Burien Peach Tree Pruning
Homeowner’s Issue
Peach trees in Burien face wet winters, frequent spring rain, and compacted soils that hold moisture longer than inland yards. Many properties sit on gentle slopes toward Puget Sound or near Seahurst Park, creating drainage challenges and moss-prone lawns. Afternoon sun can be limited by taller evergreens, so pruning must balance light exposure with wind and storm safety. Landlords and homeowners often want reliable fruit, tidy trees for tenant safety, and low-maintenance care that minimizes repeat visits. Sustainable methods matter here — compost, mulching, and clean pruning tools keep trees healthy without chemical inputs. Proper pruning reduces broken limbs, improves airflow to cut moss and fungal risk, and helps fruit ripen more evenly in our cooler, cloudier summers.
Our Quality Service
We assess trees on-site, prune for structure and fruiting, and clean up debris responsibly. Work is timed for late winter or early spring to avoid heavy sap flow and to encourage strong new growth. We use hand tools and ladders to limit damage, and we favor mulches and organic amendments to improve local soils and drainage. Benefits include improved safety, better curb appeal, lower ongoing maintenance, and longer-lived trees.
What’s Included
- Assessment of structure and disease symptoms
- Removal of dead, rubbing, or crossing branches
- Thinning to increase light and airflow
- Shaping for fruit production and size control
- Site cleanup and optional haul-away or green‑bin disposal
Optional upgrades:
- Mulch + landscape fabric for weed control and moisture retention
- Organic weed control and compost top-dressing
- Haul-away vs. green bin disposal
Before & After / Expectations
After pruning expect clearer branch structure, fewer shaded interiors, and a season of stronger fruit set. Care tips: water during dry summer stretches, remove moss manually, pull perennial weeds by hand, and watch for ivy regrowth around trunks. Mulch keeps roots cool and reduces sprouting.
