Burien Summer yard waste removal

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien yards face frequent rain, patchy sun and shade, compacted glacial soils, and slopes that send water toward foundations and sidewalks. Those conditions mean moss, ivy regrowth, and persistent weeds after winter and during summer growth spurts. Sloped lots and older properties near Seahurst Park often need careful debris removal to avoid clogging drains and creating slippery walkways.

Landlords and homeowners want tidy, low-maintenance yards that hold up through our wet season and the dryer July–September stretch. Goals usually include safer walkways, reduced pest habitat, better curb appeal for rentals, and less weekly upkeep. Sustainable approaches — manual removal, mulching, composting, and organic weed control — work best here to improve soil structure without relying on chemical herbicides. A practical, season-aware cleanup sets beds up for drier months and helps native plants and lawn recover faster.

Our Quality Service

We plan work around Burien’s weather and yard microclimates to minimize disturbance and prevent erosion. Crews hand-collect branches and clippings, prune to improve air flow in dense, moss-prone shrubs, and place mulch to retain moisture through dry spells. On slopes we apply erosion control practices and staggered mulching to keep soil in place.

Benefits you’ll notice include safer walkways, improved curb appeal, lower weekly maintenance, and longer-lasting results through better soil health. All work focuses on sustainable methods — composting, green-bin disposal, and organic weed control — so your property gets cleaner without chemical solutions.

What’s Included

  • Debris removal: branches, leaves, grass clippings, and light pruning waste
  • Pruning and selective trimming to reduce moss and mildew risks
  • Hand-weeding and cleanup of beds and high-traffic edges
  • Mulch application to suppress weeds and conserve moisture
  • Edging around beds and pathways for a neat finish

Optional upgrades:

  • Mulch + landscape fabric placement for heavy-weed areas
  • Organic weed control and spot treatment (manual/organic products only)
  • Soil amendment (compost topdressing)
  • Haul-away vs. green bin disposal options

Before & After / Expectations

After service expect immediate improvement in sightlines, fewer places for pests to hide, and cleaner gutters and paths. Mulched beds will need a light refresh annually; slopes may require a second-season check to confirm erosion control is working. Ivy and perennial weeds will regrow from roots if not fully removed — plan follow-up treatments.

Care tips:

  • Water new mulch lightly after installation during prolonged dry spells.
  • Inspect shaded, moss-prone areas in spring and fall for repeat cleanup.
  • Pull ivy and persistent weeds early, before seeds set.

FAQs

  • How long does a typical cleanup take? Small yards can be finished in a few hours; larger or sloped properties may take a day or two depending on access and debris volume.
  • Do you use chemical herbicides? No — we use sustainable, organic and manual methods only.
  • What disposal options do I have? We offer green-bin composting, on-site chipping for reuse as mulch, or haul-away disposal.
  • Will this help rental turnover? Yes — a focused cleanup improves curb appeal and reduces tenant maintenance complaints.
  • Do you work on steep driveways or hill properties? Yes, we plan for slope safety and erosion control on steeper lots.
