Burien Pre-sale garden trimming
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien yards face a mix of challenges: steady winter rain, compacted glacial soils, and many properties on slopes or with poor surface drainage. North- and west-facing yards around Seahurst Park and higher lots get limited direct sun, which encourages moss and dense groundcover; meanwhile sunnier corners can dry out and need different trimming and mulching choices. Landlords and homeowners preparing to sell want tidy, safe yards that look low-maintenance to buyers without inviting a lot of follow-up work. That means addressing visible overgrowth, roots or ivy near foundations, untidy hedges blocking sightlines, and standing water in beds or along walkways. Sustainable practices—mechanical pruning, hand-weeding, organic mulches, and improved soil drainage—solve appearance and performance problems while avoiding herbicides. We focus on the specific microclimates and soil on your property to balance curb appeal, safety, and long-term ease of care for rentals or resale.
Our Quality Service
We trim, prune, edge, and mulch with Burien’s rain patterns and soils in mind. Work is done to reduce trip hazards, improve sightlines, and set plants up to need less follow-up care. Sustainable choices keep runoff and chemical use low and help plants re-establish faster.
What’s Included
- Shrub and hedge shaping; removal of dead growth

Before & After / Expectations
After service expect cleaner lines, fewer trip hazards, and reduced moss or ivy regrowth for several months. For best results: water new mulch lightly in dry spells, clear gutters to reduce bed-splash, and spot-pull re-sprouting ivy or deep-rooted weeds within 2–3 months.
