Burien Replenish sand/gravel paths

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien’s heavy winters, clay-rich soils, and frequent overcast months mean paths settle, wash out, and grow moss or ivy quickly. Sloped yards near Seahurst Park or Lake Burien drain water down walkways, eroding sand and compacted fines and creating uneven, slippery surfaces that are a liability for tenants and guests. Homeowners and landlords often want safe, low‑maintenance access without paving everything, keeping a natural look while reducing long‑term upkeep. Goals are usually better drainage, tidy edges, reduced weeds, and a stable walking surface that survives seasonal rain and foot traffic.

Our Quality Service

We assess existing paths, remove weeds and debris by hand, and add the correct sand or gravel mix for your slope and drainage needs. Materials are compacted and edged to hold profiles through wet seasons, and we use sustainable practices only — no herbicides — with organic weed control as an option. This reduces repeat visits, improves curb appeal, and delivers long‑lasting, safer surfaces for tenants and family.

What’s Included

  • Site assessment and photos
  • Hand weed removal and debris haul
  • Replenish sand/gravel, compacting, and clean edging
  • Optional upgrades: mulch + fabric, organic weed control, decorative gravel
  • Disposal options: haul-away vs. green‑bin composting

Before & After / Expectations

After service expect immediate improved stability; new material settles over a few weeks. Control moss with light sanding, improve drainage on slopes, and watch for ivy regrowth — remove by hand early to prevent reinfestation.

FAQs

  • How long does a job take? Small paths: 1–3 hours; larger areas vary.
  • When is best to service? Late spring or early fall avoids saturated winter ground.
  • Are chemicals used? No — we use only sustainable, non‑chemical methods.
  • How often needed? Quarterly or bi‑monthly if high traffic; monthly for rentals.
