Burien Custom-colored mulch install

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien yards face a lot of the same challenges: heavy winter rain, compact clay-rich soils in low spots, steep driveways and sloped planting beds, and a mix of sun and deep shade from tall evergreens. Standing water, moss, and erosion can make beds look tired and create slip risks on slopes near Des Moines Creek or around Burien Town Square. Landlords and homeowners want tidy, low-maintenance beds that hold moisture through summer, discourage weeds without chemicals, and improve curb appeal for tenants or resale. A good mulch strategy addresses drainage, stabilizes slopes, and brightens plantings while reducing the time you spend on upkeep.

Our Quality Service

We install sustainably sourced, custom-colored mulch with attention to slope stabilization, proper depth, and drainage. We avoid herbicides and focus on organic weed control, fabric where appropriate, and material choices that hold moisture in Burien’s variable summer sun. The result is safer paths, stronger plant beds, and a low-maintenance landscape that looks intentionally cared for.

What’s Included

  • Site assessment and soil/grade check.
  • Removal of old mulch and hand-weeding.
  • Soil amending and loosening as needed.
  • Mulch installation to a 2–4 inches depth.
  • Clean edging and debris haul-away or green bin disposal (your choice).

Optional upgrades:

  • Landscape fabric underlay, organic weed control, extra hauling, or gravel accents.

Before & After / Expectations

After installation expect immediate visual improvement and reduced soil splash on rainy days. Mulch settles over weeks; check high-traffic edges and refresh as needed. Watch for ivy or perennial weeds returning from roots — spot-treat with hand-pulling and organic methods.

FAQs

  • How long will the job take? Most residential installs finish in a day; larger properties may take two.
  • Will mulch stop weeds completely? Mulch dramatically reduces weeds but not entirely; organic hand-weeding and optional fabric help most.
  • Do you use pesticides? No. We use sustainable, non-chemical practices only.
  • How often should I refresh mulch? Plan to top-dress every 2–3 years depending on exposure.
