Burien Full lawn renovation

Homeowner’s Issue

Many Burien yards struggle with compacted soils, moss, and thin grass because of our cool, wet climate and heavy winter rains. Shady spots under maples and cedars, north-facing slopes, and clayier soils near low-lying streets can hold moisture and limit root growth. Homeowners and landlords often want a low-maintenance, durable lawn that drains better, resists moss, and looks tidy for tenants or resale without relying on chemical herbicides.

A full renovation addresses these issues by improving soil biology, relieving compaction, and establishing resilient turf suited to local conditions. We tailor work to slope and sun exposure, recommend native-compatible seed mixes, and use organic topdressings and fertilizers to build long-term soil health. This approach reduces repeat visits, improves curb appeal, and helps properties near Seahurst Park or Normandy Park manage runoff and mud in wetter months.

Our Quality Service

We assess your lawn, test the soil, and create a plan tied to Burien’s rainfall patterns and common drainage problems. Work is done with low-impact equipment and organic materials to restore soil structure and seed establishment. Benefits include improved safety on slopes, better curb appeal, and a landscape that needs less weekly care.

What’s Included

  • Soil testing and written assessment
  • Hand and mechanical moss/weed removal (organic/manual)
  • Core aeration and overseeding with region-appropriate seed
  • Organic topdressing (compost) and starter nutrition
  • Post-renovation care plan and watering schedule

Optional upgrades:

  • Mulch + weed fabric for beds
  • Organic weed control programs (non-chemical)
  • Haul-away vs. green bin disposal

Before & After / Expectations

After renovation expect greener coverage in 4–8 weeks and fuller turf in one season. Water lightly and frequently initially, then transition to deeper, less frequent watering. Watch for moss or ivy regrowth in shaded areas and remove by hand; re-seed thin patches each fall for best results.

FAQs

  • How long does it take?
    Most jobs finish in 1–3 days; scheduling depends on yard size and weather.

  • Will you use chemicals?
    We focus on sustainable, non-chemical methods—compost, overseeding, aeration, and manual removal.

  • Do you need water access?
    Yes, access to a hose/sprinkler is recommended for successful establishment.

  • What maintenance is needed?
    Mow at recommended heights, follow the watering schedule, and re-seed thin spots seasonally.
