Burien Encourage stronger growth
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien yards see a lot of rain, heavy shade from cedar and fir, and compacted soils that hold water through winter and turn tight in summer. That combination leads to moss, shallow roots, and poor drainage on slopes and walkways. Renters and landlords often want low-maintenance yards that look tidy for showing, yet still handle heavy seasonal runoff and picky renter use.
Common local challenges we see: sloped front yards that shed soil onto sidewalks, shaded beds that never dry properly, and lawns with patchy moss where grass won’t take. Owners usually want safer walkways, healthier planting areas that need less week-to-week attention, and solutions that cut repeated expenses. Sustainable approaches — compost, aeration, mulch, manual weeding, and targeted native plantings — address these problems without herbicides. We tailor plans for each property so you get curb appeal, easier upkeep, and long-term improvement, whether you’re near Seahurst Park or close to SeaTac.

Before & After / Expectations
After service expect greener planting beds, fewer moss patches, and clearer edges. Maintain with light hand-weeding, periodic top-up of mulch, and watering young plants in dry spells. Watch for ivy regrowth in shade and pull early — it responds best to regular hand removal.
FAQs
- How long does a job take? Most cleanups finish in a half to full day for average yards; larger properties take longer.
- Do you use herbicides? No — we use sustainable methods only: manual removal, mulching, and organic amendments.
