Burien Spring Structural Pruning
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien yards face long, wet winters and short, mild summers. Heavy seasonal rain and compacted soils can make trees top-heavy and shrubs prone to moss and rot. Many properties sit on slopes or small hills, which changes drainage and creates extra risk for storm-damaged branches. Shade from maples and evergreens slows undergrowth drying, while sunnier slopes near Seahurst Park can stress drought-sensitive plants in summer.
Homeowners and landlords often want safer trees, better curb appeal, and less time spent on weekly upkeep. Structural pruning in spring reduces crowded branches, lowers hazards over walkways and roofs, and directs growth away from fences and power lines. We focus on sustainable, hands-on methods—clean cutting, selective thinning, and mulching—to improve plant health without chemicals. That means stronger plants that need fewer visits and give you the tidy, low-maintenance yard you want.
Our Quality Service
We assess each tree and shrub with local weather, slope, and soil in mind. Pruning is done using industry standard cuts and hand tools where possible to limit soil compaction and collateral damage. All work follows sustainable practices—no herbicides, organic weed control options, and mulching to feed soil life.
What’s Included
- Initial health and risk assessment
- Structural pruning: deadwood removal, selective thinning, and shaping
- Debris removal or green bin/haul-away options
- Basic bed edging and light weeding
- Optional upgrades: mulch + landscape fabric, organic weed control, or planting
Before & After / Expectations
After pruning, expect improved sight lines, fewer falling branches, and quicker drying after rain. For the first season: water new cuts into dry spells, watch for moss or ivy regrowth, and hand-pull seedlings. Recheck weak regrowth in 6–12 months; small corrective trims keep structure strong.
FAQs
- How long does a job take? Most yard-scale pruning is 2–6 hours; time varies with size and slope.
- Do you need access to water or power? No power required for hand pruning; water access helpful for mulching and cleanup.
- How often should I prune? Annual light pruning or a full structural prune every 3–5 years works for most yards.
