Burien Hedge shaping
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien yards face a mix of heavy winter rain, mild summers, shady corners and pockets of full sun. Many homes sit on gentle slopes or near drainage swales, which affects hedge health and encourages moss or root rot where water sits. Local soils are often loamy with pockets of clay that compact over time, slowing drainage and stressing roots. Landlords and homeowners want privacy, low-maintenance boundaries, and tidy curb appeal without repeated work every month.
Unshaped hedges can block sightlines to driveways, trap moisture against siding, and grow into sidewalks or fences. Tenants and passersby need clear paths and safe sightlines, while property managers want reliable plant performance between turnovers. Sustainable pruning and organic mulching help hedges resist disease and regrow correctly, reducing the need for chemical treatments. This guide focuses on practical, sustainable steps suited to Burien microclimates and nearby spots like Seahurst Park and the Highline corridor so your hedges stay healthy, safe, and attractive year-round.

Before & After / Expectations
Expect cleaner lines, better sightlines, and improved air circulation after a shaping visit. New cuts close over weeks; dense hedges may need two seasons to fully thicken. Manage regrowth with light touch-ups and organic mulch to keep weeds and moss down. For slopes, monitor drainage after heavy rains and add mulch to reduce surface runoff and erosion.
Care tips:
- Water new plantings deeply but infrequently.
- Pull young weeds before they set seed.
- Remove ivy at the base — it competes for moisture and can hide problems.
FAQs

Most standard yards take 1–3 hours; larger or complex properties take longer and are quoted onsite. - Do you use herbicides?
