Burien Sweep patios
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien yards face a particular set of challenges: steady Pacific Northwest rain, compact clay and glacial soils, shady corners that hold moss, and slopes that direct runoff toward patios. Homeowners and landlords often want low-maintenance, safe outdoor spaces that don’t require weekly work between tenants or for busy families. Poor drainage and shade encourage moss and algae, making surfaces slick and accelerating wear on pavers and concrete. Salt, fallen leaves from large maples, and ivy can clog joints and drains, too.
A practical patio sweep service in Burien focuses on clearing debris, addressing moss without synthetic herbicides, improving drainage, and stabilizing edges so water runs away from living spaces. For properties near Seahurst Park or the Highline area, where coastal moisture and wind-blown debris are common, a tailored approach keeps patios usable year-round and reduces costly repairs later. The goal is safer footing, better curb appeal, and less time spent on upkeep.
Our Quality Service
We use focused, sustainable methods that fit Burien’s rain and soils: mechanical sweeping, low-pressure washing where appropriate, and organic moss control to limit regrowth. We reset edges and improve small drainage lines so water sheds off patios instead of pooling. Results are safer surfaces, improved curb appeal, and lower ongoing maintenance.
What’s Included
- Initial on-site assessment and photo documentation.
- Mechanical sweeping and debris removal.
- Low-pressure washing for stubborn grime (no harsh herbicides).
- Organic moss control and brushing of joints.
- Edge trimming and light pruning around patio perimeters.
- Final inspection and simple homeowner care notes.
Optional upgrades:

- Organic weed-control follow-up treatments.
- Gravel or fabric for improved drainage.
- Haul-away vs. green bin disposal options.
Before & After / Expectations
After service expect visibly cleaner surfaces, clearer joints, and reduced moss for several months. Maintain results by sweeping regularly, raking leaves, and keeping nearby planting trimmed. For moss-prone shade, occasional follow-up visits or organic spot treatments help prevent regrowth. If ivy or heavy moss returns, schedule a tuned follow-up in the wetter months.
FAQs
- How long does a job take? Small patios are often done in 1–3 hours; larger or sloped areas may take longer depending on access.
- Will you use chemicals? We use sustainable, non-herbicidal methods and organic treatments for moss control.
- Do you need water/electric access? We prefer a nearby hose hookup; some jobs can be done with onboard water.
- How often should I schedule service? Quarterly works for most yards; monthly is better for rentals or high-visibility properties.
