Edmonds Slope & Fence-Line Overgrowth Clearing Services

Is your yard getting swallowed up by wild brush? We’re here to help! Our slope and fence-line clearing services are safe and efficient, transforming your outdoor space into a neat and inviting area while preventing pesky overgrowth from returning.


What’s the Problem?

Overgrown brush can lead to a variety of challenges, including:

  • Invasive plants like blackberry and ivy creeping over fences and into your garden.
  • Obstructed sightlines at driveways and alleys, making it tricky for deliveries and visitors.
  • Erosion on slopes as tangled vines wash away gravel and bark during storms.
  • Roots invading your flower beds from neighboring properties, taking nutrients and space.
  • The ineffective “mow and hope” strategy, resulting in thicker regrowth every month.

How We Clear (And Keep It Clear)

Our tried-and-true process is designed to tackle overgrowth while promoting a sustainable landscape:

  • Sectional Cut & Haul — We use brush cutters and chainsaws to carefully manage cuts, especially on slopes where safety is key.
  • Root Work — Our team meticulously grubs out stubborn blackberry crowns, ivy runners, and broom taproots with minimal disturbance to the soil.
  • Fence-Line Detail — We dig along footings and create clean edges to prevent invasive plants from sneaking back into your yard.
  • Stabilization — Using jute/coir netting and a layer of 2–3” mulch, we keep your soil secure and reduce erosion.
  • Replanting — We choose hardy, slope-friendly groundcovers and shrubs that shade the soil, further deterring regrowth.
  • Disposal — We can chip debris right on-site (if you prefer) or haul it away to green waste, making sure no unwanted “re-root” piles are left behind.

Rest assured, we always call 811 before digging, and we’re fully informed about local regulations regarding street trees, right-of-way, and critical areas—everything is done by the book!


Our Annual Maintenance Plan (Your Yard’s Best Friend)

Keep your yard looking fabulous year-round with our customized maintenance plan:

  • Resprout Sweeps — Scheduled cuts every 4–8 weeks during the growing season to deplete root reserves effectively.
  • Edge Patrol — We monitor fence bottoms, rockery seams, and neighbor lines to catch unwanted regrowth early.
  • Mulch Management — Regular checks ensure even mulch coverage, keeping it clear of trunks and siding for a polished look.
  • Selective Spot Treatments (optional) — We prioritize Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and only treat when absolutely necessary.
  • Replant Care — Newly planted areas receive the attention they need, ensuring proper watering and shaping to fill in gaps.

We pride ourselves on being a low-maintenance landscaping crew—our goal? Fewer issues between visits and less work for you!


Service Cadences (Pick What Fits)

Choose a service frequency that best meets your needs:

  • Quarterly — A comprehensive spring/fall clean, followed by two follow-up sweeps.
  • Bi-Monthly — A balanced approach for managing active regrowth and keeping hedges in check.

(If you’re dealing with heavy infestations, we recommend starting with monthly visits for 60–90 days, then tapering down.)


What Annual Maintenance Includes

With our annual maintenance, you can expect:

  • Safety setups on slopes (including rope access when needed).
  • Thorough crown and root-runner management along fences and banks.
  • Slope stabilization through jute/coir and mulch top-ups.
  • Defined edges to keep beds and paths distinct and tidy.
  • Regular photo updates and a simple resprout log to track your yard’s progress.

Why Annual Maintenance Matters

Investing in regular maintenance comes with a host of benefits:

  • Stops the Come-Back — Timed interventions starve roots instead of feeding them.
  • Prevents Erosion — Stabilization and plant cover keep your soil securely in place.
  • Safer Access — Clear sightlines for driveways, alleys, and steps enhance safety for you and your guests.
  • Lower Costs — Frequent, small interventions are much more economical than costly reclaim jobs down the line.

How It Works

Here’s how we keep the process smooth and hassle-free for you:

  1. Free Estimate — We’ll provide a clear, upfront pricing based on your yard’s unique needs, using photos or a quick walkthrough.
  2. Plan the Phases — Together, we’ll discuss access, haul paths, fence strategies, and slope care to ensure everything goes off without a hitch.
  3. Service Day — Our team will cut, grub, haul, stabilize, replant, and clean up—all while treating your property with the utmost respect.
  4. Follow-Up — Enjoy scheduled sweeps and easy add-ons (like mulch, drip irrigation, or plant fill-ins) whenever you need them.
