Shrub Disease Treatment — Burien
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien yards face a few regular challenges: frequent Westside rain, compacted glacial soils, and shady pockets under mature maples and evergreens that encourage fungal growth. Shrubs that sit in poorly drained beds, on small slopes, or against north-facing walls often show leaf spots, dieback, and moss or lichen buildup. Homeowners and landlords want healthy-looking, low-maintenance beds that won’t end up a safety or turnover liability for renters.
Addressing shrub disease here is about more than one spray. It takes pruning to open the canopy, improving drainage on slopes or flat beds, and choosing treatments that work in wet seasons without harming beneficial insects. Sustainable, cultural approaches extend the life of shrubs, reduce repeat visits, and keep properties looking neat around areas like the Burien Town Square and nearby Highline neighborhoods.
Our Quality Service
We diagnose shrub problems on-site or from photos, then apply eco-friendly, biological or organic treatments alongside targeted pruning. We focus on improving air flow, amending soil where needed, and placing mulch to reduce splash-borne spores. Benefits include improved safety, boosted curb appeal, lower ongoing maintenance, and longer-lasting results.

Before & After / Expectations

- For moss-prone spots, increase sun and airflow when possible and consider topdressing with coarse mulch.
FAQs
