Burien Hot foam weed treatment
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien yards see a lot of moisture, mild winters, and compacted urban soils that make weeds, moss, and ivy come back fast. Many properties sit on small slopes or near drains, so surface runoff and pooling encourage shallow-rooted weeds and moss. Sun exposure varies block to block—north-facing yards and those near Des Moines Creek or the Puget Sound tend to stay damp and shaded, while front yards on sunnier streets dry out quicker and show different weed mixes.
Landlords and homeowners here want low-upkeep solutions that protect tenants, kids, and pets and still make the property look cared for between turnovers. Traditional chemical herbicides aren’t the right fit for many Burien neighborhoods; sustainable, non-toxic approaches that deal with regrowth, improve curb appeal, and respect stormwater requirements are a better match. You’re usually aiming for safety, fewer repeat visits, and a tidy, long-lasting result that won’t cause bare soil erosion on slopes or harm nearby greenery.
Our Quality Service
We use hot foam—heated water mixed with biodegradable surfactant—to target weeds without herbicides. The foam transfers heat into plant tissues and helps the solution stick even on slopes and cracks. Our method reduces regrowth and is safe around ornamentals, pets, and children when applied correctly.
Benefits include improved curb appeal, safer outdoor spaces for tenants and families, reduced maintenance frequency, and solutions tailored to Burien’s rainy, sloped lots.
What’s Included
- Walk-through assessment and weed identification.
- Hot foam application to targeted weeds, cracks, and borders.
- Post-treatment monitoring and a short follow-up visit if needed.
- Basic cleanup of treated areas.
Optional upgrades:
- Mulch + landscape fabric for beds to suppress regrowth.
- Organic/physical weed control (manual spot-weeding) and moss raking.
- Haul-away of debris or green bin disposal according to customer preference.
Before & After / Expectations
After treatment, most annual and shallow perennial weeds brown and collapse within days; tougher roots may take a couple weeks and a follow-up. Expect improved appearance quickly and fewer repeat touches when combined with mulch or soil conditioning. On damp, shaded areas watch for moss and ivy regrowth—these need manual removal or repeated soft treatments to manage long-term.
Care tips:
- Keep foot traffic low for 48 hours in treated zones.
- For planted beds, add 2–3” mulch after treatment to suppress seeds.
- Inspect shaded corners monthly for moss or root runners.
