Burien Winter storm debris hauling

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien properties face frequent winter wind, heavy rain, and salt-laden air that drop branches, cones, and leaves onto lawns and drainage channels. Steep lots and sloped yards near Seahurst Park and parts of the Highline see runoff and drainage issues that trap debris, encourage moss, and stress lawns and drainage systems. Thin, glacially-influenced soils and heavy shade under mature alder and cedar trees slow decomposition and make cleanup harder for homeowners. Landlords and owners often want quick, sustainable cleanup that improves safety, restores drainage, and reduces recurring work between tenants. A practical plan for debris hauling focuses on removing hazards, composting or chipping organic material, and preventing repeated regrowth of ivy and blackberry without using chemicals. That approach reduces slip hazards on stairs and paths, keeps gutters and storm drains clear, and improves curb appeal while supporting long-term soil health and lower maintenance needs.

Our Quality Service

We assess storm damage on-site and recommend sustainable, low-impact cleanup tailored to slopes and local soils. Work includes careful pruning, chipping, and hauling with a focus on composting and recycling green waste. Benefits include improved safety, restored drainage, better curb appeal, and reduced future maintenance through organic mulching and targeted plant care.

What’s Included

• Onsite assessment and debris inventory
• Removal of fallen branches, leaves, and loose yard waste
• Chipping of suitable woody debris for mulch
• Haul-away to composting or recycling facilities or green bin drop-off
• Raking, sweeping, and light pruning for safety

Optional upgrades:

• Mulch + fabric installation for beds
• Organic weed control (mechanical or manual methods)
• Haul-away vs. green bin disposal options

Before & After / Expectations

After service, expect clearer gutters, safer walkways, and less debris collecting in low spots and drains. Mulched areas will suppress weeds and retain moisture, while chipped wood can be reused on-site to improve soil over time. Watch for ivy and blackberry regrowth in shaded corners; a follow-up tidy session or targeted manual removal may be needed in spring.

FAQs

• How long does a typical cleanup take?
  Most residential jobs finish in a half day to a full day depending on yard size and debris volume.

• Do you use herbicides or chemical treatments?
  No. We use only sustainable practices: chipping, composting, manual removal, and organic mulching.

• What about disposal costs?
  Dump fees or green-bin hauling may apply; we include these in the estimate and explain options.

• Do you need access to water or power?
  Generally no — we bring our own equipment. We may request short driveway access for chip vans.
