Burien Pre-sale tree pruning

Homeowner’s Issue

Preparing a home for market around Burien means dealing with wet winters, heavy moss, compact glacial soils, and sometimes steep lots that channel runoff. Trees that haven’t been thinned or raised block light, hide curb appeal, and can drop limbs in our frequent wind-and-rain storms. Buyers notice sagging branches, ivy-covered trunks, and yards that need constant cleanup.

Sellers and landlords want safe, tidy yards that read as low-maintenance after closing. Near Seahurst Park and the Highline corridor, homes often need selective thinning to improve sight lines, let lawns dry, and reduce moss pressure. Our approach focuses on long-term tree health so you avoid repeat visits and last-minute fixes before showings.

Our Quality Service

We prune to improve structure, reduce storm risk, and enhance visual appeal while respecting local soil and water conditions. Work is done with clean cuts, minimal disturbance to roots, and sustainable practices—no herbicides.

What’s Included

  • On-site assessment and pruning plan.
  • Canopy thinning, crown raising, deadwood removal, shaping.
  • Debris removal with choice of haul-away or green bin disposal.
  • Optional upgrades: mulch + fabric, organic weed control, fertilization, new plantings.

Before & After / Expectations

Expect better light, less moss, and fewer lower limbs after pruning. Water young trees during dry summer weeks, pull ivy at the base to prevent regrowth, and spot-treat weeds with organic methods.

FAQs

  • How long does a job take? Small properties in a day; larger or steep lots may take 1–2 days.
  • Do you use chemicals? No — we use only sustainable, non-herbicide practices.
  • Is access needed? Yes, clear a 10–15 ft path where possible for equipment and safe removal.
