Burien Cut back perennials
Homeowner’s Issue
Seattle-area weather, salty spring winds, and our clay-silty soils make perennial beds in Burien prone to flopping, moss, and summer drought stress. Slopes near Seahurst Park and compacted plots in older White Center yards often drain poorly, so plants can become leggy or pile up with dead material that harbors pests and creates tripping hazards. Homeowners and landlords want tidy, low-maintenance beds that look good year-round without chemical inputs.
Cutting back perennials on the right schedule reduces disease, improves air flow, and helps new shoots come in strong next season. For renters and property managers, a seasonal cut-back is a simple, cost-effective way to boost curb appeal and reduce ongoing maintenance time. We focus on sustainable methods — hand-pruning, compost, and mulch — to protect soil life and pollinators while keeping beds neat and safe.
Our Quality Service
We assess each bed for drainage, slope, sun exposure, and plant health, then recommend cut-back timing that fits your plants and property goals. Work is done with sharp, clean tools and finished with organic mulch or compost where needed. Benefits include improved safety, lasting curb appeal, lower maintenance needs, and plant resilience without using herbicides.
What’s Included

Before & After / Expectations
After cut-back you’ll see cleaner beds and stronger spring regrowth. For Burien yards, water new mulch lightly, pull small weeds by hand, and monitor ivy or invasive regrowth at edges. Moss can be reduced by improving drainage and increasing light where possible.
