Burien Cut back overgrown shrubs
Homeowner’s Issue
In Burien the steady marine climate and frequent fall and winter rains mean shrubs can put on a lot of growth fast, trap moss, and hide drainage problems; heavy canopy from maples and firs creates patchy sun and shade, and many yards sit on gentle slopes that make pruning and cleanup trickier. Soil in our area can be compacted in urban lots or shallow over glacial till, so cutting improperly risks stress and regrowth from old wood — landlords need tidy, low-maintenance plants that don’t compete with foundations or block sightlines. Renters and homeowners want safe walkways, quick curb appeal for listings, and sustainable care that avoids herbicides; near Seahurst Park and Normandy Park we also watch for native plant edges and wildlife habitat when we trim. Our work focuses on steady, sustainable pruning that keeps shrubs healthy and manageable between services.
Our Quality Service
We prune to plant health, thinning for air flow, and shaping for long-term structure while preserving wildlife cover where appropriate. Work is done with hand tools and electric gear to reduce noise and emissions, and we avoid herbicides — just clean cuts, organic mulch, and natural compost where needed. Benefits include safer sightlines, better curb appeal, less recurring maintenance, and longer-lasting shrubs.
What’s Included
- On-site assessment and pruning plan.
- Thinning, deadwood removal, and shaping.

Before & After / Expectations
After pruning expect a few weeks of denser regrowth from vigorous species and reduced moss in better-drained areas. Water new cuts in dry spells, reapply mulch annually, and monitor ivy or winter annuals that like shaded Burien yards.
