Burien Front Mulch Installation

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien yards and business fronts face a mix of coastal rain, heavy shade, and clay-to-sandy soils that hold water on some slopes and dry out on others. Poor mulch or thin coverage lets weeds and moss take over, exposes roots to erosion on sloped beds, and makes entryways look tired to renters and customers. Landlords and homeowners want tidy, low-maintenance beds that withstand frequent wet seasons, protect soil structure, and cut down on how often crews need to visit. Our local approach considers rain runoff, root protection, and choosing mulch that holds moisture without compacting or promoting excess moss. We focus on sustainable methods that build soil health over time and avoid synthetic herbicides, so plantings stay healthy and maintenance stays predictable.

Our Quality Service

We clear, edge, and prep beds to reduce erosion on wet slopes and improve drainage. We install composted organic mulch at recommended depths, work around shade and drip lines, and compact edges for neatness. Benefits include improved safety on walkways, stronger soil structure, long-lasting curb appeal, and less frequent upkeep.

What’s Included

  • Debris and weed removal (hand-pull + organic spot control)
  • Bed edging and soil leveling
  • Composted organic mulch installed to proper depth
  • Cleanup and haul-away or green bin disposal (your choice)
  • Optional upgrades:
    • Mulch + weed barrier fabric
    • Additional planting (native shrubs)
    • Organic weed controls and moss management

Before & After / Expectations

After installation expect immediate visual improvement and reduced mud and weeds. For care: water new plantings in dry spells, rake mulch annually to refresh, pull returning ivy or invasive roots by hand, and monitor moss in shady areas.

FAQs

  • How long does it take? Most small-to-medium installs are one day; larger sites may take two.
  • Do you use chemicals? No — we use organic mulches, hand removal, and eco-friendly spot treatments only.
  • Can you haul debris away? Yes — choose haul-away or green-bin disposal at booking.
  • Any access needs? Clear parking or a gate for wheelbarrows; we can coordinate tight spaces.
