Burien Decorative Rock Mulch Installation

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien yards face frequent rain, clayey soils, and shaded slopes that hold moisture and encourage moss and weeds. Heavy downpours near Seahurst Park can wash loose organic mulch, leaving bare spots and muddy paths. Landlords and homeowners often want lower maintenance, cleaner edges, and reduced erosion without using herbicides. Balancing sun and shade, fixing drainage on slopes, and protecting root zones are common goals. Our approach focuses on sustainable materials and practices that handle Burien’s wet winters and mild summers while keeping properties tidy, safe for tenants and kids, and attractive year-round.

Our Quality Service

We prepare beds with attention to local soil and slope, add fabric for long-term weed reduction, and install decorative rock sized and colored to fit your home. Work is staged to limit compaction and improve drainage on sloped areas. We use organic weed-control methods and no herbicides, and favor locally sourced stone to reduce environmental impact. Results deliver safer walkways, better curb appeal, and minimal upkeep.

What’s Included

  • Site clearing of old mulch, debris, and surface weeds.
  • Soil assessment for drainage and slope correction.
  • Landscape fabric installation and rock placement.
  • Bed edging, cleanup, and site dressing.
  • Optional upgrades:
    • Mulch + fabric for planting pockets.
    • Organic weed control and manual ivy removal.
    • Haul-away of old material or green‑bin disposal.

Before & After / Expectations

After installation expect immediate reduction in mud and erosion and a clean, uniform look. Care tips: rake debris seasonally, pull any weeds that breach fabric, spot-treat with organic methods, and monitor moss in shaded zones. Ivy regrowth on borders may need repeat hand-removal.

FAQs

  • How long does it take? A typical yard takes about 1 to 2 days depending on prep and access.
  • What does it cost? Expect roughly $3 to $10 per square foot depending on rock type and scope.
  • Will fabric stop all weeds? Fabric greatly reduces surface weeds; occasional hand weeding or organic follow-up may be needed.
  • Do you use herbicides? No — we use sustainable, non‑chemical methods only.
