Burien Full-property garden maintenance

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien yards face persistent moisture, shade, and compacted soils that encourage moss, ivy, and fast regrowth. Winter rains and spring flushes make mud, slope erosion, and clogged drains common problems for homeowners and landlords. Many properties near Seahurst Park or the Des Moines Creek corridor have steep sections and tree shade that limit sun and make turf thin and maintenance-heavy. Owners often want tidy, safe outdoor spaces that require less weekly work, reduce slip hazards, and hold up against seasonal storms. Our focus is practical: improve drainage, reduce recurring weeding with mechanical and organic methods, and set up low-maintenance beds that fit your goals—retail curb appeal for rentals or long-term plant health for owner-occupied homes.

Our Quality Service

We assess soil, slope, and existing plantings, then apply sustainable methods tuned to Burien’s maritime climate. Work includes hand-weeding, mechanical removal, mulching, composting, and selective pruning to improve air and light. Benefits include improved safety on slopes, better curb appeal, lower weekly upkeep, and longer-lasting results without chemical herbicides.

What’s Included

• Initial property assessment and plan
• Lawn mowing, edging, and turf repair guidance
• Pruning and selective thinning of shrubs and small trees
• Bed weeding, hand removal, and moss control
• Mulch installation (organic) and compost amendment

Before & After / Expectations

Expect clearer beds, less moss, and fewer weed returns after the first two visits. Maintain results with seasonal mulch refreshes, targeted watering, and occasional hand-weeding in shaded areas. Ivy regrowth is slower with regular follow-up and organic control methods.

FAQs

• How long does a visit take? Most routine visits are 1–3 hours depending on property size and scope.
• Do you use herbicides? No — we use sustainable, non-chemical methods only (hand-pulling, mulches, mechanical).
• Can you work on slopes and drainage? Yes; we offer simple erosion control and drainage tweaks to reduce runoff and pooling.
• What disposal options exist? Choose haul-away or green bin/composting to keep work sustainable.
