Mercer Island Slope & Fence-Line Overgrowth Clearing Services
Is your yard becoming a jungle? Don’t worry! We specialize in slope and fence-line clearing that’s not only safe and efficient but also transforms your outdoor space into a stunning haven. Let’s reclaim your yard together!
What’s the Problem?
Overgrown brush can lead to some real headaches, including:
- Invasive plants like blackberry and ivy creeping over fences and invading your garden.
- Blocked sightlines at driveways and alleys, making deliveries a hassle.
- Erosion issues on slopes, where heavy vines cause soil to slide away after storms.
- Roots invading your flower beds from the neighbor’s overgrown yard.
- The frustrating “mow and hope” strategy that leads to thicker regrowth month after month.
How We Clear (and Keep It Clear)
Our comprehensive process ensures we manage overgrowth while promoting a sustainable landscape:
- Sectional Cut & Haul — We use brush cutters and chainsaws with care, especially on slopes, to manage cuts effectively.
- Root Work — Our team meticulously removes blackberry crowns, ivy runners, and broom taproots, minimizing soil disturbance while getting to the root of the problem.
- Fence-Line Detailing — We dig along footings to create a solid barrier against invasive runners, making sure they don’t come back.
- Stabilization — We employ jute/coir netting and secure it with pins, then apply 2–3” of mulch to protect your soil from erosion.
- Replanting — We handpick dense, slope-friendly groundcovers and shrubs that help shade the soil and curb future regrowth.
- Debris Disposal — We can chip debris right on-site if that’s your preference, or haul it all away to green waste, ensuring no unsightly piles are left behind.
And of course, we always call 811 before digging—safety first! We’re also well-versed in local regulations, so you can rest easy knowing everything’s done by the book.
Our Annual Maintenance Plan (Your Yard’s New Best Friend)
Want your yard to shine all year round? Our tailored maintenance plan is here for you:
- Resprout Sweeps — Scheduled cuts every 4–8 weeks during the growing season to effectively drain root reserves and keep things tidy.
- Edge Patrol — We keep an eye on fence bottoms, rockeries, and neighbor lines to catch unwanted regrowth before it starts.
- Mulch Management — Regular checks and maintenance of mulch coverage, keeping it clear of trunks and siding for that polished look.
- Selective Spot-Treatments (optional) — We prioritize Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and only treat as necessary.
- Replant Care — Newly planted areas get the TLC they need with proper watering and quick shaping, filling in any gaps as necessary.
We take pride in being a low-maintenance landscaping crew. Our mission? Fewer problems between visits and less work for you!
Service Cadences (Customize Your Care)
Choose a service frequency that fits your lifestyle:
- Quarterly — A thorough spring/fall clean, followed by two follow-up sweeps to keep everything in check.
- Bi-Monthly — Strikes the perfect balance for managing active regrowth and hedge pressures.
(If you’re dealing with heavy infestations, we recommend starting monthly for 60–90 days, then tapering down to your preferred schedule.)
What Annual Maintenance Includes
With our annual maintenance, you can count on:
- Safety setups on slopes (rope access when necessary).
- Comprehensive crown/root-runner management along fences and banks.
- Slope stabilization through jute/coir and mulch top-ups.
- Clearly defined edges to keep beds and paths distinct.
- Regular photo updates and a handy resprout log to track your yard’s progress.
Why Annual Maintenance Matters
Investing in regular maintenance brings a host of benefits:
- Prevents Recurrences — Timed interventions starve roots rather than feeding them.
- Erosion Control — Stabilization and plant cover keep your soil where it belongs.
- Safer Access — Clear sightlines for driveways, alleys, and steps enhance safety.
- Cost-Effective — Frequent, small interventions are far cheaper than extensive reclaim jobs.
