Burien Winter grass cutback

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien yards face long, wet winters with frequent overcast days, heavy rains, and runoff from local slopes near Seahurst Park. Compacted or clay‑heavy soils and shaded corners under cedars or maples hold moisture, encouraging moss, slow grass growth, and seedling weeds. Renters and landlords often want low-maintenance, tidy properties that are safe for tenants and show well for inspections or listings. A targeted winter cutback reduces bulky thatch, improves drainage, and limits places where leaves and debris trap pests. For property managers in White Center and nearby neighborhoods, a winter clean keeps shared walkways clear, prevents slip hazards, and limits costly spring rehab.

Our Quality Service

We use hand‑sensitive mowing, tidy edging, and careful debris removal to reduce winter rot and standing water that invite moss. All work emphasizes sustainable practices — hand weeding, organic weed control, mulching, and green waste recycling — no herbicides. Benefits include improved safety, curb appeal, easier spring cleanup, and longer‑lasting results.

What’s Included

  • Lawn mowing to recommended winter height
  • Crisp edging of paths and driveways
  • Hand weeding and mechanical dethatching
  • Debris and leaf removal, plus broom/blower finish
  • Green‑waste haul‑away or curbside green‑bin disposal

Optional upgrades:

  • Mulch + fabric for beds
  • Organic weed control (non‑chemical)
  • Soil testing and topdressing

Before & After / Expectations

After service expect cleaner sightlines, reduced moss spots, and fewer weeds in spring. Follow these care tips:

  • Water only when dry and above 40°F for established lawns.
  • Rake moss and thin shade areas in early spring.
  • Pull ivy and perennial weeds by hand to prevent regrowth.

FAQs (3–5)

  • How long does a job take? Most single‑lot cutbacks are completed in 1–3 hours depending on size and debris.
  • Do you use herbicides? No — we use organic and mechanical methods only.
  • Can you remove big piles of debris? Yes — choose haul‑away or we can use curbside green‑bin disposal.
  • Do you service rental properties? Yes — we work with landlords and property managers for recurring schedules.
