Burien HOA common area weed removal
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien’s wet winters, shallow topsoils, and evergreen canopy create ideal conditions for moss, ivy, and persistent annual weeds. Heavy rains and compacted clay on slopes near Seahurst Park and Lake Burien mean poor drainage and erosion risks in common areas, while shady corners stay damp and weed-prone much of the year. Landlords and HOA boards want safe walkways, tidy beds, and low-maintenance planting that won’t demand weekly labor or chemical inputs. Your goals are usually clear: reduce trip hazards, improve curb appeal for tenants and buyers, and lower ongoing maintenance costs. That means choosing methods that work with local soil and slope conditions—improving drainage, increasing sun where possible, and using sustainable, manual, and organic control tactics that limit regrowth and protect native plants and stormwater systems.

Before & After / Expectations
After service expect cleaner beds and fewer visible weeds for weeks to months depending on seedbank and season.

Repeat visits reduce regrowth; mulching and planting dense groundcovers are the most sustainable fixes.
