Burien One-time overgrowth cutback
Homeowner’s Issue
Wet winters and mild summers make Burien yards quick to overgrow, especially with invasive ivy and blackberry after a few rainy seasons. Many homes near Seahurst Park or the White Center border have shaded slopes, compacted clay soils, and hidden drainage issues that hide tripping hazards and block sightlines.
Landlords and homeowners often want low-maintenance results: reduce repeat visits, improve curb appeal, and remove fire or pest risks without harsh chemicals. A single, focused cutback addresses weeds, overgrown shrubs, and messy beds so yards are safer and easier to manage between regular maintenance.
Our Quality Service
We use sustainable, manual, and mechanical methods suited to Burien’s rain and slope conditions—hand-pruning, selective thinning, and strategic mulching to reduce erosion. Benefits include improved safety, boosted curb appeal, lower ongoing upkeep, and longer-lasting plant health.
What’s Included
- Initial site assessment and plant-by-plant plan
- Pruning and selective thinning of shrubs and small trees
- Hedge trimming, bed edging, and weeding (manual)
- Raking and tidy-up of clippings
- Mulch application (if requested)
Optional upgrades:

Before & After / Expectations
Expect clearer sightlines, less immediate regrowth, and a neat bed edge for weeks to months depending on species. Aftercare tips:
- Water new mulch lightly to settle it, then sparingly.
- Pull seedlings early; moss thrives in compacted, shaded spots—improve drainage and sunlight where possible.
- Ivy and blackberry need repeated removal the first season.
