Burien Remove diseased plants

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien’s mild, maritime climate and frequent rain mean fungal diseases, root rot, moss, and ivy regrowth are common problems. Many yards are under heavy canopy or sit on compact glacial soils with poor drainage, so a sick shrub or tree can quickly spread pathogens to nearby plants. Slopes and patios near Seahurst Park or yards around Lake Burien often face runoff and erosion that stress roots and complicate removal.

Homeowners and landlords usually want safe, low-maintenance solutions: keep tenants happy, reduce trip hazards from diseased branches, and preserve curb appeal without resorting to chemicals. Sustainable practices — careful removal, organic clean-up, composting, and green-bin disposal — protect neighboring plants and local waterways. With the right approach you get healthier beds, fewer repeat visits, and plants that thrive in Burien’s sun/shade microclimates.

Our Quality Service

We assess each plant in place, looking for above- and below-ground symptoms, soil conditions, and nearby hosts. Removal is done to limit root and spore spread, followed by targeted clean-up and organic disposal or haul-away.

Benefits include improved safety, stronger curb appeal, lower maintenance needs, and longer-lasting results through soil amendment and proper replacement choices.

What’s Included

  • Onsite inspection and disease assessment.
  • Safe removal of diseased plants, pruning of affected branches.
  • Debris removal with green-bin or haul-away options.
  • Bed clean-up, raking, and light soil amendment.
  • Optional replacement planting with disease-resistant choices.

Optional upgrades:

  • Mulch + landscape fabric for weed suppression.
  • Organic weed control and moss management.
  • Full soil test and amendment program.

Before & After / Expectations

After removal expect reduced disease pressure and a clearer planting plan. Water new plants deeply but infrequently to avoid soggy crowns; address compaction with light aeration in beds; monitor for ivy regrowth and remove by roots. Mulch helps retain moisture and suppresses weeds while improving soil biology over time.

FAQs

  • How long does removal take? Small jobs can be same-day; larger removals are quoted after inspection.
  • Can you dispose of material sustainably? Yes — we offer green-bin disposal or haul-away, and we compost suitable material.
  • Will the disease come back? Proper removal, soil care, and disease-resistant replacements greatly reduce recurrence.
  • Do you use herbicides? No — we use sustainable, non-chemical methods only.
