Burien Maple wood mulch installation

Homeowner’s Issue

Rain, shade from big evergreens, and compacted soils are common here, so yards in Burien often drain slowly and grow moss instead of lawn. Sloped front yards toward the street or down toward Seahurst Park can cause mulch to wash if it’s not installed with slope and edging in mind. Renters and landlords want durable, low-maintenance surfaces that look tidy between turnovers, while homeowners aim for better curb appeal and safer play areas. Typical problems we see: persistent weeds, ivy regrowth, muddier beds after winter, and mulch that thins out quickly. Sustainable solutions—like recycled maple wood mulch laid 2-3 inches over prepared soil with optional fabric and proper edging—reduce weeds, slow moisture loss during dry spells, and improve walkability without herbicides. Our focus is practical: long-lasting coverage, easy upkeep, and proper disposal or composting so properties near Lake Burien and local streets stay clean and green.

Our Quality Service

We prepare beds for Burien’s wet winters and summer dry spells, working with slopes and clay pockets to prevent washout. Benefits include improved safety, stronger curb appeal, lower maintenance, and results that last season to season.

  • Site prep tuned to local drainage
  • Proper depth (2-3 inches) for lasting coverage
  • Clean edging to keep mulch contained
  • Sustainable, recycled maple wood

What’s Included

We clear debris, remove weeds, assess soil, and install maple wood mulch at recommended depth. Optional upgrades:

  • Mulch + weed barrier fabric
  • Organic, non-chemical weed control
  • Soil amendments (compost)
  • Haul-away or green bin disposal

Before & After / Expectations

After installation expect immediate neatness and reduced weeds; mulch will settle over a few weeks. For upkeep, pull surface weeds early, rake lightly each season, and top-dress thin spots annually. Moss or ivy regrowth is managed with manual removal and organic mulching rather than herbicides.

FAQs (3–5)

  • How long does a job take? Most residential beds are done in a few hours; larger yards may take a day.
  • Do you use herbicides? No — we rely on manual removal, organic options, and mulch to suppress weeds.
  • Will mulch wash on slopes? We use edging and fabric where needed to stabilize mulch on steeper areas.
  • How often to refresh? Plan for a light top-up every 12–24 months depending on exposure.
