Weed Removal in Seattle: Hand Pulling, Hauling, Mulch, and Poison Hemlock Safety

Landscaping

Weeds are one of the biggest headaches for Seattle homeowners. Between our rainy winters and sunny summers, invasive plants like blackberry, ivy, and even poison hemlock can spread fast. At Lee’s General Landscaping, we provide professional weed removal services that go beyond just trimming the surface — we get to the root of the problem and keep your yard looking sharp.


Hand Pulling with Professional Tools

The most effective way to stop weeds is to remove them by the roots. Our crew uses commercial-grade weed pullers, digging knives, and heavy-duty hoes to clear out unwanted growth quickly and thoroughly. Hand pulling is especially important around garden beds, pathways, and areas where kids or pets play, since it avoids the risks of chemical sprays.


Full Removal and Haul-Away Service

We don’t leave piles of weeds behind for you to deal with. Every cleanup includes bagging and hauling away debris to local recycling and compost facilities. Whether it’s ivy crawling through a fence line or a yard full of blackberry canes, we’ve got the trucks and trailers to handle it.


Mulch Installation for Long-Term Weed Control

After weeds are cleared, the best way to keep them from coming back is mulch. We install a 2–3 inch layer of bark, wood chips, or compost mulch, with or without landscape fabric underneath.

Benefits of mulch include:

  • Preventing new weed growth by blocking sunlight
  • Conserving soil moisture through Seattle’s dry summer months
  • Regulating soil temperature for healthier plants
  • Giving your yard a clean, finished look

Adding mulch right after a weed removal service is the smart move for longer-lasting results.

Poison Hemlock: A Dangerous Invasive Weed

Seattle has its share of tough weeds, but poison hemlock is one you don’t want to handle yourself. This tall plant looks similar to Queen Anne’s lace but is highly toxic to people and pets. Contact with its sap can cause skin irritation, and ingestion is extremely dangerous.

Our team has the protective gear and training to safely remove poison hemlock. We pull it by the roots, carefully bag it, and dispose of it properly so it doesn’t spread.


Why Homeowners Choose Lee’s General Landscaping

DIY weed pulling can work for small patches, but once invasive plants start taking over, professional help saves time, prevents injuries, and keeps your landscape healthy.

  • Hand pulling with professional tools for root-level results
  • Complete debris haul-away — no mess left behind
