Burien Crushed Stone Mulch Installation
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien yards face frequent rain, clay‑heavy soils, and shaded slopes that hold moisture and encourage moss and ivy. Left unchecked, beds turn to muddy messes, edges wash out, and plants struggle in compacted soil. Landlords and homeowners often want something that improves drainage, reduces ongoing work, and looks tidy year‑round without chemical weed killers.
A crushed stone bed stabilizes slopes, allows rain to infiltrate without creating mud, and won’t break down like wood mulch. It works well near Seahurst Park properties and boulevard streets where runoff and foot traffic are common. Typical owner goals are lower maintenance, better curb appeal for rentals, and safer walkways for tenants or family members.
Our Quality Service
We assess grade, soil, and sun/shade, clear existing debris, and install a sustainable system that improves drainage and resists washout. Our approach uses landscape fabric, permeable stone, and organic control methods to minimize repeat visits and protect plant health.
What’s Included
- Site assessment and prep (clear debris, hand‑pull ivy where safe).
- Optional landscape fabric and crushed stone placement at typically 2-3 inches depth.
- Edging, compaction, and clean‑up.
- Disposal options: haul‑away or green‑bin/composting for organic waste.
Optional upgrades: mulch + fabric, organic weed control, different stone sizes/colors.
Before & After / Expectations
After installation you’ll see improved drainage, fewer muddy spots, and a more defined bed edge. Expect some regrowth of surface weeds the first season — remove by hand or use organic controls, and flush gravel with a leaf blower for a refreshed look.
FAQs
- How long does installation take? Usually a day for a typical yard; larger or steep sites may need more time.
- Will it stop moss? It reduces conditions that favor moss but shade and poor airflow also need addressing.
- How do you handle waste? We offer haul‑away or green‑bin/composting for organics.
- Is this low maintenance? Yes — crushed stone lasts years and only needs occasional raking and hand‑weeding.
