Burien End-of-season garden cleanup
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien yards see heavy autumn rain, frequent cloud cover, and lots of shade from maples and evergreens. That combination encourages moss, compacted soil, and slow drainage in low spots, while south-facing slopes dry and erode faster. Many homeowners and landlords want tidy curb appeal, safer walkways, and lower maintenance between visits.
Common problems we address are matted leaves that smother lawns, woody perennial dieback, ivy or moss creeping into beds, and clogged drains from organic debris. Rentals and older properties often need a focused cleanup to reduce pest habitat and limit future work. Our approach prioritizes soil health and long-term resilience—hand weeding, compost-based soil amendment, and mulch layers that reduce regrowth—so yards need less chemical input and fewer repeat visits.

Before & After / Expectations
