Burien replace worn turf edges
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien yards face a lot: steady winter rain, moss-friendly shade, compacted soils in older neighborhoods, and slopes that channel runoff toward paths or street drains. These conditions wear turf edges quickly, leaving ragged borders that collect mud and make mowing harder. Landlords and homeowners often want low-effort solutions that reduce slippery moss, prevent soil loss on slopes, and keep rental properties presentable between turnovers.
Near Seahurst Park and parts of Highline, yards get varied sun exposure—morning sun, afternoon shade—and roots from mature trees make clean edging tougher. Proper edging also helps control where water goes, reducing pooling by walkways and driveways. Sustainable fixes—think hand-trimming, organic soil amendments, mulch and fabric, and targeted small sod patches—work best here because they suit our wet climate and avoid chemical runoff into nearby creeks and storm drains.
Our Quality Service
We focus on practical, sustainable repairs that suit local rain, slope, and soil conditions. Work is done to improve safety, reduce mowing time, and make borders tidy without heavy disruption. You’ll get low-maintenance results that hold up through rainy seasons and heavy foot traffic.
What’s Included
- Site assessment and recommendations for slope, drainage, and root issues.
- Removal of ragged turf and debris by hand or with small tools.
- Sod patching or reseeding where needed; clean mechanical or manual edging.
- Leveling, compost or organic soil amendment, and final tamping.
- Cleanup and responsible disposal (haul-away or green bin option).
Optional upgrades:
- Mulch + landscape fabric, organic weed control, and longer-term soil improvement.
Before & After / Expectations
After edge replacement expect a few weeks of close watering for seed or sod, and light foot traffic for 7–14 days. Control moss with improved drainage, hand-raking, topdressing with compost, and increased sunlight where possible. Ivy or aggressive weeds will need follow-up hand-weeding or organic treatments to prevent quick regrowth.
