Burien Remove dead shrub material

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien yards face a specific mix of challenges: heavy winter rain, compacted or clay-rich soils, shade from mature evergreens, and slopes that channel runoff toward foundations or low spots. Dead shrubs left in place invite moss, pests, and root rot that spread in our damp winters, and brittle stems can fail during wind storms. For landlords and homeowners balancing curb appeal with low upkeep, removing dead material helps prevent regrowth of invasive ivy and reduces the frequency of cleanups between tenants or seasons. Near Seahurst Park and Lake Burien Park properties often see extra shade and moss pressure, while lots near higher streets need careful attention to drainage after removing root balls. The goal is a safe, tidy landscape that drains properly, looks cared-for, and needs less hands-on work over time.

Our Quality Service

We remove dead shrubs by digging root balls, cleaning surrounding beds, and improving soil access where drainage or compaction is an issue. Work is done with hand tools and ergonomic care to protect nearby plants and slopes. Benefits include improved safety, stronger curb appeal, lower maintenance needs, and longer-lasting results.

What’s Included

  • Onsite assessment and removal plan
  • Cutting back and full root-ball extraction
  • Debris cleanup and choice of haul-away or green-bin disposal
  • Bed raking and light edging
    Optional upgrades:
  • Mulch + landscape fabric
  • Organic weed control and manual ivy removal
  • Gravel for improved drainage

Before & After / Expectations

After removal we recommend mulch, soil aeration, and planting with low-maintenance natives to prevent erosion. For first season care: water new plants sparingly in summer, monitor moss in shady beds, and pull ivy by the root to prevent quick regrowth.

FAQs

  • How long does a job take? Small jobs are often 1–3 hours; larger yards can take a half or full day.
  • Do you use herbicides? No — we rely on manual removal, mulching, and organic options only.
  • Can you replace plants? Yes, we can advise and plant low-maintenance replacements.
