Burien Prune branches over roofs
Homeowner’s Issue
Seattle’s marine climate means lots of rain, wind, and seasonal storms that encourage fast branch growth and moss buildup on roofs. Many Burien properties sit on small slopes or have compacted soils that weaken roots and steer branches toward homes, creating leaks, gutter clogs, and increased roof wear. Dense shade from neighboring evergreens and maples keeps moss and debris on shingles longer, and rental turnover or busy homeowners often delay small pruning tasks until they become hazards. Landlords and homeowners want safe, low-maintenance yards that reduce liability, protect roof warranties, and cut down on frequent cleanups. In areas near Seahurst Park or Boulevard Park, wind-driven limbs are common; addressing them with sustainable pruning and clean disposal keeps gutters flowing, reduces moss pressure, and keeps tenants and guests safer. The goal is a tidy canopy that lets light in, sheds rain properly, and lasts with minimal follow-up.
Our Quality Service
We assess canopy risk, prune to clear rooflines, and clean up debris using hand tools and responsibly timed cuts. Work is scheduled for dry windows to reduce moss spread and to protect roots in wet soils. Benefits include improved safety, better curb appeal, lower long-term maintenance, and durable results that fit rental or homeowner needs.
What’s Included
- Onsite assessment and roofline pruning.
- Branch removal, gutter clearing, and debris haul-away.
- Crown thinning and selective limb reduction to improve light and airflow.
- Site cleanup and raking.
Optional upgrades:
- Mulch + fabric installation.
- Organic, non-chemical weed control and hand-weeding.
- Haul-away vs. green-bin disposal options.
Before & After / Expectations
After pruning, expect more light on your roof, fewer clogged gutters, and less moss growth. Water newly exposed areas lightly for two weeks if roots were disturbed, and watch for ivy or suckers — hand-pull regrowth early. Annual checks keep small problems from becoming big ones.
FAQs
- How long will a job take? Small jobs (single tree over roof) are a few hours; multi-tree properties may take a day.
