Burien Brush cutting tall weeds

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien yards face a lot of challenges: frequent west-side rain, thin topsoil over glacial till, shady pockets under cedars and maples, and steep sections that trap debris. These conditions let tall weeds, blackberry, and ivy take hold quickly, create drainage blockages, and hide tripping hazards. Landlords and homeowners often want safer slopes, better curb appeal for renters, or lower-maintenance beds that survive summer dry spells. Near Seahurst Park and Des Moines Creek, properties with heavy shade and compacted soils need different care than sunny street-front lawns. Sustainable brush cutting in this area focuses on mechanical and hand methods, stabilizing slopes, and reducing regrowth without herbicides so your yard stays tidy and safe between visits.

Our Quality Service

We use targeted brush cutting, hand-pulling, and mulching to remove tall weeds at the root and reduce regrowth. Work is tailored to wet-season runoff, steep grades, and shaded beds, prioritizing safety and erosion control. All methods are sustainable — no chemical herbicides — and we offer green bin or haul-away options.

What’s Included

  • Site assessment and slope/drainage check
  • Brush cutting and root-level clearing
  • Hand weeding of ivy and blackberry
  • Debris cleanup and haul-away or green-bin disposal
  • Optional upgrades: mulch + fabric, organic weed control, planting of low-maintenance natives

Before & After / Expectations

After cutting expect reduced bulkiness immediately and visible regrowth control over the next season. For best results in Burien, water new plantings only in dry spells, lift moss with a rake in spring, and monitor ivy regrowth along fences and slopes.

FAQs

  • How long does a job take? Small yards can be a few hours; larger or steep properties may take a day. Typical rates $50–$150/hr; packages available.
  • Do you use herbicides? No — we use mechanical and organic methods only.
  • What about disposal? Choose green-bin composting when allowed or full haul-away for heavy debris.
  • Need access? We ask for clear gate access and parking; tight or steep sites may require extra time or equipment.
