Burien Retail plant removal
Homeowner’s Issue
Retail landlords and homeowners around Burien face specific landscape challenges: heavy winter rain, clay‑rich or compacted soils, shaded corners under maples, and sloped beds that channel water toward sidewalks and foundations. Those conditions encourage moss, ivy, and vigorous volunteer shrubs that can become tripping or sight‑line hazards for customers and delivery drivers. Many property owners want lower‑maintenance beds, neat walkways, and plantings that survive our cloudy, wet season without constant attention.
At retail sites near Seahurst Park or around Lake Burien, visibility and curb appeal matter more than ever. Tenants need safe, tidy entries and property managers need predictable maintenance costs. Sustainable plant removal — focused on manual extraction, composting, and strategic replanting with natives — helps reduce repeat work, improves drainage, and makes landscapes easier to maintain between service visits.
Our Quality Service
We remove unwanted plants using hand tools and small machinery to limit soil disturbance and avoid harmful chemicals. We prioritize soil health, native replacements, and erosion control on slopes to manage winter runoff. The result is a safer storefront, cleaner sight lines, and lower long‑term upkeep.
Benefits include improved safety, stronger curb appeal, reduced weed pressure, and durable, low‑maintenance results.
What’s Included
- Onsite assessment and written quote.
- Manual and mechanical plant removal (roots removed where needed).

Optional upgrades:

Before & After / Expectations
Expect exposed soil after removal; we can add mulch or plantings the same day in most cases. For slopes, allow 1–2 weeks for settling; avoid heavy foot traffic for a few days. Watch for ivy or rhizome regrowth and plan a single follow‑up weeding visit within 6–8 weeks.
