Burien Monthly Shrub Trimming Service

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien yards face a mix of heavy winter rain, mild summers, and variable sun exposure — conditions that speed growth, encourage moss, and hide drainage problems. Many homes sit on gentle slopes or near dense canopy in areas around Seahurst Park and Normandy Park, which creates uneven light and pockets of soggy soil that stress shrubs and invite overgrowth. Landlords and homeowners often want tidy, safe edges for tenants and better curb appeal for listings, but frequent pruning is time-consuming and easy to miss in wet months. Overgrown shrubs can block walkways, hide sightlines, and trap moisture against foundations, increasing maintenance costs. Monthly shrub care focused on sustainable practices — careful pruning, hand-weeding, mulching, and green-waste removal — keeps plants healthy, reduces pest habitat, and prevents the root crowding that creates long-term problems. This service is designed to match local microclimates and owner goals: neat presentation for rental turnover, low-maintenance plantings for busy homeowners, and environmentally sound methods that avoid herbicides.

Our Quality Service

We tailor monthly shrub trimming to Burien’s rainy climate, compact soils, and shaded pockets by using pruning strategies that improve air flow and reduce rot. Work includes selective thinning, shaping for visibility and access, and soil-friendly mulch to retain moisture without compaction. The result is safer walkways, improved curb appeal, lower ongoing maintenance, and longer-lasting plant health through sustainable, chemical-free methods.

What’s Included

• Initial assessment of shrub health and site-specific needs
• Monthly trimming and shaping to maintain size and sightlines
• Hand weeding and debris removal
• Edge tidying around shrub beds and walkways
• Mulch refresh (as agreed) to conserve moisture and suppress weeds

Optional upgrades:

• Mulch + landscape fabric for high-weed areas
• Organic weed control (mechanical/organic methods only)
• Planting replacements or seasonal refreshes
• Haul-away vs. green bin disposal for clippings

Before & After / Expectations

After the first visit expect cleaner sightlines, reduced leaf litter, and firmer bed edges; plants will look groomed but not over-sheared. Monthly visits maintain form and discourage rapid regrowth that leads to repeated heavy cuts.
Care tips for Burien yards:

• Water only during dry spells; established shrubs need less summer water than new plants.
• Pull moss and weeds by hand in shaded spots; avoid spraying.
• Watch for ivy regrowth on fences and trunks — remove new runners early to prevent reinfestation.

FAQs

• How long does a typical visit take?
  Most residential visits take 1–3 hours depending on yard size and complexity.

• Can you access tight or sloped yards?
  Yes. We plan equipment and safety measures for slopes and narrow access; let us know gates or restrictions.

  No. We use best-practice pruning techniques tailored to each species to promote healthy regrowth.

• How do you dispose of clippings?
