Burien Ornamental Grass Trimming

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien yards face a few recurring challenges: long, wet winters, compacted coastal soils, and heavy shade in sheltered corners. Ornamental grasses left untrimmed trap moisture and debris, invite moss, and can hide slippery slopes or edging hazards.

Many properties in and around Seahurst Park and the north-facing hills need attention to drainage and slope stability as much as neatness. Landlords and homeowners want tidy beds that reduce tenant calls, lower maintenance time, and keep walkways safe without relying on chemical treatments.

Our approach focuses on the realities here — frequent rain, clay pockets, and mixed sun/shade — so trimming schedules and cleanup strategies are tailored to minimize erosion, suppress moss mechanically, and support healthier regrowth.

Our Quality Service

We trim with sharp tools, remove dead crowns, and shape clumps to restore airflow and light penetration. Cleanup is thorough: we haul clippings, rake edges, and leave beds ready for mulch or planting.

Everything we do uses sustainable practices: hand-pruning, compostable mulches, fabric where helpful, and no herbicides. That protects soil life and keeps maintenance simple for landlords and busy homeowners.

What’s Included

  • Assessment and timing recommendations for seasonal trimming
  • Cutting back dead growth and thinning dense clumps
  • Edging beds and paths for clean sightlines
  • Debris removal with options for haul-away or green bin disposal
  • Optional mulch + landscape fabric installation
  • Optional organic weed control and planting refreshes

Before & After / Expectations

After trimming, expect a neater silhouette, better airflow, and less moss in shaded areas. New growth will appear in weeks; grasses often need a light follow-up the first season.

Care tips:

  • Water deeply but infrequently in summer to encourage roots.
  • Pull seedlings and ivy by hand to prevent re-establishment.
  • Refresh mulch annually to suppress weeds and retain moisture.

FAQs

  • How long does a typical job take? Most single-yard trims are 1–3 hours depending on size and clump density. We give an estimated window in the quote.
  • Will trimming damage my grasses? Proper seasonal cutting promotes health; we avoid cutting back too early or too late for local conditions.
  • Do you use pesticides? No — we use organic and mechanical methods only, no herbicides.
  • Can you handle rental properties? Yes — we schedule regular visits and tailor service cadences to tenant turnover.
