Burien Post-bloom trimming
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien yards face a mix of heavy winter rainfall, compact clay-silt soils, and pockets of shade from maples and firs that encourage moss and ivy regrowth. Slopes toward Puget Sound and small drainage challenges near gutters or downspouts can leave beds waterlogged or wash mulch away. For landlords and homeowners near Seahurst Park or Lake Burien, common goals are tidy curb appeal, durable low-maintenance beds for tenants, and safe sightlines for driveways and walkways. Post-bloom trimming addresses spent flowers and overgrowth that trap moisture, reduces disease pressure, and prevents plants from setting invasive seed. Using sustainable, non-chemical practices keeps beds healthier year-round and reduces time spent between maintenance visits.
Our Quality Service
We prune spent blooms and shape shrubs with plant-safe cuts timed for each species, avoiding hard cuts during stress periods. Work includes debris removal and simple grading to improve drainage on gentle slopes, all with sustainable practices—no herbicides.
What’s Included
- Assessment of plants, slope, and drainage
- Deadheading and selective pruning of perennials and shrubs
- Cleanup and bed edging for improved curb appeal
- Light regrading and mulch refresh (optional)
Optional upgrades:
- Mulch + landscape fabric installation
- Organic weed control (non-chemical)

Before & After / Expectations
After trimming, expect neater beds, fewer seed heads, and quicker drying after rain. New growth can appear within 2–4 weeks in active perennials and shrubs.
Care tips:
- Water deeply only if dry for two weeks
- Pull small weeds early; moss benefits from improved light and aeration
- Monitor ivy regrowth on shaded north-facing walls
