Burien Mow weeds in easements
Homeowner’s Issue
Easements — the strips between sidewalk and street or property lines — are the first thing neighbors and renters notice. In Burien, frequent drizzle, compacted glacial soils, and shaded spots below big maples or firs mean weeds, moss, and ivy often outcompete turf. Slopes and poor drainage near curbs can let weeds spread quickly and hide trip hazards or gutter blockages. Landlords and homeowners want low-maintenance, safe edges that drain well and look cared-for without toxic chemicals. Goals usually include improving curb appeal for renters or resale, reducing weekly upkeep, and preventing ivy or bindweed from reclaiming rock beds. Close proximity to areas like Seahurst Park and the Highline means properties face both wet-season growth spurts and shaded, moss-prone patches that need different treatments than sunny lawns.
Our Quality Service
We use practical, sustainable methods tuned to local rain and slope issues. Mowing, targeted hand-weeding, and mulching reduce regrowth and improve drainage without herbicides. The result is safer edges, cleaner curb appeal, and yards that need less frequent visits.
What’s Included
- Initial assessment of easement size, slope, and drainage.
- Mowing and trimming to a tidy, safe height.

Before & After / Expectations
Expect immediate visual improvement after service; weeds regrow in wetter months and shaded areas may need follow-up. Care tips: keep mulch 2–3” deep, clear debris from drains, and plan light maintenance visits in spring and fall to limit regrowth.
