Burien Mulch Installation
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien yards deal with a lot: heavy winter rain, compacted glacial soils, shady corners that hold moss, and steep slopes that channel water. These conditions mean bare soil quickly erodes, weeds pop up where mulch has thinned, and plant health suffers from poor drainage and low light.
Homeowners and landlords often want low‑maintenance yards that still look tidy for tenants and curb appeal, without spraying chemicals. Mulch helps with erosion control on slopes, evens moisture in compacted beds, and cuts back on weekly upkeep when installed correctly to the recommended depth (usually 2–4 inches).
Near Seahurst Park and in Highline neighborhoods, properties benefit from mulches that tolerate our wet climate and support soil life. Sustainable choices — recycled wood chips, shredded bark, or compost — protect roots, suppress weeds organically, and build soil structure over time.
Our Quality Service
We prepare beds for Pacific Northwest weather: remove invasive growth by hand, assess soil and slope, and choose mulch that matches exposure and plant needs. Installation is done to the right depth and graded to shed water safely away from foundations.
You’ll get a safer, neater yard that needs less upkeep, reduces erosion on slopes, and improves long‑term soil health.
What’s Included
- Site cleanup: remove old mulch, debris, and hand-pull weeds (no herbicides).
- Soil check and light amendments as needed.
- Mulch delivery and spreading to a recommended 2–4 inches depth.
- Edging and light trimming for a finished look.
Optional upgrades:
- Mulch + fabric (weed barrier) for high-traffic beds.
- Organic weed control and spot maintenance (no herbicides).
- Haul-away of old mulch vs. green‑bin disposal.
Before & After / Expectations
- New mulch looks best immediately; color will mellow over several months.
- Water deeply after installation for settling, then rely on natural rainfall unless newly planted.
- Watch for moss and ivy regrowth in shade; hand-pull or spot-treat with organic methods.
- Plan for a top-up every 6–12 months depending on material and exposure.
FAQs
- How long does a job take? Most single‑yard installs are 2–4 hours; larger properties may take a day.
- Do you use pesticides or herbicides? No — we use sustainable, non‑chemical methods only.
