Burien Weed removal from gravel beds

Homeowner’s Issue

Gravel beds in Burien face constant pressure from rainfall, clayey pockets, moss, and wind‑blown seed. Heavy winter rain compacts gravel and encourages moss; summer sun and dry spells let weeds take hold in seams and under edging. Slopes and poor drainage along driveways or near downspouts make weeds harder to pull and encourage erosion, while shaded corners by fences or near Seahurst Park stay damp and attract moss and ivy.

Most homeowners and landlords want a tidy, low‑maintenance bed that still drains well and looks good from the street. The common frustrations are regrowth after a single pulling, gravel that sinks into soil, and the time it takes to keep beds presentable between tenant turnovers. Sustainable, physical methods — hand‑pulling, mulching, fabric, and regular light maintenance — work best here, avoiding herbicides and protecting soil life and nearby plantings.

Our Quality Service

We remove weeds by hand, clean roots, reshape and regrade gravel where needed, and install organic soil amendments or landscape fabric on request. Work is timed for dry windows to reduce compaction and for spring/fall when regrowth is easiest to manage. Our approach reduces erosion on slopes and improves drainage near gutters and downspouts.

Benefits include improved safety, better curb appeal, and a lower‑maintenance yard that lasts. Everything we do uses sustainable practices only — no chemical herbicides — and focuses on long‑term results.

Service Cadences & Pricing

  • Quarterly deep clean with two tune‑ups: $150 - $300.
  • Bi‑monthly maintenance: $100 - $200 per visit.
  • Monthly visits for high‑visibility properties: $80 - $150 per visit.
    Prices vary by bed size and weed density; disposal or additional materials may affect final cost.

What’s Included

  • Full hand‑removal of weeds and root extraction.
  • Soil loosening and light organic amendments.
  • Gravel refreshing or topping to even the surface.
  • Optional upgrades: mulch + fabric, organic weed control (non‑chemical), haul‑away or green‑bin disposal.

Before & After / Expectations

After service, expect cleaner sightlines, fewer tripping hazards, and a more even gravel surface. New gravel may settle over weeks; a light rake and occasional spot‑pulling keep beds tidy. For Burien yards, watch shady corners for moss and ivy regrowth, and check slopes after heavy rain for minor erosion.

FAQs

  • How long does a job take? Most residential beds are done in 1–3 hours depending on size and density.
  • Do you use herbicides? No — we use hand‑pulling, mulches, fabric, and organic options only.
  • Can you haul away debris? Yes — choose haul‑away or green‑bin disposal when you book.
  • Is access required? We ask for clear access to beds and any gates; parking near the work area helps speed the visit.
