Burien Clear shrubs from rooflines
Homeowner’s Issue
Overgrown shrubs touching rooflines are common in Burien yards thanks to our mild, wet climate and quick spring growth. Dense foliage traps moisture against eaves and shingles, invites moss and pests, and can tear gutters or roofing on sloped properties. Clay-rich or compacted soils and shaded corners near fences make regrowth faster and pruning trickier. Renters and landlords often want low-maintenance solutions that keep tenants safe and properties attractive without frequent visits. Sustainable pruning and selective removal reduce moisture problems, improve sunlight and air flow, and lower long-term upkeep. In neighborhoods near Des Moines Creek Park and parts of Highline, wind and salt spray can also stress plants—so choosing the right clearances and clean-up methods matters for roof longevity and curb appeal.
