Burien Cone or Pyramid Trimming
Homeowner’s Issue
Local yards face heavy marine-influenced rain, compacted glacial soils, and shady microclimates that encourage moss and ivy. Slopes and stormwater runoff can stress roots and create uneven growth, while south-facing spots get more sun and need different pruning timing. Owners want tidy, safe plants that hold shape through wind and rain, reduce ongoing work, and look good for tenants or curb appeal.
Winter storms and seasonal growth spurts mean periodic shaping is needed to prevent hazards and maintain form. In areas near Seahurst Park and neighborhoods toward White Center, drainage and slope stability often affect how we trim and mulch. Sustainable methods — hand-pruning, careful crown thinning, organic mulch, and compost — help plants recover faster and keep your yard low-maintenance without herbicides.

Before & After / Expectations
After trimming, expect a few weeks of visible recovery as plants harden off; water only as needed. Watch for moss return in shady spots, manage ivy with hand-pulling, and refresh mulch annually to suppress weeds and retain moisture.
FAQs
