Burien Leaf Blowing

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien yards collect a lot of organic debris through the year — from alder and maple leaves to moss and needles — and those materials create problems during our long, wet seasons. Heavy leaf buildup holds moisture against grass and paved surfaces, increasing moss growth, clogging drains, and making walkways slippery after rain. Sloped lots and compacted glacial soils common around Seahurst Park and parts of White Center can make leaves and muck move downhill into gutters and low spots, worsening drainage issues.

Many landlords and homeowners want low-maintenance, tidy exteriors that don’t need daily attention but still look cared for for renters or curb appeal. The goals we hear most are safety (non-slip paths), easy fall and spring care, and sustainable disposal — composting or using the green bin — rather than chemical solutions. This guide focuses on straightforward, eco-friendly practices that reduce recurring problems while protecting plants and soil structure.

Our Quality Service

We assess your lot, consider slope and shade, and use hand tools plus electric or quiet two-stroke blowers to collect leaves without digging into soil. We prioritize mulching and composting on-site or hauling to green-yard facilities to keep organics out of landfills. The result is a safer, cleaner property with less frequent maintenance needs and long-lasting curb appeal.

  • Improved safety on walkways and driveways
  • Better drainage and reduced moss growth
  • Low-maintenance landscaping that lasts through wet seasons

What’s Included

  • Blowing leaves from lawns, beds, driveways, and sidewalks
  • Clearing gutters and storm drain inlets of leaf build-up
  • Bagging or loading leaves for green-bin or compost hauling
  • Final broom and edge cleanup for clean lines

Optional upgrades:

  • Mulch + landscape fabric for planting beds
  • Organic, manual weed control and repeated spot-weeding
  • Haul-away to green-yard facility vs. green-bin drop-off

Before & After / Expectations

After service expect a neat yard with trimmed edges and cleared drains. To keep it looking good:

  • Water new plantings deeply but less often during fall and winter.
  • Rake or blow weekly in heavy-shed areas; mulch shredded leaves into beds to feed soil.
  • Watch for ivy or perennial weed regrowth; pull or spot-treat mechanically (no herbicides).

FAQs

  • How long does a typical job take?
    Most small-to-medium yards are done in 1–3 hours depending on slope and debris volume.

  • Do you use chemicals?
    No — we use sustainable methods: mulching, composting, and hand removal only.

  • Can you work around tenants or access limits?
    Yes — we schedule times to suit rentals, use gate codes, and leave detailed invoices.

  • What happens to the leaves?
    Leaves are mulched on-site, taken to green-bin pickup, or hauled to composting facilities per your preference.
