Burien licensed insured landscape contractor

Homeowner’s Issue

Rain, clay-loam soils, and shade from mature evergreens are the everyday reality for many Burien yards. Slopes toward the Sound and compacted soil cause slow drainage, moss, and patchy lawns; east- or south-facing spots can still bake in summer heat. Landlords and homeowners need landscapes that survive frequent rain, limit erosion, and reduce tenant or tenant turnover maintenance. Owners often want tidy curb appeal, safer walkways, and low-maintenance plantings that don’t require chemical herbicides. We focus on sustainable fixes — improved drainage, planting native and drought-tolerant species, manual weed control, and mulching — so yards stay healthy between visits and perform well near Seahurst Park or Boulevard Park.

Our Quality Service

We assess soil, grade, and sun/shade, then install practical, sustainable solutions that handle Burien’s winter rains and summer dry spells. Work is done for safety and low upkeep: stabilized slopes, clean edges, and mulch layers that suppress weeds and conserve moisture. Results are longer-lasting, safer for tenants, and boost curb appeal with minimal ongoing effort.

What’s Included

• Site assessment and tailored plan
• Grading tweaks for drainage and erosion control
• Planting of natives and low-water shrubs
• Manual weeding, pruning, edging, and mulching
• Cleanup and disposal (haul-away or green bin)

Optional upgrades:

• Mulch + fabric for high-weed areas
• Organic weed control and compost soil amendments
• Irrigation tweaks and seasonal planting

Before & After / Expectations

Expect better drainage, reduced moss, and slower weed regrowth within weeks. Water new plants lightly for the first month; after establishment, rely on mulch and native selections. Ivy and persistent weeds need repeated manual follow-ups in the first season.

FAQs

• How long to see improvement? Often 2–6 weeks for drainage and visual cleanup; plant establishment takes a season.
• Do you use chemicals? No — we use only sustainable, non-chemical methods.
• What access do you need? Gate or driveway access and a clear path for tools; we coordinate timing for tenants.
