Burien Remove Diseased Branches
Homeowner’s Issue
Seattle-area moisture and Burien’s mild, wet winters make fungal and rot issues common in trees and large shrubs. Poor drainage on slopes, heavy soils in some yards, and shaded corners near fences or north-facing beds encourage moss, ivy regrowth, and branch decay. Homeowners and landlords often notice dead or hanging limbs after storms, blackened wood, or thinning canopies that invite pests.
Left unchecked, diseased branches can split, fall, or spread infection to healthy limbs, creating safety hazards and more expensive removals later. Many properties near Seahurst Park and the Highline area have older trees with crowded canopies that need careful selective pruning. Most owners want a safe, tidy yard that looks good year-round, drains properly, and needs little rainy-season fuss. Our guide focuses on simple, sustainable steps to remove diseased wood, reduce regrowth, and improve long-term tree health without herbicides — just clean cuts, sanitation, and organic site cleanup.
Our Quality Service
We assess disease vs. seasonal dieback, prune to sound wood, and sanitize tools between cuts to stop spread. Work is staged for safety on slopes and near structures, with branches removed, chipped, or composted on-site when practical. Benefits include improved safety, better curb appeal, and lower maintenance over time.
What’s Included
- Tree inspection and disease identification
- Pruning to healthy tissue and crown thinning where needed
- Debris chipping, composting, or haul-away options
- Cleanup of branches, leaves, and infected material
- Optional upgrades:
- Mulch + fabric for beds
- Organic, mechanical weed control (no herbicides)
- Green bin vs. haul-away disposal
Before & After / Expectations
After pruning expect short-term stress on the tree and fresh wounds that call for minimal aftercare. Water established trees in dry spells, monitor for re-sprouting of ivy or suckers, and remove moss mechanically from trunks/branches as needed. Recheck cuts in spring to ensure healthy regrowth.
