantings. We prioritize safety, long-lasting results, and reduced maintenance frequency. All work uses sustainable practices only — no herbicides — to protect your soil and local waterways.

What’s Included

  • Site assessment and tailored plan
  • Regrading for drainage and erosion control
  • Soil amendment and aeration
  • Pruning, selective removal, and planting
  • Mulch, edging, and hardscape repairs
    Optional upgrades:
  • Mulch + fabric, organic weed control, native plant installations
  • Haul-away or green bin disposal

Before & After / Expectations

After repairs expect firmer paths, fewer low areas that pond, and reduced moss. Water newly amended soil deeply for 2–4 weeks; monitor for ivy regrowth and pull early. Mulch beds yearly and spot-prune to keep maintenance low.

FAQs

  • How long does a typical repair take? Small yards 1 day; larger jobs 1–3 days depending on scope.
  • Do you use herbicides? No — we use organic and mechanical methods only.
  • Can you work on steep slopes? Yes; we install terraces, drains, or native groundcovers to stabilize.
