White Center Yard Waste Removal

Homeowner’s Issue

Seattle’s climate and soils make yard waste both a chore and an opportunity. In White Center we get frequent rain, clay‑heavy pockets, and shaded lawns near Westcrest Park that hold moisture and encourage moss, slugs, and thatch build‑up. Many yards slope toward houses or driveways, so leaves and branch piles can clog drainage, create slippery walkways, and trigger HOA complaints about curb appeal and fire safety. Sun‑exposed spots dry quickly and show dead grass from seasonal pruning, while shady hollows invite ivy and persistent weeds. Homeowners here often need regular clearing after winter storms, spring cleanups to remove last season’s debris, and smart hauling so cuttings don’t sit in the alley or on the sidewalk. We focus on reducing mess, improving surface drainage on slopes, and keeping yards low‑maintenance and HOA‑friendly while using sustainable methods that avoid herbicides.

Our Quality Service

I’ve been landscaping Seattle for 15 years and run a small crew that treats yard waste as a resource. We collect branches, leaves, grass clippings, and small woody debris, sort what can be composted, and haul the rest responsibly. Because White Center sees heavy fall and winter rainfall, we time jobs to avoid compacting soggy soil and to protect root systems on slopes. We don’t use herbicides — everything is mechanical, manual, or composted. Benefits include safer walkways, better curb appeal, fewer mosquitos and moldy piles, and less work for you in the long run.

What’s Included

• Onsite assessment and quick estimate
• Raking, bagging, and collection of leaves, clippings, branches (up to 4” diameter)

Options / Upgrades:

• Mulch + fabric installation for beds
• Compost pick‑up and delivery
• Organic, mechanical weed control for beds and paths
• Haul‑away vs. green‑bin dropoff (we’ll advise local pickup rules)

Before & After / Expectations

Be upfront about access—driveway or alley access makes jobs faster. Expect some noise (chippers, blowers) and a short‑term pile while we sort material. We aim to leave yards tidy and usable the same day. After we clear a site, simple care helps results last: keep mulch 2–3” deep, water newly exposed root areas lightly, pull ivy at the base to prevent regrowth, and monitor shaded spots for moss. For slopes, add mulch and small swales to help drainage and reduce erosion.

FAQs

• How long until you can start?
  Usually within a week for standard cleanups; sooner after storms depending on crew availability.

• Do you compost on site?
  We separate compostable material and either load it for municipal green‑bin dropoff or deliver to commercial composting — no backyard burning.

• Will you remove big logs or stumps?
  We handle branches up to 4” diameter. Large logs or stump removal require a custom quote.

• Do you follow HOA rules?
  Yes — we’ll check common HOA guidelines (pile size, curb placement) and stage material accordingly.
