Burien Pull weeds through mulch
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien yards face a mix of winter rains, mild summers, and shaded corners that let moss and opportunistic weeds thrive through thin mulch. Many homeowners and landlords find weeds reappearing where mulch has compacted, washed away on slopes, or never had a proper weed barrier. Poor drainage along driveways and beds, and beds under maples or conifers, means organic mulch breaks down faster and allows seedlings to take root.
Rentals and high-visibility homes near Seahurst Park or Normandy Park get quick complaints if beds look unkempt. Owners want low-maintenance, tidy beds that hold moisture for plants without constant pulling. The common goals here are safety on walkways, improved curb appeal, and fewer maintenance visits — all achievable without herbicides by using targeted hand removal, replenishing mulch, and addressing slope and drainage issues with sustainable fixes.
Our Quality Service
We remove weeds by hand and with simple tools, focusing on roots to reduce regrowth. We refresh or add organic mulch in appropriate depths and, where needed, add fabric or gravel for long-term suppression. Work is paced for minimal disturbance to established plantings and to manage runoff on sloped beds.
Benefits include safer, cleaner yards, improved curb appeal, reduced future maintenance, and healthier soil structure using sustainable practices only.
What’s Included

Before & After / Expectations
After service expect visible improvement for weeks; mulch will suppress most seedlings but small weeds and ivy regrowth can appear in shaded, damp spots. Water newly added mulch lightly to settle it, and check beds after heavy rain for washouts. For ivy or persistent perennials, repeat visits or focused replanting help long-term control.
FAQs
- How long does a typical job take? Most single-yard mulch weed jobs are 1–3 hours depending on size and infestation.
- Will this stop all weeds? Mulch greatly reduces seedlings and annuals; deep-rooted perennials and ivy may need repeat attention.
- Can you compost or haul the waste? Yes — we offer green bin composting or haul-away as an option.
- Do you use herbicides? No. We use manual removal, organic mulch, and physical barriers only.
