Burien Tree Pruning Guide
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien yards face a mix of heavy winter rain, compact clay pockets, and shady corners under big maples and cedars. Slopes and drainage channels around properties — especially near Seahurst Park and the Highline corridor — can funnel water and cause root stress or soil erosion. Overgrown limbs trap moisture, create moss and ivy growth, and drop debris that damages lawns and roofs. Landlords and homeowners want safe, tidy trees that cut liability, look good for tenants, and need less ongoing care. Sustainable pruning that clears deadwood, improves airflow, and shapes crowns helps light reach lawns and planted beds while reducing storm damage risk. We focus on practical cuts that support long-term tree health and property drainage, using no herbicides and organic, low-impact methods.
Our Quality Service
We assess each tree for structure, root runoff risk, and canopy density. Work is timed for best local conditions to reduce stress on trees and soil compaction from wet ground. We prune for safety, sightlines, and long-term low maintenance while protecting soil and nearby plantings. The result is safer yards, better curb appeal, and fewer repeat visits.
What’s Included
- Initial health and hazard assessment
- Thinning, crown raising, and selective crown reduction

Optional upgrades:

Before & After / Expectations
After pruning expect improved light, less moss and fewer shaded patches. Water new cuts sparingly during dry spells and watch for ivy regrowth on trunks. Mulch helps retain soil moisture and reduces weeds.
