Burien Spring Shrub Trimming
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien yards see long, cool wet seasons and a lot of tree cover, which creates shade, moss, and compacted soils that hide weak branches and drainage issues. Slopes and raised beds in older neighborhoods and rentals can collect debris and encourage ivy or moss to creep into shrubs, while coastal winds can leave branches broken or rubbing. Landlords and homeowners want tidy, safe plantings that reduce trips, pests, and tenant complaints, and renters need low‑maintenance landscaping that still looks cared for. We focus on pruning that improves airflow, clears sightlines for walkways, and shapes shrubs so they shed water better. Our approach supports healthy regrowth without chemicals — we use organic mulches, compost, and targeted hand‑pruning to keep shrubs robust through Burien’s rainy months and into the drier summer near Seahurst Park and the Highline area.
Our Quality Service
We prune for plant health, safety, and long-term structure using clean tools and sustainable methods. Work is staged to limit soil compaction, reduce resprouting of unwanted vines, and improve drainage on slopes.

Before & After / Expectations
