Lake City Slope & Fence-Line Overgrowth Clearing Services

Is your yard being overtaken by unruly brush? We specialize in slope and fence-line clearing that is not only safe but also efficient. Let us bring your outdoor space back to life, preventing future overgrowth in the process!


What’s the Problem?

Overgrown brush can create a host of issues, including:

  • Invasive plants like blackberry and ivy taking over fences and sheds.
  • Blocked sightlines at driveways and alleys, complicating deliveries and access.
  • Erosion on slopes, as vine mats lead to bark and gravel sliding away after storms.
  • Roots creeping under fences and invading your flower beds from neighboring properties.
  • Relying on a “mow and hope” strategy that leads to thicker regrowth every month.

How We Clear (and Keep It Clear)

Our process is expertly designed to manage overgrowth effectively while ensuring a sustainable landscape:

  • Sectional Cut & Haul — We use brush cutters and chainsaws to manage cuts carefully, especially on slopes.
  • Root Work — Our team meticulously grubs out blackberry crowns, ivy runners, and broom taproots, minimizing soil disturbance.
  • Fence-Line Detail — We dig along footings and create edges to keep invasive runners from sneaking back.
  • Stabilization — We utilize jute/coir netting and pinning, topped with 2–3” of mulch to keep your soil secure.
  • Replanting — We choose dense, slope-friendly groundcovers and shrubs that help shade the soil, reducing regrowth.
  • Disposal — We can chip debris on-site or haul it away to green waste, ensuring 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. You can count on us to do everything by the book!


Our Annual Maintenance Plan (Your Yard’s Routine)

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

  • Resprout Sweeps — Scheduled cuts every 4–8 weeks during the growing season to effectively drain root reserves.
  • Edge Patrol — We monitor fence bottoms, rockery seams, and neighbor lines to prevent unwanted regrowth.
  • Mulch Management — Regular checks and maintenance of even mulch coverage, keeping it clear of trunks and siding.
  • Selective Spot Treatments (optional) — We prioritize Integrated Pest Management (IPM) first and only treat when necessary.
  • Replant Care — We ensure newly planted areas receive proper water and quick 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 meets your needs:

  • Quarterly — A comprehensive spring/fall clean, followed by two follow-up sweeps to keep things tidy.
  • Bi-Monthly — Perfect for managing active regrowth and hedge pressure without overwhelming your schedule.

(If you’re facing 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 regular mulch top-ups.
  • Defined edges to keep beds and paths distinct.
  • Regular photo updates and a simple resprout log to track your yard’s progress.

Why Annual Maintenance Matters

Investing in regular maintenance provides numerous benefits:

  • Stops the Come-Back — Timed interventions starve roots rather than feed them.
  • Prevents Erosion — Stabilization and plant cover keep your soil securely in place.
  • Safer Access — Clear sightlines for driveways, alleys, and steps enhance safety.
  • Lower Costs — Frequent, small interventions are far more economical than expensive reclaim jobs.

How It Works

Here’s how we make the process seamless 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 — We’ll discuss access, haul paths, fence strategies, and slope care to ensure a smooth operation.
  3. Service Day — Our team will cut, grub, haul, stabilize, replant, and clean up—all while treating your property with respect.
  4. Follow-Up — Enjoy scheduled sweeps and easy add-ons (like mulch, drip irrigation, or plant fill-ins) as needed.
