Burien Commercial mulch installation

Homeowner’s Issue

Landlords and homeowners in Burien face frequent wet winters, compacted glacial soils, and shady, moss-prone yards that make planting and maintenance a challenge. Slopes near Seahurst Park and older Highline developments often suffer from erosion and runoff, while flat sections can hold water and encourage weeds and ivy. Property owners want durable, low-maintenance solutions that reduce seasonal cleanups and protect soil without chemical herbicides.

A well-planned commercial mulch install addresses these issues by stabilizing slopes, conserving moisture through summer dry spells, and suppressing weeds with organic materials. For rentals and multi-unit sites, consistent mulching also improves curb appeal for tenants and buyers while reducing ongoing labor and irrigation needs. Our focus is on sustainable practices — composted bark, weed suppression with fabric where appropriate, and organic weed-control methods — so landscapes stay healthy and resilient in Burien’s climate.

Our Quality Service

We assess sun, shade, slope, and drainage to choose the right mulch and application depth for each bed. Work includes clearing debris, limited hand-weeding, grading for drainage, and even spreading to the specified depth. Benefits include improved safety on slopes, long-lasting curb appeal, lower maintenance, and reduced erosion from heavy winter rains.

What’s Included

  • Site assessment and recommendations
  • Clearing old mulch, debris, and light invasive removal
  • Spreading quality organic mulch to specified depth
  • Edging and clean-up for a polished look
  • Aftercare tips for landlords and tenants

Optional upgrades:

  • Mulch + landscape fabric where slope control is needed
  • Organic weed control and spot treatments (no herbicides)
  • Haul-away of debris vs. green bin disposal

Before & After / Expectations

Expect a cleaner bed, stabilized soil, and fewer weeds for months. Mulch settles over 2–4 weeks; add a light top-up each season as needed. For moss and ivy regrowth, repeat organic control and light aeration in spring.

FAQs

  • How long does a job take? Small to medium beds are usually done in a day; larger commercial sites may take 1–2 days.
  • Will mulch stop erosion on slopes? Proper depth and occasional fabric can significantly reduce erosion, especially when combined with grading.
  • Can you use my green bin? Yes — we offer green-bin disposal or hauled-away options depending on site access.
  • How often should we refresh mulch? Once a year is common for high-visibility properties, twice a year for rentals if desired.
