Burien Remove dead plants

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien properties see long, wet winters and mild, occasionally dry summers. That climate plus compacted loam and shaded slopes near Seahurst Park or the Highline area means plants often decline slowly — then dieback, invite moss, or drop brittle branches. Poor drainage on driveways and berms, heavy shade from cedars and firs, and shallow root zones on sloped yards make dead plants both unsightly and a hazard for tenants or visitors. Landlords want quick turnarounds between renters; homeowners want curb appeal and low upkeep. Removing dead plants correctly reduces pest and disease pressure, opens space for better-rooted replacements, and improves drainage where runoff pools. We focus on sustainable, manual methods — hand-removal, composting, mulching, and organic weed control — so your yard recovers cleanly without herbicides.

Our Quality Service

We assess plant health, remove dead material (including problematic roots), and clean the area with care for nearby healthy plants. Work is planned around Burien’s rain patterns to avoid soil compaction and erosion on slopes. Benefits include improved safety, stronger curb appeal, easier seasonal maintenance, and long-lasting results that hold up through wet winters.

What’s Included

  • Site assessment and plant identification
  • Safe removal of dead stems, shrubs, and roots
  • Debris clean-up and sorting for compost vs. disposal
  • Optional upgrades:
    • Mulch + landscaping fabric
    • Organic weed control (no herbicides)
    • Haul-away vs. green bin / compostable disposal

Before & After / Expectations

After removal we recommend mulching, light soil amendment, and planting shade-tolerant natives. Water new plantings only during dry spells; avoid overwatering on compacted soils. Watch for ivy regrowth at slopes and recurring moss in shaded lawns — manual removal and increased airflow usually control returns.

FAQs

  • How long does a job take? Small yards can be cleared in a few hours; larger or slope work may take a day.
  • Do you use chemicals? No — we use sustainable, non-chemical methods only.
  • Will roots be removed? We remove roots of dead plants when practical to reduce regrowth.
  • Can you work between tenants? Yes — we schedule quick turnarounds for rental properties.
