Burien Boxwood Trimming

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien yards face a wet Northwest climate, compacted soils in low spots, and mixed sun/shade from mature maples and cedars. Heavy winter rain can push soil into beds, encourage moss and ivy, and create drainage challenges on sloped lots near Seahurst Park or the Des Moines hills. Boxwoods left unchecked become dense inside, which traps moisture and invites pests or branch die-back. Homeowners and landlords want tidy, safe borders that drain well, look appealing for renters or resale, and reduce upkeep between visits. We focus on pruning to open the canopy, improving air flow, and adding organic mulch to retain moisture in dry spells without using herbicides. That approach keeps plants healthier, paths clear, and maintenance simple for busy property owners.

Our Quality Service

We prune for structure and health using clean tools and sustainable methods — hand pruning, selective thinning, and composting clippings. Work is timed for local seasons to reduce stress on plants, manage slope runoff, and avoid muddy yards. Benefits include improved safety, better curb appeal, and long-lasting, low-maintenance beds.

What’s Included

  • Assessment of health, shape, and drainage.
  • Precise trimming and selective thinning.
  • Edging and cleanup of clippings.
  • Optional mulch + fabric, organic weed control (no herbicides), and soil improvement.
  • Haul-away or green-bin disposal options.

Before & After / Expectations

Water new trims lightly in dry weeks, watch for moss in shaded spots, and pull ivy regrowth early. Mulch 2”–3” after work to suppress weeds and conserve moisture. Expect fuller, healthier boxwoods within a season.

FAQs

  • How long will a job take? Small yards: 1–3 hours; larger sites quoted onsite.
  • Do you use chemicals? No — we use organic, mechanical, and cultural controls only.
  • Is access required? Gate or driveway access for tools and green-bin/haul-away pickup is helpful.
