Burien Mint bed trimming
Homeowner’s Issue
Mint is lovely — until it isn’t. In Burien’s wet, mild climate and shady yards under tall evergreens, mint spreads rapidly, crowds roots, and creates soggy patches where moss loves to grow. Heavy soils and small slopes near the Sound or local hills can hold water against foundations or paths, and renters or busy homeowners often want neat, low‑maintenance beds that don’t keep coming back for attention.
Common owner goals are containment, better drainage, and a tidy look that reduces slip risks and turnover time for rentals. Sustainable practices — hand pruning, mulching, and targeted soil improvement — control mint without chemicals, cut maintenance visits, and keep beds productive for cooking or tea.
Our Quality Service
We assess beds for slope, soil texture, and shade before trimming. We prune and edge to contain mint, add organic mulch or fabric where appropriate, and adjust planting to reduce standing water.
Benefits include improved safety on walkways, stronger curb appeal for rentals or sales, and lower maintenance needs thanks to better drainage and long‑lasting organic mulch.
What’s Included
- Assessment of soil, shade, and slope
- Trimming and selective thinning of mint stems
- Clean edging and bed definition
- Hand weeding and organic mulch application
- Disposal via haul‑away or green‑bin recycling
Optional upgrades:
- Mulch + landscape fabric for persistent runners
- Soil amendments (compost) to improve drainage
- Organic weed control (manual removal, mulching)
- Planting companion herbs or low‑maintenance borders
Before & After / Expectations
After trimming, expect fresh regrowth in 2–6 weeks. Keep beds mulched and pull runners early; in shady corners watch for moss and ivy regrowth. Water lightly only during dry spells — Burien’s rains usually keep mint happy.
