Burien Prune branches over sidewalks
Homeowner’s Issue
Overgrown branches hanging over sidewalks are a common problem around Burien, especially after our long, wet winters and fast spring growth. Poor soil structure in some yards plus shaded, moss-prone areas near Seahurst Park and denser lots toward White Center mean trees can lean, drop limbs, or block sight lines. Low branches create safety hazards for pedestrians, delivery drivers, and tenants, and they speed up moss and ivy growth under the canopy. Landlords and homeowners often want safe, tidy walkways without creating high‑maintenance landscapes or using harsh chemicals. Sustainable pruning and proper cleanup solve most problems while keeping yards low-maintenance and resilient through the rainy season.

Before & After / Expectations
