Burien Creeping jenny removal
Homeowner’s Issue
Creeping Jenny spreads rapidly in the damp, mild climate around Burien, thriving in compacted, poorly drained soils and shaded corners. Many homes on hillsides and in older neighborhoods near Des Moines Creek Park see it creeping into beds, lawn edges, and planter pockets where it smothers desirable plants and hides uneven ground.
Frequent rain and north-side shade encourage moss as well as Creeping Jenny, and root fragments left behind will resprout after short attempts at removal. Landlords and homeowners often want low-maintenance solutions that improve drainage, reduce slip hazards on slopes, and restore curb appeal without relying on chemicals. Our approach focuses on manual removal, soil improvement, and durable planting choices so fences, paths, and rental yards stay tidy longer with fewer visits.

Before & After / Expectations
After removal expect exposed soil and some follow-up weeding for 6–12 weeks while root fragments resprout. Replace with low-maintenance plants or mulch to reduce water pooling and cut future work.
