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.
