Burien Public park plant trimming
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien yards and small public spaces face damp winters, acidic soils, and shady slopes that encourage moss and vigorous groundcover. Heavy rainfall and compacted soils can create drainage problems and root stress on shrubs and street trees. Landlords and homeowners often want tidy, safe landscapes that require less hands‑on care and fewer visits between maintenance cycles. Our local work balances aesthetics with sustainable methods to reduce repeat problems and support neighborhood ecology, including areas near Seahurst Park and Normandy Park.
Our Quality Service
We trim, prune, and shape plants with techniques suited to Burien’s wet climate and sloped lots. Work focuses on improving airflow, daylight to understory plants, and safe sightlines along paths and streets. Sustainable practices — hand trimming, composted mulch, native plant selection, and no herbicides — keep landscapes healthy while reducing run‑off and long‑term upkeep.
What’s Included
- Pruning of shrubs and small trees; removal of deadwood
