Burien Clean Walkways

Homeowner’s Issue

Seattle’s south‑sound microclimate hits Burien hard: frequent rain, shaded lots, and compacted clay soils encourage moss, algae, and slippery paths. Steep driveways and drainage that channels runoff across walkways make surfaces degrade faster and create slip risks for tenants or visitors. Landlords and homeowners often want safe, low‑maintenance paths that still look good for curb appeal, but routine power washing alone can damage older pavers or wash soil from beds. Our approach balances gentle mechanical cleaning, manual weeding, and biodegradable treatments to slow regrowth while protecting nearby plants and slopes. Goals tend to be practical: reduce slips, cut recurring maintenance, and present tidy entrances for rentals or resale without relying on harsh chemicals.

Our Quality Service

We tailor every job to Burien conditions — light pressure washing where safe, hand-scraping in fragile areas, and organic moss control that won’t harm soil life. We account for slope and runoff to avoid moving problems downslope. Benefits include improved safety, cleaner curb appeal, less frequent upkeep, and longer-lasting surfaces when drainage and edges are addressed.

What’s Included

• Debris sweep and gutter/edge clearing.
• Pressure or soft‑wash cleaning depending on surface.
• Manual moss, algae, and weed removal (no herbicides).
• Light stain treatment with biodegradable cleaners.
• Final inspection and simple repair recommendations.

Optional upgrades:

• Mulch + landscape fabric for beds.
• Organic weed control packages.
• Haul-away of debris or green‑bin composting disposal.

Before & After / Expectations

After cleaning, expect cleaner traction within 24–48 hours and reduced moss for months if shade and moisture are managed. Regrowth is common in dense shade; plan seasonal touch‑ups.

Care tips:

• Improve drainage away from walkways.
• Trim overhanging branches to increase sun and air.
• Reapply mulch and check fabric annually to suppress weeds.

FAQs

• How long does a job take? Small walkways: a few hours; larger or tiled areas may take a day.
• Do you use herbicides? No — we use manual removal and biodegradable cleaners only.
• Will water runoff harm slopes? We manage flow and protect beds; ask about edge repairs.
• Can you work around tenants? Yes — we schedule to minimize disruption and secure access.
