Burien Leaf Removal
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien properties face a steady fall of leaves from maples, alders, and ornamental trees. Heavy rain and wind pack wet leaves into lawns and gutters, creating slippery walkways and clogged drains. Many yards here have compacted, clay-rich soil or modest slopes that hold moisture and encourage moss. Shaded spots under mature trees struggle for sunlight, and leaf mats can smother grass, invite mold, or feed ivy regrowth. Owners want tidy, safe yards that don’t demand constant upkeep and that manage seasonal runoff sensibly. For homes near Seahurst Park and neighborhoods along Highline, sustainable leaf handling—mulching, composting, or green-bin disposal—keeps nutrients in the landscape while avoiding synthetic chemicals. This guide helps landlords and homeowners plan efficient, eco-friendly leaf cleanup that reduces repeat visits and protects drainage on sloped lots.
Our Quality Service
We remove leaves using hand-raking, mulching mowers, and low-dust vac systems sized for residential yards. Work is timed to avoid soggy conditions that compact soil or wash leaves into storm drains. We focus on slope stability, clearing gutters and channels so water moves away from foundations and downspouts. Benefits include improved safety, better curb appeal, and lower maintenance long-term by returning shredded leaves to beds as mulch or hauling to compost.
What’s Included
- Walk-through inspection and scope
- Raking, blower/ vacuum where needed, and lawn clearing
- Bagging and disposal to green bin or haul-away
- Gutter brushing and downspout checks
- Final sweep of driveways and sidewalks
Optional upgrades:
- Mulch + fabric for planting beds
- Leaf shredding for on-site mulch
- Organic weed control (manual or mechanical)
- Haul-away vs. green bin composting
Before & After / Expectations
After service, expect a tidy yard and clearer gutters. Water newly exposed lawn areas lightly to settle grass crowns. Watch shaded beds for moss and hand-pull early ivy regrowth—mulched beds suppress re-rooting. Leaves left as shredded mulch will break down over the season; larger piles should be composted off-site.
