White Center Yard Clean Up & On-site Composting
Homeowner’s Issue
Seattle’s rainfall, compacted glacial till, and shaded yards create common challenges in White Center. Many yards have heavy clay pockets that hold water in winter and bake in summer, making drainage and erosion on slopes a frequent concern. Shady areas near Westcrest Park and Delridge favor moss, ivy, and persistent broadleaf weeds rather than healthy turf, while sunny spots can get patchy and dry. Fallen leaves and debris sit damp for days, feeding slugs and hiding hazards.
HOA or neighborhood guidelines often require tidy front yards and safe sight lines, so curb appeal matters. Homeowners call us when yards feel out of control: overgrown beds, clogged drains, and compostable piles overflowing into pathways. Yard Clean Up here means working with the local climate—moving material away from foundations, improving slope drainage, and choosing low-maintenance plantings that tolerate shade and drizzle. We use only sustainable, mechanical, and organic methods (no herbicides) to restore function and appearance while keeping your yard compliant, safe, and ready for Seattle weather.
Our Quality Service
We focus on practical, sustainable Yard Clean Up that fits White Center properties. We assess soil, drainage, sun exposure, and slope before acting, then remove debris, trim, and sort material for on-site composting when possible. Our crews use manual, mulching, and organic techniques to reduce repeat visits and protect soils and waterways.
Benefits include improved safety, better curb appeal, reduced maintenance, and longer-lasting results. We aim to reduce runoff, keep drains clear, and return nutrients to your garden via on-site composting.

Before & After / Expectations
Expect some noise from pruning and mulching tools and a temporary pile of sorted green waste during service. We usually need clear access to the yard and a level spot for staging materials. Workdays typically produce organic debris that we either compost on-site or remove per your preference.
Care tips after Yard Clean Up:
- Water new soil amendments lightly during dry spells.
- Hand-pull early weeds before they set seed; repeated light pulls beat chemical shortcuts.
- Rake moss from high-traffic shady areas and thin tree canopies to increase light if desired.
- Keep ivy cut back from fences and foundations; spot-remove roots rather than treating chemically.
