Burien Privet hedge trimming

Homeowner’s Issue

Privet hedges in Burien face a mix of heavy winter rain, mild summers, and soil that can be compacted or clay-heavy on slopes. That combination encourages fast, leggy growth, moss at the base, and ivy or weed encroachment — especially near properties bordering Seahurst Park and Highline corridors. Homeowners and landlords often want tidy sightlines, safe walkways, and low-maintenance borders that stand up to our wet climate and occasional slope runoff. Goals usually include improving curb appeal, limiting regrowth frequency, and reducing debris that clogs drains. Sustainable pruning and regular cleanup address these issues without herbicides, relying on selective cuts, mulching, and organic weed control to keep hedges healthy and low-effort.

Our Quality Service

We prune for structure and health, removing dead wood and thinning to improve air flow while shaping to your preferred look. Work is timed for the plant’s recovery and Seattle-area weather windows to avoid wet-damage and rapid regrowth. Benefits include improved safety, consistent curb appeal, reduced long-term maintenance, and longer-lasting hedges that resist pests and disease.

What’s Included

  • Assessment of hedge health, size, and site conditions
  • Pruning and shaping with professional tools
  • Debris removal and tidy site cleanup
  • Optional upgrades: mulch + fabric, organic weed control, stump/hardscape trimming
  • Disposal options: haul-away or green bin drop-off

Before & After / Expectations

After a trim expect fuller regrowth in spring; plan light maintenance trims yearly or twice a season for a clean look. Water newly exposed roots lightly during dry spells, pull moss and ivy by hand, and refresh mulch to suppress weeds. Organic approaches minimize chemical use and support local pollinators.

FAQs

  • How long does a job take?
    Small hedges: 1–2 hours. Larger runs: half- to full-day depending on access and volume.
  • Do you use herbicides?
    No — we use sustainable methods only: hand-weeding, mulching, and organic controls.
  • Can you haul away clippings?
    Yes — choose haul-away or green bin disposal at booking.
  • How often should I trim?
    Most Burien hedges do well with 1–2 trims per year; high-visibility properties may need quarterly visits.
