Burien Cemetery ground cover trimming
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien yards and cemetery plots face heavy winter rains, compact clay soils in places, steep slopes, and pockets of deep shade under mature trees. These conditions make ground cover grow fast in wet months and thin out where moss or erosion takes hold, creating bare patches and trip hazards. Many landlords and homeowners want tidy, low-maintenance plantings that reduce mowing, slow runoff on slopes, and limit ivy or blackberry regrowth without chemicals.
On sloped gravesites or terraces we see soil washing toward paths; in shaded corners moss and perennial weeds return quickly after a cut. Homeowners often ask for solutions that balance respect for memorial spaces with sustainable care—things like hand-weeding, targeted trimming, mulch to hold soil, and fabric under decorative mulch to limit regrowth. Close attention to drainage, root zones near headstones, and safe, non-invasive tools keeps sites accessible and dignified while cutting future upkeep.
Our Quality Service
We use mechanical trimming, hand-pruning, and manual removal to preserve root crowns and avoid soil disturbance. Work is timed for dry windows to reduce compaction and tied to slope and soil conditions to limit erosion.
Benefits:
- Improved safety and visibility for visitors.
- Better curb appeal and long-lasting, low-maintenance cover.
- Sustainable methods only: no herbicides, organic options, and composted mulch.
What’s Included
- Trim ground cover to uniform height and outline edges.
- Hand-weeding and moss removal in shaded areas.

Before & After / Expectations

- Ivy regrowth: cut and remove roots; follow-up visits reduce return rates.
