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.

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.
