Burien String trimming / edging
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien yards face frequent rain, cool summers, and lots of shade from mature trees — conditions that encourage moss, thatch, and uneven growth. Many homes near Seahurst Park and Boulevard Park sit on modest slopes or have compacted soils that hold water along sidewalks and driveways. Overgrown edges trap mulch and weeds against foundations, create tripping hazards, and make lawns look tired even when grass is healthy. Landlords need quick turnovers and low-maintenance solutions; homeowners want safer paths, cleaner curb appeal, and fewer weekend chores. Sustainable practices — electric trimmers, hand weeding, mulching, and fabric where appropriate — reduce runoff and avoid chemicals. Our focus is neat, functional edges that improve drainage, limit moss, and give planting beds a durable border so your yard stays tidy between visits.
