Burien Monthly Plant Trimming Service

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien yards face a mix of heavy winter rain, mild summers, and compacted glacial soils that hold moisture and encourage moss. Many properties on slopes or near Seahurst Park struggle with drainage, shallow-rooted shrubs, and invasive ivy or blackberry that can quickly overtake beds. Shade patterns from mature maple and conifer can leave some areas lush and others bare, making consistent pruning and light management essential.

Landlords and homeowners want durable, low-maintenance landscapes that look tidy between tenants or through Seattle’s wet seasons. Monthly trims prevent overgrowth, reduce slip hazards on steps and walkways, and keep sightlines clear for safety. We focus on sustainable, non-chemical methods—manual pruning, mulching, compost, and targeted thinning—to promote long-term health and reduce time spent on upkeep.

Our Quality Service

We tailor each monthly visit to your site conditions, addressing slope, drainage, and sun/shade requirements so plants thrive in place. Work is done with hand-pruning, sharpening shears, and selective thinning to improve air flow and reduce fungal disease in wet months. We prioritize sustainable practices—organic mulch, compost top-ups, and manual weed removal—no herbicides.

Benefits include enhanced curb appeal, safer walkways, lower maintenance needs, and longer-lived plants that withstand Burien’s rainy winters and mild summers.

What’s Included

  • Trimming and pruning of shrubs, hedges, and small trees.
  • Edging of lawns and flower beds for clean lines.
  • Hand-weeding and ivy control using sustainable methods.
  • Mulch application and soil topping with organic material.
  • Clean-up and green waste haul-away or green bin disposal.

Optional upgrades:

  • Mulch + landscape fabric for long-term weed suppression.
  • Organic weed control and compost tea soil conditioning.
  • Gravel path or decorative stone installation.
  • Haul-away vs. green bin disposal options.

Before & After / Expectations

After the first visit you’ll notice clearer sightlines, neater bed edges, and less debris. Expect new growth to appear within weeks and reduced regrowth of ivy with repeat removals. For care between visits, lightly water new plantings in summer, pull small weeds early, and replenish organic mulch annually to suppress moss and retain moisture.

FAQs

  • How long does a typical visit take? Most monthly trims for a standard yard take 1–3 hours depending on size and growth.
  • Do you use herbicides? No — we use only sustainable, non-chemical methods like manual removal and organic mulches.
  • What if you encounter drainage or slope erosion? We recommend simple fixes like additional mulch, planting for erosion control, or referring to a drainage specialist if needed.
  • Can you work around tenants’ schedules? Yes — we coordinate timing to suit tenants and property managers.
