Burien Slope Clearing
Homeowner’s Issue
Sloped yards around homes and rentals in Burien often face persistent erosion, moss, and patchy plants due to our heavy winters and late‑season rains. Many slopes sit on compacted glacial soils, have poor drainage, or receive uneven sun and shade because of north‑facing exposures and tree canopies near Seahurst Park. Landlords and homeowners want safe, low‑maintenance slopes that don’t wash out or require weekly attention. Typical problems include invasive ivy and blackberry regrowth, clogged drainage lines, and unstable surfacing after storms. Our approach focuses on stabilizing soil, improving drainage, and choosing plants that thrive here so you get long‑lasting results with less work.
Our Quality Service
We clear excess vegetation, remove debris, and stabilize slopes using sustainable, chemical‑free methods. Work is done with hand tools and small machinery where appropriate to limit disturbance, add mulch or geotextile where helpful, and plant native groundcovers that hold soil. Benefits include safer walkways, improved curb appeal, and lower ongoing costs for landlords and busy homeowners.

FAQs
- How long does a job take? Most residential slopes finish in a day or two; larger sites may need staged visits.
- Do you use herbicides? No — we use sustainable, non‑chemical methods only.
- Is access needed? A clear 3–4 ft path for crew and small tools is ideal; we can plan around limited access.
