Burien Mondo grass trimming

Homeowner’s Issue

Mondo grass is a popular, low-growing groundcover in Burien that handles shade and coastal moisture well, but local winters and heavy rains can leave beds looking ragged. Many landlords and homeowners face patchy growth, moss invasion, and flattened runners after storms or on sloped sites near Seahurst Park and White Center microclimates. Compacted soils and poor drainage along driveways or building perimeters cause pooling that stresses plants and invites weeds.

Owners often want tidy beds that stay low-maintenance, reduce trip hazards, and look good for tenants or resale. Sustainable care focuses on mechanical trimming, light dethatching, and soil improvements rather than chemical herbicides. Addressing slope, sun/shade patterns, and proper edging preserves the plant’s health and reduces repeat visits. These steps keep Mondo functional as a durable, attractive groundcover that fits Burien yards and rental properties.

Our Quality Service

We trim, edge, and tidy Mondo beds using hand tools and light power tools to avoid root damage and erosion on slopes. Work includes raking, removing debris, and amending soil where drainage or compaction limits growth. We follow sustainable practices only — no herbicides — and favor organic mulch and compost to build healthier soil.

Benefits include improved safety, better curb appeal for tenants, reduced maintenance needs, and longer-lasting results that stand up to Burien’s wet winters and summer sun.

What’s Included

  • Assessment of growth, soil, slope, and drainage.
  • Hand or light power trimming to restore uniform height.
  • Clean edging along paths, beds, and hardscape.
  • Raking and removal of clippings; tidy finish.

Optional upgrades:

  • Mulch + landscape fabric (where appropriate).
  • Organic weed control and manual weed removal.
  • Soil amendments and compost top-dress.
  • Haul-away of green waste vs. curbside green bin disposal.

Before & After / Expectations

Expect a neater bed and clearer edges immediately after service, with modest regrowth in 6–10 weeks during the growing season. For moss and weeds, repeat light cleanings and improved drainage help prevent recurrence. If ivy or aggressive runners return, periodic spot-pruning keeps them contained. Water newly amended areas sparingly; Mondo prefers consistent, light moisture.

FAQs

  • How long will a job take? Small beds: 30–90 minutes; larger areas or steep slopes take longer.
  • Do you use chemicals? No — we use sustainable, non-chemical methods only.
  • Can you work on rental properties? Yes — we coordinate access and schedules to minimize tenant disruption.
  • How often should trimming happen? Quarterly is typical; high-visibility rentals may need monthly or bi-monthly visits.
