Burien Remove diseased branches

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien’s wet winters, shallow soils, and shaded microclimates around Seahurst Park and the Highline corridor create conditions where disease and decay can hide in your trees and shrubs. Damp bark, moss, and ivy can hold moisture against stems and encourage fungal infections, while steep driveways and slopes add risk when weak branches fail. Landlords and homeowners commonly report limb drop, increasing pest activity, and reduced curb appeal after long rainy spells.

Many properties in Burien need targeted pruning rather than heavy thinning; removing only the diseased wood protects structure and encourages natural healing. Owners want safe yards, low ongoing maintenance, and approaches that work with local conditions — not quick fixes. Sustainable practices are essential here: we avoid herbicides and focus on pruning, mulching, and organic care to strengthen plants over time and reduce repeat visits.

Our Quality Service

We assess each tree on slope, exposure, and root health, then remove diseased branches with clean, correct cuts to reduce spread. Work is done with safety gear, minimal soil disturbance, and sustainable disposal options.

Benefits:

  • Improved safety and reduced liability for landlords and families.
  • Better curb appeal and long-term plant health.
  • Lower maintenance needs and resilient trees after care.

What’s Included

  • Full inspection and identification of diseased wood.
  • Pruning and selective branch removal.
  • Haul-away or green bin disposal per your preference.
  • Post-pruning cleanup and basic wound care advice.

Optional upgrades:

  • Mulch + landscape fabric for moisture control.
  • Organic weed control and compost top-dressing.
  • Follow-up tree health checks.

Before & After / Expectations

After pruning expect reduced foliage density in treated areas and visible wound callus over weeks. Water newly exposed roots during dry spells, remove competing ivy, and sweep gutters to prevent moisture buildup. Watch for moss regrowth and repeat light pruning the following spring if needed.

FAQs

  • How long does a job take? Small yards often finish in a few hours; larger trees may require a day with follow-up checks.
  • Do you use herbicides? No — we use sustainable, herbicide-free methods only.
  • How do you handle slopes or limited access? We plan for safe rigging and can offer green-bin or haul-away options.
  • Will pruning stop the disease immediately? Pruning removes infected tissue and slows spread; follow-up care improves recovery.
