Burien Pull weeds from gravel driveways
Homeowner’s Issue
Gravel driveways around Burien often invite weeds because our mild, wet winters and drizzly springs keep soil moisture high. Clay pockets under gravel, shaded corners near fences, and run-off from slopes encourage moss and annual weeds to take root, especially near Seahurst Park drainage swales and low spots in White Center-facing lots. Landlords and homeowners usually want low-effort fixes that won’t harm soil or local wildlife, reduce trip hazards, and keep rental curb appeal high between tenants.
The challenge is pulling roots without spreading seed, dealing with regrowth from creeping species like ivy or chickweed, and controlling future growth while keeping costs reasonable. Sustainable, hands-on methods work best here: targeted hand-pulling, improving drainage on slopes, adding weed barrier fabric under refreshed gravel, and using organic, mechanical suppression rather than chemical herbicides. These steps protect nearby plants and the local watershed while delivering long-lasting results.
Our Quality Service
We start with a local assessment that looks at slope, drainage, sun/shade, and soil pockets. Our crew hand-pulls weeds, clears roots and seed heads, and rakes the gravel to restore even surface and drainage.
Benefits you’ll notice:
- Safer walks and drive-in access.
- Better curb appeal with minimal maintenance.
- Sustainable, long-lasting results that respect local soil and water.

Before & After / Expectations
After service, expect a neater surface and improved drainage for weeks to months. Monitor shaded or damp corners for regrowth; repeat tune-ups or fabric installation will reduce visits over time.
Care tips:
- Lightly rake annually and replace thin gravel.
- Remove seedlings promptly—hand-pull before seed set.
- Keep gutters and runoff directed away from driveway edges.
