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.
