Burien rebuild eroded slope contractor

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien’s frequent rain, clay-heavy soils, and steep yards near Seahurst Park and Des Moines can turn small channels into serious slope failures. Poor drainage, exposed roots, and recurring washouts are common — especially on south-facing slopes that shed water quickly or shaded banks that hold moisture and moss. Landlords and homeowners often want safe, low-maintenance solutions that won’t require weekly attention or chemical herbicides. Typical owner goals include protecting foundations, reducing future repair costs, improving curb appeal, and keeping rental yards safe for tenants. Addressing erosion early with sustainable methods saves time and money later and supports healthier soil and nearby green spaces.

Our Quality Service

We assess slope grade, soil type, and drainage, then design a plan that works with Burien’s rain patterns and local soils. Work emphasizes organic, low‑impact techniques: planting deep‑rooted natives, installing biodegradable erosion blankets, fabric where needed, and gentle grading to slow runoff. The result is safer slopes, improved curb appeal, and lower long‑term maintenance.

What’s Included

  • Site assessment and risk evaluation
  • Grading and soil stabilization
  • Drainage fixes (swales, French drains as needed)
  • Native plantings and groundcover installation
  • Mulch application and erosion control fabric (optional)
  • Cleanup and soil testing recommendations

Optional upgrades:

  • Mulch + fabric installation
  • Organic weed control (mechanical and manual methods)
  • Haul-away or green bin disposal choice

Before & After / Expectations

After work, expect initial settling and a few weeks of monitoring during heavy rains. Water new plants by hand for the first 6–8 weeks, remove competing weeds, and keep mulch 2–3” from stems. Watch for ivy or grass encroachment and pull regrowth early to protect young roots.

FAQs

  • How long does a typical job take? Most small-to-medium slope rebuilds finish within 2–7 days, weather permitting.
  • Do you use chemicals? No — we use only sustainable, non‑chemical methods and native plantings.
  • Will we need ongoing maintenance? Minimal seasonal checks and occasional re-mulching keep the slope stable.
  • Can you work on rental properties? Yes — we coordinate access, minimize tenant disruption, and offer follow-up inspections.
