Burien Cut vegetation away from gutters

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien yards get a lot of green-growth attention thanks to steady rain and nearby green spaces like Seahurst Park. Heavy, frequent rain pushes debris and plant growth into gutters, and many yards have compacted or clay-heavy soils that slow drainage. Slopes toward foundations or downspouts worsen runoff and can lead to overflow, pooling, or basement seepage.

Shade from maples and cedars and invasive vines like English ivy encourage moss and re-sprouting that clogs gutters quickly. Landlords and homeowners want low-effort solutions that protect roofs and foundations, keep tenants happy, and preserve curb appeal without chemical treatments. Sustainable trimming and routine clearing reduce long-term maintenance, limit ladder time, and prevent water damage that’s common in Burien and nearby neighborhoods. Simple, regular work pays off in fewer repairs and more reliable drainage during the wet season.

Our Quality Service

We focus on sustainable, hands-on vegetation control that fits Burien’s wet climate and typical yard slopes. We trim back trees, shrubs, and vines, clear gutters and downspouts, and recommend plant placement that reduces future encroachment.

Benefits include improved safety on walkways, stronger curb appeal for rentals or sales, reduced maintenance needs, and longer-lasting gutters and roofing.

What’s Included

  • Onsite inspection of roofline, gutters, and nearby vegetation.
  • Pruning back branches, cutting vines away from gutters, and removing root-suckers near foundations.
  • Gutter and downspout cleaning to restore proper flow.
  • Basic cleanup and disposal (haul-away or green bin option).

Optional upgrades:

  • Mulch + landscape fabric at foundation beds.
  • Organic, non-toxic weed control and moss management.
  • Seasonal tune-ups and larger debris haul-away.

Before & After / Expectations

After service you’ll see open gutter channels and pruned clearances that keep water flowing toward downspouts. Expect some regrowth from vines and suckers; we recommend light follow-up trimming in 6–12 weeks for aggressive species.

For Burien yards: check gutters after heavy storms, rake nearby needles and leaf litter, and keep ivy rooted away from foundation edges.

FAQs

How long does a typical job take?

Most single-family homes take 1–3 hours depending on tree cover and gutter length. Larger properties or heavy vine removal may need more time.

Do you use herbicides?

No. We use mechanical pruning, hand-pulling, and organic mulches only to control regrowth and protect soil and water quality.

Will you remove the debris?

Yes — choose between haul-away or using your green yard waste bin. We’ll note fees in the estimate.

How often should I schedule service?

Every spring and fall is common, with an extra check after storm seasons. High-coverage trees may need quarterly attention.
