Burien Holiday Season Yard Prep Trim

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien yards face a mix of heavy rain, clay and compacted soils, salt air near the Sound, and steep slopes that channel stormwater. Low winter sun and dense canopy in parts of town — especially near Seahurst Park and older West Hill landscapes — mean moss, ivy, and shade-loving weeds spread quickly. Renters and landlords want tidy, safe properties that don’t require constant attention but still survive soggy winters. Typical goals are clear: reduce slip hazards on paths, cut back overgrown shrubs that block sightlines, improve drainage on slopes, and prepare beds to reduce spring cleanup. Sustainable, low-to-no-chemical methods—like proper pruning, organic mulch, native plant choices, and manual or mechanical weed control—work best here. We focus on solutions that lower maintenance, protect soil structure, and keep your property looking cared-for through holidays and into spring.

Our Quality Service

We assess sun, soil, slope, and drainage, then prune, edge, and mulch to reduce winter problems. Work is done with hand tools and electric/corded equipment where possible to cut emissions and protect plants. Benefits include improved safety, curb appeal, and less maintenance in spring.

What’s Included

  • Targeted pruning of shrubs and small trees
  • Edging beds and walkways
  • Hand-weeding and debris removal
  • Organic mulch application (2”–3”)
  • Clearing drains and improving slope flow
    Optional upgrades:
  • Mulch + landscape fabric
  • Organic compost top-dress
  • Haul-away or green-bin disposal

Before & After / Expectations

After service expect cleaner lines, reduced moss buildup, and mulch that protects roots through winter. Water young or newly planted natives only during dry spells; remove ivy regrowth by hand early spring. Plan a follow-up check after heavy storms.

FAQs

  • How long does it take? Most standard yards: 2–4 hours; larger or slope work may take longer.
  • Do you use herbicides? No — we use sustainable, non-chemical practices only.
  • Will you haul green waste? Yes, choose haul-away or green-bin disposal at booking.
  • Do you need access to water? For mulching and settling beds, a hose or onsite water is helpful.
