Burien Lawn Edging Sidewalks and Driveways
Homeowner’s Issue
Many Burien yards face wet winters, compacted or clayey soils, and heavy shade from mature maples and firs. That combination encourages moss, edge creep, and slippery sidewalks — a safety and appearance issue for homeowners and landlords alike. Slopes near Normandy Park and older Highline lots create runoff that undermines edges and clogs gutters, while rental turnovers demand fast, durable fixes that cut maintenance time. Owners want tidy, long-lasting borders that shed rain, reduce weeds without chemicals, and improve curb appeal for tenants or resale. Sustainable solutions — manual edging, compostable mulch, native plant buffers, and permeable edges — work best here, reducing the need for repeat visits while protecting local streams and parks like Seahurst Park and Lake Burien.
Our Quality Service
We assess slope, drainage, shade, and soil compaction, then choose hand or machine edging and sustainable fixes to match site conditions. Work focuses on stable, permeable edges, organic weed control, and mulches that reduce regrowth and improve soil health. The result is safer walkways, stronger edges that resist erosion, and a lower-maintenance yard.

Before & After / Expectations
