Burien Remove unwanted plants

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien yards deal with a wet coastal climate, shade from tall evergreens, compacted soils, and many sloped lots that concentrate water. Heavy winter and spring rains mean weeds, moss, and vigorous invasive roots return quickly, while shoreline wind and salt exposure affect plant choices near the Sound. Landlords and homeowners often want low-maintenance, safe landscapes that stay tidy between tenant turnovers or busy schedules. We focus on identifying problem species (ivy, blackberry, aggressive perennials), assessing drainage and slope risks, and matching solutions to your goals — whether you want a clean rental yard, pollinator-friendly plantings, or a low-water, low-work front border. Our methods prioritize hand-removal, mechanical root extraction, mulching, and organic controls to prevent regrowth without herbicides.

Our Quality Service

We remove unwanted plants with care for slopes, drainage, and Seattle-area soils, limiting erosion and protecting existing trees and shrubs. Work is done to improve safety, curb appeal, and create long-term, low-maintenance results using sustainable practices.

What’s Included

  • Site assessment and plant identification
  • Hand-pulling, root removal, and pruning
  • Clean-up and eco-friendly disposal (haul-away or green-bin where possible)
  • Basic grading to improve drainage

Optional upgrades:

  • Mulch + fabric installation
  • Organic weed control and follow-up treatments
  • Composting or full haul-away vs. green-bin disposal

Before & After / Expectations

After removal, expect exposed soil that benefits from mulch and soil-building. Watering, occasional weeding, and monitoring for ivy or blackberry regrowth are recommended; replant with natives or low-water groundcovers for best long-term results.

FAQs

  • How long does a job take? Small yards: a few hours; larger or overgrown sites: one to two days.
  • Do you use herbicides? No — we use hand/mechanical removal, mulching, and organic options only.
  • Will you remove roots on slopes? Yes, we address roots and stabilize slopes to limit erosion.
  • Is access required? We need clear access to areas to remove material and load debris.
