Burien treat diseased lawn patches
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien yards face a mix of wet winters, mild summers, and soils that can compact easily, which encourages moss, fungal spots, and bare patches. Slopes near Three Tree Point and low areas around Lake Burien collect runoff, leaving some sections waterlogged while other slopes dry out fast, creating uneven stress on turf. Sun and shade patterns vary block to block — many lawns get morning sun and heavy afternoon shade from big firs — so disease shows up in predictable patches.
Homeowners and landlords often want a low-maintenance, healthy lawn that survives heavy rains without frequent chemical use. Goals usually include better curb appeal, safer play areas for kids and pets, and fewer repeat visits for spot repairs. We focus on sustainable, mechanical, and organic fixes that match local soil, drainage, and light conditions to restore turf without herbicides.
Our Quality Service
We use local-tested methods: targeted inspection, soil checks, core aeration, topdressing with organic compost, and overseeding with shade-tolerant blends. All treatments are mechanical or organic — no herbicides — and we prioritize techniques that reduce moss and disease recurrence in Burien’s climate.
Benefits include improved safety on slopes, stronger drought and disease resistance, cleaner curb appeal, and lower long-term maintenance needs.

- Detailed lawn assessment and disease identification.
- Soil pH and nutrient check.
- Core aeration to relieve compaction.

Optional upgrades:
- Mulch + landscape fabric for beds.
- Organic weed control treatments (no synthetic herbicides).
- Irrigation tune-up or simple drip setup.
- Haul-away vs. green-bin disposal option.
Before & After / Expectations
After treatment expect improved germination in 2–6 weeks and fuller coverage over one season with regular care. Keep newly seeded patches moist with light watering, and avoid heavy traffic until roots establish. Watch for moss rebound in shaded, damp spots — regular raking, targeted thinning of canopy, and organic topdressing help prevent return. For ivy regrowth, repeat hand removal and spot overseeding as needed.
Care tips for Burien yards
- Water lightly once or twice daily for the first 2 weeks, then reduce frequency to encourage deep roots.
- Rake moss and dethatch in early spring or fall when soil is workable.
- Thin overhanging branches to add morning sun and reduce moss growth.
- Re-seed thin areas each fall for best establishment.
FAQs
How long to see results?
Seed starts in 2–3 weeks; noticeable fill-in usually in one season with proper watering and care.
Will you use herbicides?
No — we use organic and mechanical methods only, including compost, overseeding, and hand removal.
Do you work on rentals and multi-unit properties?
