Burien Windstorm plant removal

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien sees strong coastal winds, heavy fall and winter rains, and a mix of clay and silty soils that hold water in low spots. Slopes toward the Sound and properties near Seahurst Park or Boulevard Park often experience storm-driven root heave, fallen branches, and saturated beds that leave plants vulnerable. Shade from mature evergreens and frequent cloud cover encourages moss, ivy, and shallow-rooted shrubs to struggle after wind events.

Homeowners and landlords want safe yards, fewer repeated visits, and landscapes that recover quickly without harsh chemicals. Typical goals include removing hazardous debris, restoring soil structure, improving drainage on slopes, and planting low-maintenance species that tolerate wind and Pacific Northwest wet winters. Sustainable tactics like manual removal, mulching, composting, and organic weed control work best here to protect soil life and reduce runoff while keeping long-term upkeep low.

Our Quality Service

We assess wind damage, remove broken or uprooted plants, and clean debris with attention to slope and drainage. Soil is restored with aeration and organic amendments suited to wet, compacted spots. We avoid herbicides and prioritize reuse—chipping branches for mulch, composting green waste, and selecting resilient replacements to lower future maintenance. Benefits include improved safety, curb appeal, reduced erosion, and durable, low‑effort results.

What’s Included

• Onsite damage assessment and priority removal
• Careful removal of uprooted plants and hazardous branches
• Debris cleanup, chipping, and either haul-away or green-bin disposal
• Soil aeration and organic amendment
• Optional upgrades:
  • Mulch + landscape fabric (where appropriate)
  • Organic weed control and manual ivy removal
  • Replanting with low-maintenance, wind-tolerant species

Before & After / Expectations

After cleanup, expect exposed soil and fresh mulch. Water new plants during dry spells, check drainage points after heavy rain, and monitor for moss or ivy regrowth in shady corners. Regular light maintenance and seasonal mulching keep the site tidy and reduce future storm damage.

FAQs

• How long does a typical job take?
  Most residential cleanups are completed in a day to two, depending on size and slope.

• Can you remove ivy and prevent regrowth?
  Yes — we use manual removal and organic follow-up; multiple visits are often needed to exhaust roots.

• Do you use herbicides?
