Burien reset solar landscape lights
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien yards face a mix of coastal cloud, frequent drizzle, and shade from mature maples and evergreens. That steady damp and low winter sun reduces charge time and lets moss and grime build up on solar panels, so lights dim or stop working. Slopes and compacted soil near sidewalks and driveways can shade fixtures at different times of day, and leaf litter or ivy will cover panels quickly in the rainy season. Homeowners and landlords often want reliable night lighting for safety, curb appeal for rentals, and low-maintenance solutions that don’t require chemicals. Near Seahurst Park and along Des Moines Creek Trail properties, salt air and wind can add grit to lenses. The good news is most problems are simple: clean panels, reset controls, and replace tired batteries with recyclable options. Regular, sustainable upkeep keeps pathways lit, cuts down on replacements, and avoids harsh chemicals while supporting long-lasting, dependable performance.

Before & After / Expectations
After service expect brighter, more consistent evening light and fewer outages. For the first month keep bulbs clear of leaf litter and prune low branches that cast shade. In rainy months monitor for moss on panels and clear debris after windy days. If ivy regrows, remove by hand and use mulch to discourage return.
