Burien Remove storm-damaged small trees
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien sees windy, rainy winters and occasional summer storms that can snap limbs or uproot small trees. Many yards here sit on compacted loam or shallow soils with slopes toward Puget Sound, which can worsen root exposure and drainage issues. Moss and ivy are common in shaded pockets, and renters or landlords often need quick, safe fixes that don’t create follow-up hazards. Homeowners want three things after a storm: remove the hazard, restore safe access, and keep maintenance low. Whether you’re near Seahurst Park, on a windy bluff, or in a tight Highline lot, careful removal helps prevent further erosion, protects structures, and preserves curb appeal. We focus on sustainable, non-chemical approaches—wood-chipping, composting, and green-bin disposal—so your yard is safe for kids, tenants, and local wildlife.
Our Quality Service
We inspect storm damage, recommend removal or selective pruning, and choose methods that suit local slopes and soils. Work is done to minimize soil disturbance and reduce re-sprouting, using hand tools, chainsaws, and stump grinding when needed. Benefits include improved safety, better curb appeal, and lower long-term upkeep.
What’s Included
- Onsite assessment and written recommendation

Before & After / Expectations
After removal, expect some disturbed soil and fresh wood chips. Water newly seeded areas lightly; keep mulch layers 2–3 inches deep. Watch for ivy or suckering roots—repeat hand-pulling in spring helps prevent regrowth.
