Burien Cemetery yard waste cleanup

Homeowner’s Issue

Cemetery grounds in this part of the Sound get a lot of rain and shade from tall evergreens, which means slow-drying lawns, moss, and packed organic debris. Compacted soils on slopes near Seahurst Park and runoff from heavy winter storms make drainage and path safety regular concerns for landlords and homeowners managing burial sites and memorials. Fallen leaves and branches hide trip hazards and accelerate turf decline, while ivy and other vigorous weeds can creep over headstones and edging.

Owners want respectful, low-impact maintenance that keeps the space dignified without frequent intervention. That usually means prioritizing hand-removal, careful mowing near markers, and mulching to suppress weeds and retain moisture. Our approach favors sustainable practices — composting, mechanical and organic weed control, and green-bin disposal — so the landscape improves over time instead of relying on chemical treatments. The goal is a tidy, safe, and low-maintenance cemetery that honors visitors and reduces ongoing work for property managers.

Our Quality Service

We focus on gentle, effective cleanup tailored to wet, shaded sites. Crews use hand tools around monuments, controlled mowing for sightlines, and clean mulching to reduce repeat weeding. Every job emphasizes erosion control on slopes and improved drainage to reduce standing water.

Benefits are clear: safer walkways, better curb appeal, longer-lasting plantings, and less time spent on repeat cleanups. All work follows sustainable methods — no herbicides — and we prefer composting and green-bin options before hauling away.

What’s Included

• Debris removal: leaves, small branches, and organic waste.
• Mowing and light turf trimming with care near headstones.
• Hand weeding and ivy control using mechanical and organic methods.
• Edging pathways and beds for a neat appearance.
• Mulch application to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture.
• Clean-up and either green-bin disposal or haul-away.

Optional upgrades:

• Mulch + landscape fabric for high-weed zones.
• Organic weed control and manual root removal.
• Soil amendments for compacted or depleted beds.
• Gravel refresh for pathways and drainage channels.

Before & After / Expectations

After service expect clearer paths, reduced surface debris, and fresher-looking beds that hold down weed pressure. New mulch will lower visible weed regrowth for months but hand-pulls may still be needed for deep-rooted ivy.

Care tips for Burien properties:

• Inspect slopes after heavy rain and clear small debris promptly.
• Hand-pull invasive ivy and reapply mulch annually in high-shade spots.
• Use green-bin composting for leaves and small branches where accepted.
