Burien Tree Pruning (<10’)
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien yards face heavy winter rains, compacted clay loam in some lots, and shady sections under maples and cedars. That mix leads to moss, weak upper branches, and tangled understory growth that can hide hazards and increase ongoing maintenance. Sloped sites near Seahurst Park and parts of the Highline corridor need careful pruning to avoid soil disturbance and erosion while keeping sightlines clear and walkways safe. Homeowners and landlords often want tidy, durable landscapes that need less watering and fewer visits from maintenance crews, so the focus is on targeted cuts, good structure, and sustainable follow-up care.
Our Quality Service
We assess each small tree and shrub, prune for health and form, and remove deadwood using sharp, clean tools. Work is done to minimize soil compaction on slopes and protect root zones, with clippings removed or composted. The result is safer trees, better curb appeal, and lower long-term upkeep.
What’s Included
- Health and structure assessment
- Trimming and shaping for trees under 10’

Before & After / Expectations
After pruning expect improved sightlines, less storm damage risk, and easier mowing or planting under trees. Care tips: keep fresh mulch 2–3” deep, hand-pull ivy and new suckers, water new plantings in dry spells, and inspect annually for regrowth.
