Burien Ajuga removal

Homeowner’s Issue

Ajuga (bugleweed) spreads fast in compacted, shady spots and on north‑facing slopes common around Seahurst Park and nearby Boulevards. Heavy winter rain, clay‑rich pockets, and poor drainage let runners root into lawn and planting beds, creating uneven surfaces and mossy patches. Landlords and homeowners often want a safer, lower‑maintenance yard that still looks tidy between tenants or through Seattle’s wet season. The usual goals are to stop runners, improve soil structure, and replace Ajuga with durable, low‑care groundcovers or lawn. Sustainable removal focuses on hand digging runners, improving drainage and topsoil, and planting choices that tolerate local shade and winter water without herbicides.

Our Quality Service

We remove Ajuga by hand and with small tools, digging roots and runners to reduce regrowth. We pair removal with soil prep — aeration, compost incorporation, and slope tweaks — so new plantings establish quickly. Benefits include improved safety, better curb appeal, and a lower‑work landscape that stands up to local rain and shade.

What’s Included

  • Site assessment and photo documentation
  • Manual digging of crowns, runners, and roots
  • Debris haul‑away or green‑bin disposal (your choice)
  • Soil preparation and minor grading
  • Optional upgrades:
    • Mulch + landscape fabric
    • Organic weed control and replanting recommendations
    • Gravel or decorative finish

Before & After / Expectations

After removal expect some stolon regrowth from missed runners; follow‑up checks reduce this. Water new plantings lightly through the first season, monitor moss in shady corners, and cut back ivy or other aggressive neighbors early. Mulch helps suppress weeds while soil settles.

FAQs

  • How long will removal take?
    Most small beds finish in a few hours; larger infestations may need a full day.

  • Will Ajuga come back?
    If runners are missed it can reappear; we recommend a follow‑up visit and improved soil/planting choices.

  • What disposal options do I have?
    We offer haul‑away or green‑bin disposal to keep the yard clean and compliant.
