Burien Chipping branches
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien yards deal with a Pacific Northwest mix of dense clay and loamy soils, frequent rain, and shady corners that encourage moss and ivy. Many properties sit on modest slopes or near gullies that complicate access and create drainage issues when trimmed material is left piled. Landlords and homeowners want tidy, safe yards without constant upkeep: clear sightlines for rentals, safe walkways near driveways, and usable mulch that helps soil hold moisture through dry summer stretches. Fallen or overgrown branches can clog gutters, obscure views of Puget Sound from some slopes, and create slip hazards when wet. In areas closer to White Center and the Highline corridor, tight property lines and neighbor agreements make quick, clean work valuable. Sustainable on-site chipping turns clutter into useful mulch, reduces truck trips, and avoids sending organic material to the landfill. Our approach focuses on minimal disruption, better drainage after cleanup, and materials reused on-site or taken to green-bin or compost facilities as you prefer.
Our Quality Service
We assess access, slope, and moisture issues, then chip branches into mulch on-site or haul them to a green-bin facility. Work is done to protect beds, prevent compaction, and reduce runoff. Benefits include improved safety, curb appeal, lower maintenance, and long-lasting soil health.
What’s Included
- Property assessment and safe branch removal
- On-site chipping and tidy cleanup
- Optional mulch spreading around beds and trees

- Haul-away vs. green-bin disposal
Before & After / Expectations
After chipping expect immediate visual improvement, less pest habitat, and mulch that conserves moisture. Maintain with seasonal top-ups, light hand-weeding, and aeration on compacted spots. Watch for ivy or blackberry regrowth and pull early to prevent reestablishment.
