Burien Hardwood mulch installation

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien yards face wet winters, compacted clay pockets, and heavy tree canopy in parts of the city that create shade, moss, and drainage problems. Sloped lots near Seahurst Park and Boulevard Park push water downslope and wash lightweight mulch, while shallow soils mean plants need moisture conserved, not chemicals. Homeowners and landlords want tidy beds that cut down on weeds, reduce maintenance between tenant turnovers, and hold up through the rainy season. Hardwood mulch is a practical, sustainable answer: it moderates soil temperature, holds moisture, and breaks down into organic matter that improves structure over time. Our approach focuses on improving drainage where needed, stabilizing slopes with proper depth and edging, and using mechanical or organic weed controls — no herbicides — to keep landscapes safe for kids, pets, and renters.

Our Quality Service

We assess your bed, slope, and soil, then prep using raking, targeted soil amendments, and hand or mechanical weeding. Mulch is installed at the right depth for Burien’s climate to reduce compaction and slow erosion. Benefits include improved curb appeal, safer walking surfaces, lower maintenance, and long-lasting results that fit rental and homeowner schedules.

What’s Included

  • Site clearing of debris, old mulch, and weeds (hand removal or mechanical)
  • Soil conditioning where needed and clean edging
  • Even hardwood mulch application to recommended depths
  • Final cleanup and guidance for ongoing care

Optional upgrades:

  • Mulch + landscape fabric for extra weed suppression
  • Organic weed control and mechanical moss removal (no herbicides)
  • Haul-away of old material vs. green-bin disposal

Before & After / Expectations

New mulch settles and darkens within days; expect a rich, even look and reduced weed pressure. In Burien, check beds after heavy rains for minor wash and re-edge in spring. For moss and ivy regrowth, hand-pull or spot-treat with non-chemical methods and refresh mulch annually as needed.

FAQs

  • How long does a typical job take?
    • Small beds are often done in a half-day; medium properties typically finish in a day.
  • Do you use chemicals for weeds?
    • No — we use organic and mechanical methods only.
  • Do you need water access or special access?
    • A short hose access or driveway for material drop-off helps; we can work around most access limits.
  • How often should mulch be refreshed?
    • Usually every 1–3 years depending on traffic and exposure.
