Burien Mulch Haul Away Service

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien properties see a lot of rain, seasonal leaf drop, and moss because of our maritime climate and dense tree canopy near Seahurst Park. Wet winters compact soil, create drainage challenges on sloped lots, and turn old mulch into a soggy mat that holds moisture against plant crowns.

Many homeowners want tidy beds, safer walkways, and lower maintenance without chemical inputs. Excess mulch can hide weeds, encourage voles, and cause erosion on hills if left too deep. Renters and landlords need predictable results between tenancies and want sustainable disposal options that avoid sending organics to landfill.

We focus on practical fixes: correct mulch depth, composting or recycling old material, and improving drainage on slopes to protect plant health and home foundations. Our local experience helps match solutions to Burien microclimates, from sunny pockets to heavily shaded yards, so you get durable, low-maintenance results.

Our Quality Service

We remove excess or degraded mulch, compost or recycle material, and tidy beds with careful handling to protect roots. Work is timed around wet seasons to reduce soil disturbance and improve long-term drainage on sloped properties.

Benefits include improved curb appeal, reduced slip hazards, less brush-up against siding, and a healthier, lower-maintenance yard built with sustainable practices only.

What’s Included

• Initial on-site or photo estimate and volume assessment.
• Careful removal of mulch from beds, paths, and planted zones.
• Raking, light pruning, and bed edging to restore tidy lines.
• Transport and disposal to composting or recycling facilities.
• Final sweep and storm-drain checks near driveways.

Optional upgrades:

• Mulch + weed fabric installation.
• Organic weed control and hand-pulling.
• Haul-away to compost facility vs. green bin drop-off.
• Gravel or planting refresh for erosion-prone slopes.

Before & After / Expectations

Expect a neater bed profile, cleaner edges, and improved plant visibility after service. For Burien yards, water newly exposed soils lightly for a week, monitor moss-prone areas, and hand-pull ivy or creeping weeds early in spring.

Mulch regrowth and weed pressure are normal; plan on seasonal touch-ups or quarterly maintenance for rentals. We recommend organic mulches at proper 1–2” depth to suppress weeds without suffocating soil life.
