Burien School campus tree pruning

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien properties face heavy winter rain, compacted glacial soils, and shaded microclimates that encourage moss and ivy. Slopes near Seahurst Park and pockets around White Center collect runoff, making roots and drainage a regular concern. Overgrown or poorly balanced trees increase storm risk, block sightlines, and create extra liability for landlords and schools. Owners want tidy, safe trees that require less ongoing care and hold up to seasonal wind and rain.

Our Quality Service

We assess branches, roots, and slope conditions and prune to improve structure, airflow, and light penetration. Work follows sustainable practices: clean cuts, organic mulch, composting debris, and manual weed control — no herbicides. The result is safer grounds, better curb appeal, reduced maintenance, and longer-lasting trees that handle Burien storms better.

What’s Included

  • Initial health and structural assessment
  • Trimming: deadwood removal, crown thinning, crown raising
  • Structural pruning for young trees
  • Cleanup and responsible disposal (green bin or haul-away)
  • Optional upgrades:
    • Mulch + landscape fabric
    • Organic weed control and hand-weeding
    • Regular health monitoring visits

Before & After / Expectations

After pruning expect improved light, less moss, and clearer sightlines within a week. Maintain with seasonal mulch, targeted watering in dry months, and annual checkups. For ivy or fast-regrowing shoots, repeat light pruning and hand removal controls regrowth without chemicals.

FAQs

  • How long does a job take? Small campus blocks are one day; larger sites may need 1–3 days depending on access and tree sizes.
  • Do you use herbicides? No — we use organic, mechanical, and cultural controls only.
  • Will you remove debris? Yes — choose green bin disposal or haul-away.
  • How often should pruning happen? Typically every 1–3 years depending on species and growth.
