Burien Prune low branches

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien yards face wet winters, compacted clay soils, and frequent overcast skies that encourage moss, ivy, and uneven growth. Low-hanging branches trap moisture, block light to lawns and gardens, and can create slip or sightline hazards on driveways and sidewalks. Many landlords and homeowners also manage slopes or drainage challenges from rainfall that make routine pruning critical to prevent storm damage.

Older trees and overgrown shrubs near Seahurst Park, Normandy Park borders, or alleyways often need selective pruning to open canopies and improve air circulation. Tenants want safe entryways and landlords want low-maintenance, durable landscapes that survive our rainy season. Sustainable pruning—removing only what’s necessary, preserving structure, and leaving wood chips for soil benefit—keeps properties tidy without herbicides.

Our Quality Service

We assess your property and recommend targeted pruning that reduces risk, improves light, and helps surface drainage on slopes. Work is done with clean tools and best-practice cuts to protect tree health and encourage long-term structure. All debris is hauled away or chipped on-site for mulch use when preferred.

Benefits

  • Safer walkways and clearer sightlines for tenants and delivery drivers.
  • Better lawn and garden vigor from added light and airflow.
  • Lower maintenance needs and longer-lasting results through sustainable pruning.

What’s Included

  • Onsite assessment and pruning plan.
  • Selective removal of low and hazardous branches.
  • Cleanup: chip, haul-away, or green-bin/compost-ready piles.
  • Brief care consultation and recommended follow-up schedule.

Optional upgrades:

  • Mulch + landscape fabric (where appropriate).
  • Organic, non-herbicide weed control and moss management.
  • Full haul-away vs. green bin/yard waste disposal.

Before & After / Expectations

After pruning, expect improved light and reduced moss in lawns within weeks and less twig litter through the season. Water new cuts lightly in drier months, monitor for regrowth in ivy, and spot-prune any suckers or re-sprouts. Where roots or drainage remain an issue, we’ll suggest mulching or soil amendments to reduce erosion.

FAQs

  • How long will a typical job take? Most residential prune jobs finish in a half to full day depending on size and access.
  • Do you use herbicides? No — we use only sustainable, non-chemical methods for weed and moss control.
  • What about access? We can work in tight yards; please clear cars and gates, or note any parking restrictions.
  • How often should pruning occur? Annual to biennial for most properties; rentals may need more frequent tune-ups.
