Burien Remove weeds from gravel areas

Homeowner’s Issue

Gravel areas in Burien commonly collect weeds, moss, and debris thanks to our mild, wet winters and shady microclimates near Seahurst Park and low-lying Highline spots. Compacted, thin gravel over disturbed soil makes it easy for annuals and creeping perennials to take hold. On slopes and driveways, weeds worsen drainage and create trip hazards; in rental properties they hurt curb appeal and increase turn-over work for landlords. Homeowners and landlords often want long-lasting, low-to-no-chemical solutions that respect local waterways and storm drains. Typical owner goals are safer walkways, neat visual lines at the curb, and less frequent touch-ups — ideally using sustainable methods like hand-pulling, organic controls, improved drainage, and physical barriers such as landscape fabric and extra gravel. Addressing root systems and restoring proper gravel depth prevents quick regrowth and keeps maintenance predictable through Burien’s rainy season.

Our Quality Service

We use sustainable, hands-on methods tailored to local rain, slope, and soil conditions. Work includes targeted hand-pulling, mechanical raking, and organic control options — no synthetic herbicides. We prioritize safe, long-lasting fixes that improve drainage, stabilize slopes, and cut future upkeep.

Benefits:

  • Safer walkways and reduced trip hazards
  • Better curb appeal for rentals or resale
  • Low-maintenance beds that hold up in rain
  • Environmentally responsible choices to protect local streams

What’s Included

  • Assessment of gravel depth, slope, and drainage
  • Hand-pulling and root removal
  • Mechanical raking and debris haul-away or green bin disposal
  • Optional upgrades: mulch + fabric, organic weed control, gravel refresh, planting of low-maintenance natives

Before & After / Expectations

After service, expect clearer gravel surfaces and fewer weeds for months. Water newly treated spots lightly for a week if we loosen soil. Remove any small re-sprouts promptly; persistent roots may need a follow-up or fabric installation.

FAQs

  • How long does a job take? Small areas: 1–2 hours; larger beds depend on size and roots.
  • Do you use chemicals? No — we use only organic, mechanical, and physical methods.
  • Will you haul debris? Yes — choose haul-away or green bin disposal at booking.
