Burien Cut back ornamental flowers
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien yards face long, wet seasons, compacted glacial soils, and heavy shade from large evergreens. That combination can leave perennials leggy, beds full of moss, and drainage lines clogged after winter, especially on sloped sites or near runoff paths. Landlords and homeowners want tidy beds that don’t need constant attention: healthy plants, fewer weeds, and good drainage without relying on chemicals. Tenants and passersby notice unpruned clumps and seed heads that hide pests and make properties look neglected. Addressing these problems with careful timing and sustainable methods saves water, reduces repeat visits, and protects nearby green spaces like Seahurst Park and neighborhood strips toward White Center. A seasonal cutback that respects plant habits and local microclimates preserves blooms next year and keeps rental turnovers fast and presentable.
Our Quality Service
We prune spent blooms, thin crowded perennials, and clean beds using hand tools and clean-cut techniques suited to Burien’s rainy climate and compact soils. Work focuses on safety on slopes, improved runoff paths, and creating low-maintenance plant shapes. Results deliver safer entryways, stronger plants, and curb appeal that lasts through the rainy season.
What’s Included
- Selective pruning and deadheading of ornamental flowers
- Light thinning and shaping for airflow and sun penetration
- Bed cleanup and debris removal
- Fresh mulch (optional mulch + fabric)
- Organic weed control and manual removal
- Haul-away or green-bin composting options
Before & After / Expectations
After a cutback expect clearer borders, less moss, and fewer flowering snags that trap moisture. Water newly mulched beds sparingly through dry spells and pull early ivy regrowth by hand. For rentals, plan a spring cutback and a light fall trim to reduce seed spread.
