Burien Prune branches near chimneys
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien’s heavy winter rains, gusty wind and moss-friendly shade create common problems where overhanging branches meet chimneys and roofs. Wet wood and leaf build-up near a flue can block ventilation, hold moisture against roofing, and increase fire risk or rot — especially on properties with slopes or tight setbacks common around Lake Burien and Seahurst Park.
Homeowners and landlords often want a low-maintenance yard that still preserves mature trees, limits ladder time, and avoids repeated cleanup after storms. Good pruning balances safety and tree health: it clears a safe working distance from chimneys, reduces wind-driven limb failures, and trims crowns to improve sunlight and drying after rain. Sustainable pruning and careful debris handling give you safer ventilation, better curb appeal, and fewer repeat visits.
Our Quality Service
We prune to industry best practices that protect tree structure and home safety while avoiding chemicals. Work is timed for minimal impact to wildlife and uses hand and mechanical pruning techniques suited to wet soils and sloped sites. Debris is removed or composted, and we recommend mulching and organic weed control to reduce future maintenance.
What’s Included
- Site assessment and chimney clearance measurement.
- Selective branch pruning and crown thinning.
- Debris haul-away or green‑bin/compost options.
- Optional upgrades: mulch + fabric, organic weed control, replanting suggestions.
Before & After / Expectations
After pruning you’ll see improved airflow and drier rooflines within days. Expect some epicormic (sucker) regrowth in the first season; plan a light follow-up trim in 6–12 months. Keep gutters clear and monitor ivy or ivy-like regrowth at the base of trees.
FAQs
- How long does a job take? Small homes same‑day, larger trees may take a few hours to a day.
