Burien Ornamental Pruning

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien yards face heavy winter rain, compacted marine soils, and mixed sun and deep shade from evergreen neighbors. Slopes toward Puget Sound or local streets can cause poor drainage and moss growth, while fast-growing ornamentals and ivy quickly become overgrown. Landlords and homeowners often want safer branches cleared, improved sightlines for tenants, and lower-maintenance beds that survive wet winters without chemical treatments. Sustainable pruning and light reshaping reduce excess growth, improve airflow, and help plants tolerate our cool, wet summers near Seahurst Park and Normandy Park. This keeps properties tidy, reduces runoff issues, and lowers long-term upkeep.

Our Quality Service

We prune using hand tools and selective cuts that respect plant health and local growth patterns. Work is chemical-free and focused on long-term structure, not short-term shaping. The result is safer branches, improved drainage, and a more attractive, resilient landscape that needs less frequent intervention.

What’s Included

  • Initial plant assessment and pruning plan.
  • Shaping, thinning, dead branch removal, and size management.
  • Cleanup and responsible green waste options.
  • Basic safety pruning for sightlines and walkways.

Optional upgrades:

  • Mulch + fabric installation for moisture retention.
  • Organic weed control and moss management.
  • Haul-away or green bin disposal.

Before & After / Expectations

After pruning expect better light penetration, reduced moss, and slower regrowth if mulched. Follow-up care: water new plantings in dry spells, pull persistent weeds by hand, and check for ivy regrowth annually.

FAQs

  • How long does a job take? Most residential pruning visits are 1–4 hours depending on plant size.
  • Do you use chemicals? No — we use sustainable, chemical-free methods only.
  • Is access required? We need clear access to beds and a short walk to a driveway or sidewalk for tools and green waste.
