Burien Fire prevention yard waste clearing
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien yards face wet winters and dry late-summers that encourage moss, fallen needles, and built-up brush — all of which increase fire risk on slopes and under trees. Many properties near Seahurst Park and the Highline corridor have clayey, compacted soils and shaded corners that trap moisture, while sunny slopes dry out faster and need different care. Homeowners and landlords often want a tidy, low-maintenance yard that won’t fuel a fire, avoids repeat ivy or blackberry growth, and keeps tenants safe without relying on chemicals. Typical problems include clogged gutters, fallen branches, leaf litter in beds, and narrow access for pickup or green-bin collection. A local, sustainable clearing plan reduces hazards, improves drainage, and makes seasonal cleanup manageable.
Our Quality Service
We remove debris, prune back hazardous growth, and reshape slopes to reduce ember traps, using only sustainable methods — no herbicides. Work is staged for rain schedules and soil stability to avoid erosion on wet days. Benefits include safer properties, better curb appeal, reduced maintenance, and resilient plantings that hold soil on slopes.
What’s Included
- Debris collection: leaves, needles, small branches
- Pruning and thinning of overgrown shrubs
- Bed edging and light invasive removal (manual)
- Mulch spread to retain moisture and suppress weeds
Optional upgrades:
- Mulch + fabric installation
- Organic weed control and manual ivy removal
- Haul-away or green-bin disposal / composting
Before & After / Expectations
Water new mulch lightly for the first week, inspect slopes after heavy rain, and pull regrowth of ivy or blackberry early. Moss thrives in shade — improve airflow by pruning and consider replacing dense groundcovers with low-flammability native plants.
FAQs
