Burien Foreclosure / REO cleanup

Homeowner’s Issue

Properties in Burien face specific yard problems because of our wet winters, compacted soils, heavy tree shade, and hilly lots near Seahurst Park. Clay-heavy soil and persistent moss turn neglected yards into slippery, unsafe areas; slopes and blocked drains create standing water and erosion, while ivy and deep-rooted weeds can re-establish quickly after a single clearout. Landlords and homeowners want durable results that reduce return visits, improve curb appeal for listings, and cut tenant turnover, but they also need solutions that respect local waterways and avoid chemical herbicides. The goal is safe, tidy outdoor spaces that survive westside rain with minimal upkeep and use sustainable, hands-on methods like compost amendments, mulching, manual removal, and green-waste hauling.

Our Quality Service

We do hands-on cleanups that work with Burien soil and slope conditions, not against them. Work typically includes careful debris removal, aeration or minor grading to fix drainage, and organic soil amendments to support long-term turf and planting health. We focus on safety, curb appeal, and low-maintenance finishes that hold up through rainy seasons and reduce repeat work.

Benefits

  • Safer, clearer yards for showings and tenants.
  • Better curb appeal for quick sales or rentals.
  • Low-maintenance landscapes that last longer between visits.
  • Sustainable practices: no herbicides, composting, and green waste recycling.

What’s Included

  • Site assessment and hazard inspection.
  • Debris removal and organized haul-away or green-bin option.
  • Mowing, edging, and trimming.
  • Hand-weeding, ivy cutting, and moss control (mechanical/removal).
  • Bed cleanup and fresh mulch placement.

Optional Upgrades

  • Mulch + landscape fabric for long-term weed suppression.
  • Organic weed control and spot treatments (mechanical or organic products).
  • Gravel or rock paths, soil amendments, or new plantings.
  • Tree trimming, erosion control, or sod installation.

Before & After / Expectations

After cleanup expect cleaner sight lines, reduced trip hazards, and less weed pressure for several months. Care tips: water new plantings sparingly, hand-pull early spring weeds before seeds set, rake moss-prone areas and increase light where possible, and monitor ivy regrowth—repeat cutting and removal prevents returns.

FAQs

  • How long does a cleanup take? Most residential lots finish in a day; larger or heavily overgrown sites may take 1–2 days.
  • Do you need access? We need clear gate access and a place to stage debris; driveways are ideal for loading.
  • How often should maintenance happen? For rentals or resale, monthly to bi-monthly keeps properties market-ready; quarterly works for low-visibility sites.
  • What happens to green waste? You choose haul-away to a transfer station or we separate for green-bin/composting when allowed.
  • How do estimates work? Send photos or schedule a quick site visit for a free, transparent quote.
