Burien Remove deadheading flowers

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien’s marine-influenced weather means frequent rain, cool summers, and a long wet season that encourages moss, fungal issues, and rapid bloom cycles. Many yards here sit on compacted glacial soils or shallow topsoil over slopes, so plants can show stress after heavy rains or runoff. Trees and hedgerows create mixed sun and shade across short distances, making it hard to predict which plants need regular attention. Landlords and homeowners often want tidy, low-maintenance beds that look good for tenants and curb appeal without constant upkeep. Deadheading—removing spent flowers—helps plants redirect energy to new blooms, reduces seed set that turns into messy self-seeding, and limits pest habitat. In Burien properties near Seahurst Park or the Highline corridor, a hands-on, sustainable approach keeps beds healthy through wet winters and busy rental seasons.

Our Quality Service

We deadhead by hand and with clean tools, timing cuts to local bloom cycles so plants rebloom and remain vigorous. Work is done with sustainable practices only—no herbicides—using pruning, mulching, and organic tidy-up to reduce disease and maintenance needs. Benefits include improved safety, stronger blooms, and longer-lasting curb appeal.

What’s Included

  • Identify and deadhead applicable annuals and perennials
  • Clean cuts with pruning shears to protect plant health
  • Bed tidy: remove debris, prune lightly, and edge beds
  • Disposal: choose haul-away for large loads or green bin composting
    Optional upgrades:
  • Mulch + landscape fabric installation
  • Organic weed control (manual and corn gluten where appropriate)
  • Seasonal planting and fertilizing with organic products

Before & After / Expectations

After service expect fresher blooms within weeks and less seed mess. For Burien yards: water new plantings during dry spells, hand-remove moss and ivy regrowth early, and refresh mulch yearly to suppress weeds and retain moisture.

FAQs

  • How often should deadheading happen? Monthly during peak bloom season is typical; quarterly for low-maintenance beds.
  • Do you use chemicals? No — we use only sustainable, organic methods.
  • Can you dispose of clippings? Yes — choose green bin composting or haul-away.
  • What access do you need? A clear pathway and water source nearby help, photo estimates are fine.
