Bothell Slope & Fence-Line Overgrowth Clearing Services
Is your yard being overtaken by unruly brush? At Neat & Tidy, we specialize in slope and fence-line clearing that’s not just safe and efficient, but also tailored for the unique challenges of Bothell’s beautiful landscapes. Let us help you reclaim your outdoor space while preventing future overgrowth!
What’s the Problem?
Overgrown brush can create a myriad of headaches, including:
- Invasive plants like blackberry and ivy creeping over fences and invading your garden.
- Blocked sightlines at driveways and alleyways, complicating deliveries and access.
- Erosion on slopes as vine mats contribute to soil slipping away during heavy rains.
- Roots encroaching from neighboring properties into your carefully curated flower beds.
- The dreaded “mow and hope” approach that leads to even thicker regrowth month after month.
How We Clear (and Keep It Clear)
Our process is designed to effectively manage overgrowth while ensuring a sustainable and beautiful landscape:
- Sectional Cut & Haul — We utilize brush cutters and chainsaws to precisely manage cuts on slopes, prioritizing safety and efficiency.
- Root Work — Our team delves deep to grub out blackberry crowns, ivy runners, and broom taproots with minimal disturbance to your soil.
- Fence-Line Detail — We dig out along footings and create clean edges to prevent invasive runners from sneaking back into your yard.
- Stabilization — We use eco-friendly jute or coir netting, topped with 2–3” of mulch to secure your soil and prevent erosion.
- Replanting — We handpick dense, slope-friendly groundcovers and shrubs that shade the soil, helping to reduce regrowth naturally.
- Disposal — Whether you prefer us to chip debris on-site or haul it away to green waste, we ensure no “re-root” piles are left behind.
We always call 811 before digging, and we’re well-versed in local regulations regarding street trees, right-of-way, and critical areas. We ensure everything is done by the book!
Our Annual Maintenance Plan (Your Yard’s Routine)
Keep your yard looking its absolute best year-round with our tailored maintenance plan designed specifically for Bothell’s climate and soil conditions:
- Resprout Sweeps — We schedule cuts every 4–8 weeks during the growing season to effectively drain root reserves and prevent regrowth.
- Edge Patrol — Our team regularly monitors fence bottoms, rockery seams, and neighbor lines to thwart unwanted regrowth.
- Mulch Management — We maintain even mulch coverage, keeping it clear of trunks and siding for a neat appearance.
- Selective Spot-Treatments (optional) — We prioritize Integrated Pest Management (IPM) first and treat only when absolutely necessary.
- Replant Care — Newly planted areas receive special attention to ensure proper watering and shaping, filling in any gaps as needed.
We pride ourselves on being a low-maintenance landscaping crew. Our goal? Fewer problems between visits and less work for you!
Service Cadences (Pick What Fits)
Choose a service frequency that best suits your needs:
- Quarterly — Enjoy a comprehensive spring and fall clean, followed by two follow-up sweeps for ongoing maintenance.
- Bi-Monthly — A great balance for managing active regrowth and maintaining hedge pressure.
(If you’re facing heavy infestations, we recommend kicking off with monthly visits for 60–90 days, then tapering down to your preferred frequency.)
What Annual Maintenance Includes
With our annual maintenance, you can expect:
- Safety setups on slopes (including rope access when necessary).
- Comprehensive crown/root-runner management along fences and banks.
- Slope stabilization using jute/coir and regular mulch top-ups.
- Defined edges to keep your flower beds and pathways looking sharp.
- Regular photo updates and a simple resprout log to track your yard’s progress.
Why Annual Maintenance Matters
Investing in regular maintenance provides a wealth of benefits:
- Stops the Come-Back — Timed interventions starve roots rather than feed them, keeping your yard tidy.
- Prevents Erosion — Stabilization and plant cover keep your soil securely in place, protecting your property.
- Safer Access — Clear sightlines for driveways, alleys, and steps enhance safety for you and your guests.
- Lower Costs — Frequent, small interventions are far more economical than expensive reclaim jobs down the line.

- Free Estimate — We’ll provide a clear, upfront pricing based on your yard’s unique needs, utilizing photos or a quick walkthrough.
