Burien Remove diseased small trees
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien homeowners and landlords often face a mix of challenges: heavy winter rain, compacted glacial soils, shady yards that favor moss and fungal issues, plus steep pockets and drainage channels that make small diseased trees a safety concern. Shade from evergreens and neighboring properties slows drying after storms, which increases disease pressure on maples, alders, and ornamentals. On rental properties, neglected small trees can mean tenant complaints and liability risks. Many owners want safer spaces, lower maintenance, and attractive curb appeal without ongoing chemical use. Sustainable removal and proper follow-up planting or mulching will reduce regrowth, protect slopes from erosion near Seahurst Park, and keep properties around White Center tidy and tenant-ready. We approach each site with local soil and slope conditions in mind, prioritizing minimal disturbance and long-term, low-maintenance outcomes.
Our Quality Service
We assess tree health, site drainage, and slope stability before any work. Removals are done to minimize soil compaction and protect nearby plants, with storm-ready cleanup tailored to Burien’s wet climate. Benefits include improved safety, better curb appeal, reduced maintenance, and results that last.
What’s Included
- Onsite health assessment and hazard evaluation
- Safe tree removal and limb-by-limb work on slopes
- Optional stump grinding or leaving stump for habitat
- Cleanup and disposal (haul-away or green bin)
- Photos and simple care notes for landlords
Optional upgrades:
- Mulch + fabric for new plantings
- Organic, manual weed control (no herbicides)
- Native replanting (e.g., vine maple, red alder, sword fern)
Before & After / Expectations
After removal expect exposed soil that benefits from immediate mulch to prevent erosion. Water new plantings deeply but infrequently; control moss by improving light and aeration. For ivy or blackberry regrowth, we use hand-pulling and repeated cutting rather than chemicals. Stump grinding prevents resprouts and speeds replanting.
FAQs
- How long does it take? Small trees: a few hours; multiple or steep sites: a day or more.
