Burien Creeping jenny removal

Homeowner’s Issue

Creeping Jenny spreads rapidly in the damp, mild climate around Burien, thriving in compacted, poorly drained soils and shaded corners. Many homes on hillsides and in older neighborhoods near Des Moines Creek Park see it creeping into beds, lawn edges, and planter pockets where it smothers desirable plants and hides uneven ground.

Frequent rain and north-side shade encourage moss as well as Creeping Jenny, and root fragments left behind will resprout after short attempts at removal. Landlords and homeowners often want low-maintenance solutions that improve drainage, reduce slip hazards on slopes, and restore curb appeal without relying on chemicals. Our approach focuses on manual removal, soil improvement, and durable planting choices so fences, paths, and rental yards stay tidy longer with fewer visits.

Our Quality Service

We remove Creeping Jenny by hand and with targeted digging, then condition soil to reduce future invasions. Work is scheduled to avoid muddy conditions, and we favor plants and groundcovers that tolerate Burien’s wet winters and summer drier spells.

Benefits include improved safety on slopes, better drainage, lasting curb appeal, and lower ongoing maintenance needs.

What’s Included

• Area assessment and infestation map
• Manual removal and root extraction
• Soil loosening and amendment where needed
• Clean-up and responsible disposal
• Optional upgrades:
  • Mulch + fabric to suppress regrowth
  • Organic weed control and spot treatments (no herbicides)
  • Haul-away vs. green bin disposal

Before & After / Expectations

After removal expect exposed soil and some follow-up weeding for 6–12 weeks while root fragments resprout. Replace with low-maintenance plants or mulch to reduce water pooling and cut future work. In Burien yards, watch shady corners for moss and ivy regrowth; improving airflow and adding mulch helps.
