Burien Peach tree pruning
Homeowner’s Issue
Peach trees in Burien face a mix of mild, wet winters and cool, cloudy summers that change how and when they fruit. Heavy winter rains and compacted clay-loam soils can cause poor drainage and root stress, while shade from nearby maples or cedars limits sunlight on south- and west-facing yards. Slopes toward Puget Sound or properties near Seahurst Park may channel runoff and increase erosion risk around tree roots. Landlords and homeowners often want consistent fruit yields, safer branches before storm season, and low-maintenance yards that stand up to rental turnover or resale inspections. Sustainable pruning improves airflow to reduce moss and fungal pressure, opens the canopy for better sunlight exposure, and directs growth away from roofs, fences, and utility lines. Our approach balances fruit production with long-term tree health so you get safer, productive trees that need fewer follow-up visits.

Before & After / Expectations
After pruning, expect clearer sightlines, less moss pressure, and better light for fruiting branches. Water newly mulched areas during dry spells, pull re-sprouting suckers promptly, and check for ivy or groundcover that competes with roots. Repeat light pruning annually to prevent heavy corrective cuts later.
FAQs
- How long does a job take? Small trees in a typical yard take 1–2 hours; larger or multiple trees may require a half to full day.
- Do you need full access? We need clear access to the tree base and a safe work area for ladders. Driveway or side-yard access is helpful.
- When should I schedule pruning? Late winter to early spring, just before new growth, is best in our area.
- Will pruning reduce fruit this year? Light thinning can reduce fruit load immediately but improves long-term yield and branch strength.
