Burien repair landscape path lights
Homeowner’s Issue
Wet winters, coastal air, and big trees make keeping path lights working a regular task for Burien properties. Heavy rainfall and shade from maples and cedars encourage moss and leaf buildup, while low spots and compacted soils can hold moisture around fixtures and buried wiring. Slopes and root movement — common on yards near Seahurst Park and the Highline corridor — shift fixtures and weaken connections over time.
Landlords and homeowners usually want reliable nighttime safety, low upkeep between tenants, and good curb appeal without repeating repairs every season. Solar units struggle under canopy shade; low-voltage wiring fails faster in saturated soils. That combination leads to flickering lights, corroded contacts, and poor solar charging — problems that are straightforward to diagnose and fix with sustainable, low-impact methods.
Our approach focuses on durable repairs that match common owner goals: safer paths, long-lasting fixtures, and minimal maintenance. We favor energy‑efficient LEDs, proper drainage fixes, and careful wiring placement to prevent repeat issues and keep your rental or home ready for guests.
Our Quality Service
We inspect fixtures, transformers, wiring trenches, and solar panel exposure to pinpoint failure causes. Repairs use corrosion-resistant connectors, sealed fixtures where appropriate, and LED replacements to improve efficiency and reduce future maintenance. We consider slope and drainage, adjusting fixture placement or adding simple grading and mulch to keep water away from wiring.
Benefits include improved nighttime safety, consistent curb appeal for tenants or buyers, and lower ongoing costs from efficient LEDs and smart controls. We follow sustainable practices only — low-impact installs, no herbicides, and organic options for landscape work.

Before & After / Expectations
After service you’ll see brighter, even lighting and a tidy planting edge around fixtures. Expect minor soil disturbance when we access buried wiring; we’ll tidy the area and suggest mulch or planting to conceal repairs. For Burien yards, watch for moss and ivy regrowth in shady pockets and clean lenses seasonally.
Care tips:
- Water deeply but infrequently; avoid pooling near fixtures.
- Pull moss and ivy by hand around lights to limit regrowth.
- Check solar panels after heavy leaf fall; keep them clear for best charging.
