Burien Sweep patios

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien yards face a steady stream of moisture, shade, and runoff that encourages moss, algae, and weeds to take hold on patios, walkways, and paver seams. Many properties sit on modest slopes or have compacted soils that keep surfaces wet longer after rain, while overhanging trees limit sun and trap leaf litter. For landlords and busy homeowners, this means slippery surfaces, faster material wear, and more frequent touch‑ups between tenant turnovers or showings. Typical owner goals here are clear: reduce slip hazards, cut maintenance time, keep tenants happy, and preserve curb appeal without relying on harsh chemicals. Our local work focuses on sustainable, hands‑on solutions suited to Burien’s climate so surfaces stay cleaner longer and require less upkeep.

Our Quality Service

We combine manual removal, low‑pressure washing with biodegradable cleaners, and attention to drainage and slope to reduce future regrowth. Work is scheduled around dry windows to maximize drying time and limit runoff. For sloped patios or properties near storm paths, we improve edges and drainage lines so water doesn’t pool against hardscapes. The result is safer surfaces, better curb appeal, and less frequent maintenance for landlords and homeowners.

  • Benefits: improved safety, lasting curb appeal, lower maintenance, and durable results.

What’s Included

  • Manual moss and weed removal from pavers, seams, and joints.
  • Low‑pressure washing with eco‑friendly cleaners to avoid plant damage.
  • Edge trimming and debris removal to keep borders tidy.
  • Optional sealing to slow regrowth (applied only if requested).

Optional upgrades:

  • Mulch + fabric installation for beds.
  • Organic, non‑toxic weed control and moss prevention.
  • Haul‑away debris or green‑bin compost disposal.

Before & After / Expectations

  • After service, allow 24–48 hours for treated surfaces to dry fully.
  • Expect some regrowth in shaded, damp corners; a follow‑up sweep helps keep it in check.
  • Routine tips: clear leaves weekly, keep nearby gutters clean, and prune overhangs to increase sun and airflow.
