Burien Front yard mulch installation

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien yards face wet winters, short dry summers, and a lot of shade from maples and cedars. Heavy rainfall and steep driveways or slopes near Seahurst Park can cause erosion and wash bare soil into storm drains. Clay‑rich or compacted soils hold water and encourage moss and weeds, while exposed beds dry out during summer heat waves. Homeowners and landlords often want tidy curb appeal, safer walkways, and less weekly upkeep without using herbicides. A proper mulch layer (typically 2–4 inches thick) helps retain moisture, moderate soil temperature, reduce weeds with organic methods, and slow erosion on slopes—so properties look cared for while cutting weekly chores and irrigation needs.

Our Quality Service

We install organic mulch with attention to Burien’s rain patterns and local soils. We prep beds by hand‑weeding, light pruning, and spot grading to prevent pooling. Mulch is spread to an even 2–4 inches, kept away from trunks and stems, and finished with crisp edging for curb appeal. Benefits include improved safety on walkways, long‑lasting results that reduce maintenance, and a greener yard that supports soil life.

What’s Included

  • Site assessment and photo estimate
  • Hand weeding and bed edging
  • Mulch installation (2–4 inches) and light bed grading
  • Cleanup and haul‑away of debris (or green‑bin disposal)
    Optional upgrades:
  • Landscape fabric under mulch
  • Organic weed control (mechanical/manual methods only)
  • Haul‑away vs. green bin disposal

Before & After / Expectations

After installation expect immediate neater appearance and reduced dust. Mulch will settle in weeks; replenish annually or spot‑top as needed. Care tips: water new plantings lightly, rake to break mats, pull emerging weeds early, and remove ivy or moss by hand—no herbicides used.

FAQs

  • How long will it take? Most front yards finish in a half‑day to one day depending on access and size.
  • Do you use chemicals? No — we use organic mulch and mechanical/manual weed control only.
  • Can you work on sloped beds? Yes, we grade, secure mulch, and suggest erosion‑reducing options for slopes.
  • What maintenance is needed? Annual top‑ups and seasonal spot weeding keep beds healthy.
