Burien Summer fertilizer application

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien yards face a mix of coastal marine influence, frequent cool cloud cover, and heavy winter rains that compact soils and encourage moss. Many properties near Seahurst Park and the Highline College area have patchy sun exposure, clayey topsoil, and slopes that shed nutrients during heavy showers. Homeowners and landlords want a green, resilient lawn without adding more work or risking runoff into Puget Sound. Sustainable summer feeding that uses slow‑release organic inputs, compost topdressing, and aeration helps grass recover from spring growth, tolerate drier mid‑summer spells, and reduce moss and weed pressure. Our approach fits small yards, rental properties, and sloped sites — prioritizing pet-safe products, minimal runoff, and longer-lasting results so you spend less time troubleshooting and more time enjoying your outdoor space.

Our Quality Service

We use soil testing and slow‑release organic fertilizers matched to your lawn’s pH and nutrient needs. Applications are timed to avoid heavy rain and are paired with aeration or overseeding on compacted or thin lawns. Work is done to reduce runoff on slopes and protect nearby storm drains and shorelines.

  • Benefits: safer for kids and pets, improved drought tolerance, better curb appeal, and lower long‑term maintenance.

What’s Included

  • Soil testing and nutrient recommendations
  • Even application with calibrated spreader
  • Post‑application water and care guidance
  • Optional aeration and overseeding

Optional upgrades:

  • Mulch + landscape fabric for beds
  • Organic weed control (no herbicides)
  • Compost topdressing
  • Haul-away vs. Green Bin disposal

Before & After / Expectations

After application expect greener growth in 2–4 weeks. Keep newly fed lawns watered lightly for several days if hot, and avoid heavy foot traffic for a week. Watch for moss and ivy regrowth; repeated organic feeding plus aeration and overseeding usually reduces these over a season.

FAQs

  • How long does a visit take? Most lawns are treated in 30–90 minutes depending on size and add‑ons.
  • Can you work on slopes and terraces? Yes — we adjust rates, use slow‑release products, and limit runoff.
  • Are products pet and kid safe? We use organic, pet‑safe fertilizers and avoid herbicides.
  • Do you offer follow-ups? Yes — we recommend seasonal checks and can schedule recurring service.
