Burien Small Ornamental Tree Removal

Homeowner’s Issue

Small ornamental trees in Burien often live on compacted, clay-rich soils with heavy winter rains and brief summer sun. Roots near downslope yards or driveways can lift pavers and worsen drainage, while moss, ivy, and shade-tolerant weeds thrive in the wet, shady corners common around Seahurst Park and older Highline neighborhoods. Homeowners and landlords usually want safer walkways, lower maintenance, or space for new planting without creating erosion on slopes. Removing small ornamentals solves sightline and clearance problems, reduces branch-fall risk during storms, and lets you plan sustainable replacements that suit Burien’s microclimates. We focus on methods that keep soil intact, recycle green waste, and avoid chemical herbicides, so your yard recovers quickly and stays low-maintenance.

Our Quality Service

We remove small ornamentals with care for rainy-season runoff, slope stability, and root disturbance. Work includes safe cutting, controlled limb lowering, and stump grinding where needed. We recycle chips on-site or haul to green bin/compost, and offer organic weed control and soil amendments to help new plantings settle in.

What’s Included

  • Site assessment and removal plan
  • Tree cutting and limb lowering for safety
  • Stump grinding to near ground level
  • Full debris cleanup and chip recycling or haul-away
  • Optional upgrades:
    • Mulch + landscape fabric installation
    • Organic weed control treatments (no herbicides)
    • Haul-away vs. green bin/compost disposal

Before & After / Expectations

  • Water new plantings sparingly through the first dry season.
  • Expect some moss and ivy regrowth in shady spots; pull early and add mulch.
  • Fine roots may remain after stump grind — we can amend soil and replant accordingly.

FAQs

  • How long will a small removal take?
    Most jobs are finished in a few hours, depending on access and slope.
  • Do you use herbicides?
    No — we rely on organic weed control and physical removal only.
  • Will removal cause drainage issues?
    We assess slopes and advise on mulch, soil amendments, or planting to prevent erosion.
  • Can you grind stumps below grade?
    Yes — stump grinding options are included or available as an add-on.
