Burien Lawn removal (sod cut & haul)

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien yards face a mix of challenges: steady winter rain, compact glacial soils, shady corners under maples, and steep drives or slopes that trap water. Lawns that once looked tidy become patchy, mossy, and high-maintenance — especially near Seahurst Park and the Highline area where tree cover and runoff change light and drainage. Renters, landlords, and homeowners often want lower maintenance, safer ground for kids and pets, and landscapes that use less water. Removing old sod is the practical first step to fix drainage, reduce moss and weeds, and prepare for drought-tolerant plants or mulched beds. We focus on sustainable, chemical-free methods so your property improves long-term without depending on herbicides.

Our Quality Service

We use a sod cutter and hand tools to remove turf cleanly, then grade and amend compacted soil with compost to improve drainage on slopes. Work is scheduled around local rain forecasts so soil is workable, and we avoid chemical treatments — relying on organic weed control, mulch, and proper soil prep. Benefits include safer surfaces, better curb appeal, and a lower-maintenance yard that holds up to Burien’s wet climate.

What’s Included

  • Onsite assessment and quote
  • Sod cutting and removal with protective matting for paths
  • Haul-away to disposal or green-bin transfer
  • Basic soil preparation and light amendment
  • Site brooming and cleanup

Optional upgrades:

  • Mulch + landscape fabric
  • Organic weed control and moss management
  • Heavier soil amendment and planting prep
  • Haul-away vs. green bin disposal choice

Before & After / Expectations

After removal expect exposed soil that needs 1–2 weeks to settle before planting or mulching. Water new plantings lightly in summer, monitor for moss in shaded spots, and watch for ivy or perennial weed regrowth; organic spot-weeding and mulch will reduce returns.

FAQs

  • How long will it take? Most small yards are one day; larger or slope jobs may take two.
  • Do you use chemicals? No — we use only sustainable, non-chemical methods.
  • What about disposal? Choose haul-away to a compost site or green-bin disposal when available.
  • Will the soil be ready for planting? We provide basic amendments; heavier prep is an available upgrade.
