Burien One-time yard waste removal

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien properties see a lot of organic growth thanks to our mild, wet winters and cool, cloudy summers. Heavy rains and clay-loam pockets near low spots can lead to compaction, moss, and patchy drainage, while slopes around Seahurst Park or homes near Highline areas often trap blown leaves and branches. Landlords and homeowners typically need a one-time cleanup when rental turnovers, storm debris, or seasonal leaf drop create trip hazards, blocked gutters, or zones where ivy and woody growth start to smother plantings.

Most owners want a tidy, low-maintenance yard that won’t demand weekly attention. That means improving drainage, removing bulky debris, and setting up simple, sustainable defenses against weeds and regrowth. For many Burien yards, the work is straightforward: gather and haul away organic waste, prune back overgrowth to improve air and light, and add mulch to stabilize soil and reduce future chores. Doing this once with the right approach prevents recurring problems and protects curb appeal for rentals and long-term homes alike.

Our Quality Service

We assess slope, soil type, sun and shade, and water flow to recommend sustainable fixes that fit your goals. Work is done with hand tools and low-impact equipment to avoid compaction and protect plant roots. We prioritize composting, green-bin disposal, and mulching rather than chemical treatments.

The result is a safer yard with better drainage, improved curb appeal, and lower maintenance between visits — ideal for busy homeowners and landlords managing turnover or long-term tenants.

What’s Included

• Site assessment and visible debris removal (leaves, branches, brush)
• Pruning and light trimming of shrubs and low branches
• Manual weeding and ivy pulling in problem areas
• Raking beds and pathways, edging where needed
• Optional light mulching to protect soil and suppress weeds

Optional upgrades:

• Mulch + landscape fabric installation
• Organic weed control and hand-weed follow-up
• Haul-away to compost facility vs. green-bin disposal

Before & After / Expectations

After a one-time cleanup your yard will look noticeably neater and be safer for tenants and visitors. Expect better water flow in low areas and fewer places for moss to gain a foothold. Allow 1–2 weeks for cut roots and pruned shrubs to settle; water new mulch lightly to prevent washout.

Ongoing tips: spot-water in dry spells, pull small weeds by hand early, and monitor ivy regrowth on fences and slopes. For rental properties, leave basic care tips for tenants so improvements last.

FAQs

• How long does a one-time job take?
  Most small to medium yards take 2–6 hours; larger or overgrown yards may need a full day. We provide an estimated time in the free quote.

• Do you use chemicals?
  No. We use sustainable practices only: hand removal, mulching, composting, and organic options on request.

• Will you haul debris away?
  Yes — choose haul-away to a compost facility or we can separate materials for green-bin pickup.

• Do you need water or power access?
  We usually only need access to the yard and a place to stage debris. If soil amendments or powered tools are required we’ll note that in the estimate.
