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

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.
