Kent Slope & Fence-Line Overgrowth Clearing Services

Is your yard being overwhelmed by unruly brush? Fear not! Our team specializes in slope and fence-line clearing that’s not only safe and efficient but also designed to give your outdoor space a fresh, tidy look while preventing future overgrowth.


What’s the Problem?

Overgrown brush can create quite a mess, leading to:

  • Invasive plants such as blackberry and ivy taking over your fences and gardens.
  • Blocked sightlines at driveways and alleys, causing hassle for deliveries and guests.
  • Erosion on slopes, where vine mats can lead to bark and gravel sliding away after heavy rains.
  • Roots creeping under fences and into your flower beds, courtesy of your neighbor’s garden.
  • Relying on a “mow and hope” strategy that inevitably leads to denser regrowth every month.

How We Clear (and Keep It Clear)

Our detailed process is designed to effectively tackle overgrowth while ensuring a sustainable landscape for your property:

  • Sectional Cut & Haul — Our team uses brush cutters and chainsaws to carefully manage cuts, especially on those tricky slopes.
  • Root Work — We meticulously grub out stubborn blackberry crowns, ivy runners, and broom taproots with minimal soil disturbance.
  • Fence-Line Detail — We dig out along footings and create clean edges to prevent invasive runners from making a comeback.
  • Stabilization — We employ jute/coir netting and pinning, topped with 2–3” of mulch to keep your soil secure and stable.
  • Replanting — We select dense, slope-friendly groundcovers and shrubs that help shade the soil, effectively reducing regrowth.
  • Disposal — We can chip debris right on-site (if you prefer) or haul it away to green waste, ensuring no “re-root” piles are left behind.

We always call 811 before digging and are well-versed in 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 its best year-round with our tailored maintenance plan. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Resprout Sweeps — Scheduled cuts every 4–8 weeks during the growing season to effectively drain root reserves and keep growth in check.
  • Edge Patrol — We keep an eye on fence bottoms, rockery seams, and neighbor lines to stop unwanted regrowth in its tracks.
  • Mulch Management — Regular checks to maintain even mulch coverage, ensuring it stays clear of trunks and siding.
  • Selective Spot Treatments (optional) — We prioritize Integrated Pest Management (IPM) first and only treat when absolutely necessary.
  • Replant Care — We’ll make sure newly planted areas get the right amount of water 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 (Choose What Works for You)

Pick a service frequency that best meets your needs:

  • Quarterly — A comprehensive spring/fall clean followed by two follow-up sweeps.
  • Bi-Monthly — A great balance for managing active regrowth and hedge pressure.

(If you’re dealing with heavy infestations, we recommend starting monthly 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 where necessary).
  • Comprehensive crown/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 an easy-to-understand resprout log to track your yard’s progress.

Why Annual Maintenance Matters

Investing in regular maintenance offers a range 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 and steps enhance safety for you and your guests.
  • Lower Costs — Frequent, small interventions are much more economical than pricey reclamation jobs.

How It Works

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

  1. Free Estimate — We’ll provide clear, upfront pricing based on your yard’s unique needs, using photos or a quick walkthrough.
  2. Plan the Phases — We’ll discuss access, haul paths, fence strategies, and slope care to ensure a seamless operation.
  3. Service Day — Our diligent team will cut, grub, haul, stabilize, replant, and clean up—all while treating your property with utmost respect.
  4. Follow-Up — Enjoy scheduled sweeps and easy add-ons (like mulch, drip irrigation, or plant fill-ins) as necessary.
