White Center Yard Clean Up — Perennial Cut Back
Homeowner’s Issue
White Center yards deal with heavy Pacific Northwest rainfall, compact clay-loam soils, and shady pockets that favor moss and bindweed. Slopes and berms around Westcrest Park and streets in Delridge need attention for drainage and erosion control, while sunnier front yards near 16th Ave can get leggy perennials that flop into walkways. HOA rules and curb-appeal standards in nearby Burien and West Seattle often require tidy beds and clear sightlines. Homeowners typically struggle with persistent weeds, seasonal debris from big firs and maples, and perennials that haven’t been divided in years — all of which trap moisture against stems and invite pests. Our Yard Clean Up focuses on the realities here: improving drainage on slopes, reducing moss by opening up canopy where practical, and cutting back or dividing overcrowded perennials to boost vigor and curb appeal. We use sustainable, non-chemical methods to reduce repeat visits and make yards safer and easier to maintain between seasons.
Our Quality Service
We prune, divide, and tidy perennial beds with care, emphasizing sustainable practices and proper disposal. On slopes we promote better drainage and on flat sites we loosen compacted soil and add organic mulch to retain moisture without trapping rot. The result is safer pathways, improved curb appeal, and lower-maintenance beds that last.
What’s Included
- Perennial pruning and selective dividing
- Hand-weeding and bed edging
- Debris collection and haul-away (or green bin sorting)
- Light soil roughening and organic mulch application (optional)
Options / upgrades:
- Mulch + landscape fabric underlayer
- Organic weed control (manual/thermal methods only)
- Haul-away vs. green bin sorting for yard waste
Before & After / Expectations
Expect some noise from hand tools and chipper on larger debris days and clear access to beds for crews. We remove clippings or leave them as coarse mulch by request. After service, water newly divided plants lightly and monitor for weeds; remove fallen leaves in fall to avoid matting and moss.
Care tips
- Water newly divided perennials twice weekly for two weeks in dry spells.
- Pull seedlings early; weeds are easier to remove when young.
- Keep ivy and vinca at bay around foundation plantings to protect roots.
