Burien Light shrub trimming

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien yards face a mix of quick spring growth, persistent shade, and heavy winter rains that encourage moss and dense undergrowth. Many properties sit on small slopes or compacted soils that hold water in low spots, so shrubs often need careful shaping to improve airflow and drainage. Sun exposure varies—from full sun at the top of a slope to deep shade near fences or conifer hedges—so pruning goals differ by plant and location. Landlords want tidy, low-upkeep beds; homeowners want curb appeal and healthy plants that resist disease. Our approach balances those goals: we reduce bulk, remove crossing branches, and open shrub centers to reduce moisture-related issues without using herbicides, relying on pruning, mulching, and organic debris recycling.

Our Quality Service

We perform thoughtful, sustainable trimming tuned to Burien conditions—cutting for plant health, slope stability, and visibility along walkways. Work is done with clean, sharp tools, careful debris management, and options for mulch made from recycled clippings. Benefits include improved safety, lasting curb appeal, and lower routine maintenance.

What’s Included

  • Light trimming and shaping
  • Removal of dead wood and crossing branches
  • Debris cleanup and site sweep
  • Health check for pests and disease

Optional upgrades:

  • Mulch + landscape fabric
  • Organic weed control (manual & corn-gluten options)
  • Haul-away or green bin disposal

Before & After / Expectations

Expect clearer sightlines, reduced moss in open centers, and less leaf litter after service. Aftercare: light watering in dry spells, pull weeds early, rake moss from high-shade spots, and monitor ivy regrowth on fences.

FAQs

  • How long does a job take? Small yards 1–2 hours; larger or overgrown sites vary.
  • Do you use chemicals? No — we use only sustainable, non-chemical methods.
  • Will you haul debris? Yes — choose haul-away or green bin disposal during booking.
