Burien Public park shrub trimming

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien gets a lot of rain, mild temperatures, and shaded pockets under evergreen trees, which means shrubs can go from tidy to overgrown fast. Heavy soil and slopes near Seahurst Park or edging neighborhoods like White Center create drainage and erosion challenges that make pruning and shaping more than a cosmetic job. Overgrown shrubs block sightlines, trap moisture against foundations, and invite moss or ivy to creep in. Landlords and homeowners want safe, attractive beds that need fewer visits, reduce tenant complaints, and stand up to winter storms. The goal is to balance plant health with visibility and easy upkeep using sustainable, non-chemical methods — composting clippings, targeted pruning, and mulching to reduce weeds and retain moisture. Doing the right cut at the right time keeps plants vigorous, lowers recurring work, and improves curb appeal for rentals or community spaces.

Our Quality Service

We prune and shape with attention to local rain patterns, slope stability, and soil compaction. Work is done to encourage healthy growth, improve sightlines, and reduce maintenance needs while composting green waste whenever possible.

Benefits:

  • Safer walkways and sightlines for tenants and visitors.
  • Improved curb appeal and longer-lasting plant health.
  • Lower maintenance and fewer visits over time.

What’s Included

  • Site assessment and pruning plan.
  • Selective pruning and shaping for structure and visibility.
  • Debris collection and composting or green-bin disposal.
  • Bed edging and light weeding.

Optional upgrades:

  • Mulch + landscape fabric for long-term weed suppression.
  • Organic weed control (hand-pulling, flame weeding where safe).
  • Haul-away for large debris loads vs. green-bin disposal.

Before & After / Expectations

After a trim expect cleaner sightlines and reduced shelter for pests. Plan for seasonal follow-up: spring shaping and a fall tidy. In Burien, watch for moss return in shaded beds, and expect ivy to regrow from roots—repeat spot removal and mulching help control it.

FAQs

  • How long does a job take? Small park beds are a few hours; larger areas depend on density and access.
  • Do you use herbicides? No. We use physical, organic, and cultural controls only.
  • What access do you need? Clear vehicle access for tools and a short hose or water source for clean-up.
  • How often should shrubs be trimmed? Typically every 3–6 months, adjusted for species and growth.
