Burien Clear vegetation from fences

Homeowner’s Issue

Overgrown vines, ivy, and shrub mass along a fence weaken posts, trap moisture, and hide pests—problems common on Burien lots that see a lot of winter rain and mild summers. Heavy soils and shaded slopes near older trees encourage moss and ivy regrowth, while sunny garden fronts dry quickly and need a different trimming schedule. Landlords and homeowners often want tidy, low-maintenance boundaries that don’t eat into rental turnover time or regular upkeep budgets. Sustainable clearing—hand-removal, organic mulches, and targeted mulch fabric—reduces regrowth without chemical herbicides, improves drainage on sloped yards, and keeps fences visible for inspection and repair. For properties near White Center or Normandy Park, wind exposure and salt spray in low spots can speed wood decay, so a clear fence line is also a preventative maintenance step that protects curb appeal and rental value.

Our Quality Service

We remove invasive growth by hand and with sustainable tools, clean the fence line, and recommend planting and mulching that cut down future work. Work is tailored to slope, soil type, and sun exposure to reduce erosion and recurring moss or ivy.

What’s Included

  • Survey and assessment of fence condition and vegetation impact
  • Hand-pruning, vine and ivy removal, and root trimming
  • Edging and clean boundary creation
  • Optional mulch + fabric, organic weed-control mulch, and planting of low-maintenance shrubs
  • Disposal choice: green-bin composting or haul-away

Before & After / Expectations

After clearing expect faster fence inspections, less pest cover, and immediate curb appeal gains. For regrowth control water newly mulched areas lightly, cut back any shoots early, and remove moss by hand in shady spots.

FAQs

  • How long does a typical job take? Most single-lot jobs finish in a half to full day depending on density.
  • Will vegetation come back? Yes, if roots remain; we cut and remove roots when practical and offer organic mulching to suppress regrowth.
  • Do you use chemicals? No — we use sustainable, non-chemical methods only.
