Burien Wound Sealing After Pruning
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien yards face a mix of heavy winter rain, cool summers, and variable sun exposure — conditions that make pruning technique important. Many older properties here sit on gentle slopes or have compacted glacial soils that hold moisture; open pruning wounds can stay damp and attract rot or pests. Shade from mature maples and firs in neighborhoods near Seahurst Park or around Lake Burien slows wound drying, while south-facing beds get more sun and dry quickly.
Homeowners and landlords usually want healthy trees that are safe, attractive, and low maintenance. Improper cuts or leaving large exposed surfaces can increase future maintenance and risk of branch failure. Sustainable wound sealing after pruning helps close exposed tissues with biodegradable materials, supports callus formation, and lowers the chance of secondary infections. Our approach balances preserving natural healing with practical protection, helping trees withstand Burien’s wet winters and reducing the need for repeat visits.

Before & After / Expectations
After service, small wounds form callus in weeks; larger cuts take a season or more. Keep pruned areas dry when possible, avoid heavy watering at the trunk line, and refresh mulch to limit soil splash. Watch for moss or ivy regrowth in shaded spots — remove by hand and reapply mulch. In Burien’s rainy months, check drainage and divert roof runoff to reduce prolonged wetness at root zones.
