White Center Yard Clean Up

Homeowner’s Issue

Seattle’s western exposure and frequent rain make White Center yards lush — and quick to get out of hand. Heavy rainfall, clay-rich soils in pockets around Roxhill Park, and compacted lawns on sloped properties create drainage challenges, moss patches, and persistent weeds. Sunny clearings near the top of Delridge or along streets heading into West Seattle dry out faster and often show bare soil and erosion. HOA rules along many streets also limit plant height and enforce tidy sightlines, so unruly brush or tall weeds can trigger complaints.

Most homeowners see the same problems: ivy creeping from neighboring lots, blackberry and Himalayan blackberry thickets along fences, moss overtaking shaded lawns, and seasonal burst growth of tall grasses and annual weeds. Access can be tight on many older lots with narrow side yards or fences, and slopes require attention to prevent runoff and erosion. That’s where a focused Yard Clean Up helps — we target drainage fixes, cut and remove tall weeds, and prep soil for long-term stability using only sustainable methods: hand-pulling, mechanical cutting, mulching, and composting. The result is safer, lower-maintenance yards that meet HOA standards and sit better with Seattle’s wet climate.

Our Quality Service

We tackle tall weeds and overgrowth with a practical, low-impact approach tailored to White Center and nearby neighborhoods like West Seattle and Roxhill Park. Work includes a property assessment, mechanical and manual cutting, and attention to slope drainage. We prioritize composting and green-bin disposal, avoid synthetic herbicides, and recommend organic, mulching solutions to suppress regrowth.

Benefits:

  • Safer yard lines for kids and pets.
  • Improved curb appeal that respects HOA rules.
  • Better drainage and reduced erosion on slopes.
  • Lower maintenance and longer-lasting results.

What’s Included

  • Site assessment and targeted plan.
  • Brush cutting and string trimming.
  • Hand-weeding and root removal where needed.
  • Debris haul-away or green-bin composting.
  • Light edging and bed clean-up.
  • Basic soil loosen and mulch topping (optional).

Options / Upgrades:

  • Mulch + landscape fabric installation.
  • Organic weed-control strategies (manual + mulch).
  • Haul-away vs. green-bin composting.
  • Soil amendment for compacted clay pockets.

Before & After / Expectations

Be honest: work days can be noisy and produce debris and temporary mud on wet days. We’ll protect walkways, lay access mats on sensitive lawns if needed, and stage cut material for removal. Please clear pets and fragile items from the work area and ensure gate access.

Post-service care tips:

  • Keep mulch layers 2–3” deep to suppress weeds.
  • Rake moss in shady areas and improve drainage with small grade adjustments.
  • Pull young shoots early in the season to avoid root re-establishment.
  • Water new plantings sparingly — stronger root systems reduce moss and weeds.

FAQs

How long does a typical job take?

Small yards: a few hours. Medium to overgrown lots: half a day to a full day, depending on slope and access.

Do you use herbicides?

No. We use mechanical cutting, hand-pulling, mulching, and organic methods only.

Can you remove large piles of debris?
