Burien Spot spray dandelions

Homeowner’s Issue

Dandelions thrive in the Pacific Northwest’s long, damp springs and shaded lawns. In Burien many yards face compacted, peaty soils, heavy canopy shade, and slopes that hold soggy pockets—conditions that let dandelions and moss spread quickly. Landlords and homeowners often want safe, low-maintenance solutions that work around tenants, kids, and pets while addressing drainage and erosion on slopes or bermed beds. Near Seahurst Park and neighboring Normandy Park, properties with older soil and limited sun see recurring patches each season. Tenants expect tidy curb appeal; owners want fewer repeat visits and long-term results. A focused, sustainable approach—combining targeted spot treatments, hand removal, and cultural fixes like aeration and mulch—keeps dandelions from dominating without broad chemical use. This guide explains practical steps you can expect and the simple maintenance that keeps a Burien yard healthy and tenant-ready.

Our Quality Service

We use low-impact, organic contact solutions combined with targeted hand-weeding and cultural repairs. Treatments focus only on dandelion patches, protecting turf, shrubs, and nearby plantings. We factor in slope, runoff, and the typical wet-season timing to reduce repeat growth, improve drainage, and keep landscapes safe for families and pets. Benefits include improved curb appeal, reduced maintenance between visits, greater safety, and longer-lasting results.

What’s Included

  • Site assessment and identification of dandelion hotspots
  • Targeted, organic contact treatment and hand-pulling where needed
  • Light lawn cleanup and debris removal
  • Follow-up check and simple care recommendations

Optional upgrades:

  • Mulch + fabric for beds
  • Organic weed-control spot treatments
  • Aeration and soil testing
  • Haul-away or green bin disposal

Before & After / Expectations

After treatment you’ll see yellowing and die-back in 7–14 days; hand-pulled roots reduce regrowth. For Burien yards, keep mowing at higher heights, limit overwatering, and add mulch to beds to discourage seed spread. Expect some regrowth from deep roots—plan a follow-up visit in 6–8 weeks during peak seasons.

FAQs

  • How long until I see results? Visible decline in 7–14 days; full reduction often needs 1–2 follow-ups.
  • Do you use harsh chemicals? No — we use sustainable, non-synthetic contact methods and hand removal only.
  • Can you access rental properties between tenants? Yes; we coordinate access and quick visits to minimize vacancy delays.
  • What if it rains? We schedule around wet weather to ensure treatments take effect.
