Burien Heavy Shrub Reduction
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien yards face a mix of challenges: frequent coastal rain, shaded areas under tall evergreens, compacted soils, and steep or uneven slopes that trap moisture and encourage moss and ivy. Overgrown shrubs hold moisture against foundations, block visibility on pathways, and can crowd lawns and beds — creating extra work for landlords and busy homeowners who need low-maintenance solutions.
Many properties near Seahurst Park or toward SeaTac see more shade and moss, while sunnier spots along ridgelines dry out and stress shrubs differently. Owners often want safer sightlines, less regular trimming, and healthier plants that won’t regrow into the same problem next season. Sustainable pruning, selective thinning, and soil-friendly cleanups deliver those results without chemical herbicides.
Our Quality Service
We assess shrub health, slope and drainage, then prune and thin to improve air flow and light. Work is done with hand tools and electric trimmers where appropriate, and clippings are removed or composted to reduce waste. The result is improved safety, curb appeal, and long-lasting, low-maintenance plant structure.
What’s Included
- Site assessment and goal discussion
- Heavy pruning, selective thinning, and shaping
- Debris removal (haul-away or green bin composting)
- Optional mulch + landscape fabric installation
- Optional organic weed control (no herbicides)
Before & After / Expectations
After reduction, expect visible structure and less dense regrowth for 6–12 months; heavier cuts may flush new shoots in spring. Care tips: water new cuts lightly during dry spells, pull young weeds by hand, rake moss gently, and monitor ivy regrowth on slopes.
FAQs
- How long does a job take? Most single-yard reductions are 2–6 hours depending on size and slope.
