Burien Yew shrub trimming
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien’s mild, wet climate and dense shade in many yards encourage steady yew growth, moss, and occasional root-surface problems. Heavy winter rains and compacted clay pockets can create poor drainage around foundation plantings and make overgrown yews crowd walkways or windows. Landlords and homeowners often want tidy, safe shrubs that don’t need constant attention — especially properties near Seahurst Park or Normandy Park where city inspections and curb appeal matter. Our guide helps you balance pruning, sustainable disposal, and low-maintenance choices suited to local soils, slopes, and sun/shade patterns.
Our Quality Service
We prune to improve plant health and sightlines while using only sustainable practices — hand-pruning, clean cuts, and proper timing to avoid stressing plants. Work includes careful shaping to reduce wind damage on slopes and targeted thinning to help air circulate in damp microclimates. Benefits include improved safety, long-lasting structure, lower maintenance needs, and better curb appeal that supports rental readiness and resale value.
What’s Included
- Assessment of size, health, and drainage issues
- Selective pruning to encourage healthy growth and shape
- Debris removal, sweeping, and edging around beds
- Cleanup and disposal: haul-away or green bin options
Optional upgrades:
- Mulch + landscape fabric for moisture retention
- Organic weed control and hand-weeding
- Composting clippings for soil improvement
Before & After / Expectations
After pruning, expect improved sightlines and less leaf litter for several months. Water new cuts lightly during dry spells, keep mulch 2–3” away from trunks, and monitor for ivy or moss returning. Yews typically respond quickly; a light follow-up visit in 6–12 weeks can tidy regrowth.
FAQs
- How long does a job take? Small properties often finish in 1–3 hours; larger hedges vary by size.
- Do you use herbicides? No — we use only sustainable, non-chemical methods like manual removal and organic controls.
- Will trimming harm my yews? Not when done properly; we prune selectively to preserve structure and encourage healthy regrowth.
- How do you dispose of clippings? Choose haul-away or green-bin/compost options; we’ll confirm at booking.
