Burien Low border hedge trimming

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien yards face heavy fall and winter rain, compacted clay-loam soils, and often limited sun on north-facing slopes. Low border hedges can get leggy, hold wet thatch, and obscure walkways or rental entryways. For landlords and homeowners, unmanaged hedges create extra repair work, invite moss and ivy regrowth, and reduce curb appeal for tenants or prospective buyers. Our guide focuses on practical, sustainable care to restore neat lines, improve drainage, and keep low-maintenance hedges that suit Burien’s microclimates and nearby spots like Seahurst Park and White Center.

Our Quality Service

We trim and reshape low hedges with hand and power tools chosen for plant health and minimal soil compaction. Work is scheduled around dry windows to reduce rutting and designed to improve sightlines, airflow, and surface drainage. Sustainable practices—mulch, compost-based soil improvements, and organic weed control—help hedges resist moss and pests without herbicides. Benefits include safer access, better curb appeal, lower ongoing maintenance, and longer-lived plants.

What’s Included

  • Initial site assessment and goal discussion
  • Precise trimming and shaping to maintain uniform borders
  • Edging around hedge bases and clean lines along paths
  • Debris removal with green-bin options or haul-away
  • Basic health check and soil/ mulch recommendations

Optional upgrades:

  • Mulch + fabric installation
  • Organic weed control (non-chemical)
  • Soil amendments and compost top-dress
  • Haul-away vs. green-bin disposal

Before & After / Expectations

After trimming expect cleaner sightlines, less surface water pooling, and an immediate curb appeal lift. Care tips:

  • Water young or newly-thinned hedges during dry spells.
  • Pull competing weeds and hand-remove moss where it reappears.
  • Watch for ivy regrowth at the base and remove roots promptly.

FAQs

  • How long does a standard trim take? Typically 1–3 hours depending on length and density.
  • Do you need full access? We need safe access around hedges; gate codes or keys can be arranged.
  • How often should hedges be serviced? Every 3–6 months for most properties; rentals often benefit from quarterly care.
  • Will you use chemicals? No — we use sustainable, non-chemical methods only.
