Burien Trim shrubs for camera/doorbell visibility

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien’s mix of heavy winter rain, dappled summer sun, and dense street trees creates yards that can grow fast and uneven. Shrubs planted near porches and entryways often thicken into blind spots for doorbells and cameras within one or two seasons. Compacted soils, sloped lots, and moss-prone lawns near Seahurst Park and parts of White Center slow water infiltration and encourage dense, leggy growth that hides devices.

Homeowners and landlords want reliable visibility, tidy curb appeal, and low upkeep between tenants or seasons. The goal is to open sight lines without stressing plants or using harsh chemicals. Sustainable pruning, strategic thinning, and thoughtful shaping give clear camera angles, reduce maintenance needs, and help shrubs recover quickly after cuts. We focus on practices that work with local soil, slope, and shade so your security stays effective and your landscape stays healthy.

Our Quality Service

We prune and thin to create sight lines while protecting plant health and slope stability. Work is done with hand tools and battery trimmers to reduce noise and emissions. We prioritize:

• Sustainable practices (no herbicides; organic weed control on request)
• Managing runoff on slopes and compacted soils
• Minimizing disturbance to native pollinators

Benefits: improved safety, better curb appeal, easier seasonal upkeep, and longer-lasting plant health.

What’s Included

• Assessment of sight lines and problematic growth
• Selective trimming and shaping for camera/doorbell visibility
• Light thinning to improve airflow and dry foliage faster after rain
• Cleanup and either green‑bin disposal or hauled-away debris
• Optional upgrades: mulch + fabric, organic weed control, gravel refresh

Before & After / Expectations

• Water new cuts lightly in dry spells; heavy rain helps recovery in winter.
• Expect some leaf drop for 1–2 weeks; full regrowth takes a season.
• Watch for moss and ivy regrowth; we offer organic controls and mulch to suppress return.

FAQs

• How long does a job take? Small entryways: 30–90 minutes. Larger beds: 2–4 hours.
• Do you use herbicides? No — we use sustainable, non‑chemical methods only.
• Can you remove the debris? Yes — choose green‑bin composting or haul‑away.
• When is best to trim? Late spring to early fall for most shrubs; we advise timing per species.
