Burien Prune trees for street clearance

Homeowner’s Issue

Overgrown street trees and large yard specimens in Burien can block sidewalks, signs, and sightlines. Our wet, mild winters and heavy fall rains promote fast branch growth and moss on trunks, while compacted clay pockets and sloped lots near Seahurst Park or the Highline make pruning and cleanup more frequent. Landlords and homeowners want safe, accessible streets and low-maintenance yards that still support trees. Regular, sustainable pruning keeps branches up off walkways, reduces storm damage risk, and preserves tree health without resorting to chemical treatments.

Our Quality Service

We prune to public-clearance standards and tree health, working around Burien’s rain patterns and common slopes. Work is done with hand tools and small power tools for precision, mulches and native plantings used to stabilize soil, and all clippings are processed for green-bin or haul-away. The result is safer sidewalks, improved curb appeal, and less follow-up work for owners.

What’s Included

  • Site assessment and clearance plan.
  • Selective pruning for sidewalks, driveways, and street sightlines.
  • Crown thinning and hazard limb removal.
  • Clean-up and wood/chip disposal (green‑bin or haul-away).
  • Optional upgrades:
    • Mulch + landscape fabric at tree bases.
    • Organic, non-chemical weed control.
    • Planting of native shrubs or replacement trees.

Before & After / Expectations

After pruning expect clearer walkways, improved light under the canopy, and less storm damage risk. For care, water young trees in dry spells, pull weeds by hand, scrape moss lightly if it harms bark, and watch for ivy regrowth on trunks — remove by hand to protect roots.

FAQs

  • How long does a job take? Small yards finish in a few hours; larger properties may take a day.
  • Will you use herbicides? No — we use sustainable, non-chemical methods only.
  • Do you handle slope or tight-access jobs? Yes — we plan safe access and bring appropriate gear.
  • How often should pruning happen? Generally once a year, with spot checks after storms.
