Normandy Park Slope & Fence-Line Overgrowth Clearing Services

Is your yard becoming a jungle? 🌿 Fear not! At Neat & Tidy Landscaping, we specialize in slope and fence-line clearing that is not only safe and efficient but also makes your outdoor space shine! Let’s reclaim your yard and keep it looking fantastic while preventing future overgrowth.


What’s the Problem?

Overgrown brush can bring a whole host of headaches, including:

  • Invasive plants like blackberry and ivy invading fences and sheds.
  • Obstructed sightlines at driveways and alleys, complicating deliveries.
  • Erosion on slopes as vine mats lead to bark and gravel sliding away after storms.
  • Roots creeping under fences and into your flower beds from your neighbor’s yard.
  • A frustrating “mow and hope” strategy that only thickens the regrowth each month.

How We Clear (and Keep It Clear)

Our approach is designed to effectively manage 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 invasive plants like blackberry crowns, ivy runners, and broom taproots with minimal soil disturbance, keeping your landscape intact.
  • Fence-Line Detail — We dig out along footings and create barriers to stop invasive runners from sneaking back into your yard.
  • Stabilization — Using jute/coir netting and a topping of 2–3” of mulch, we secure your soil and prevent erosion.
  • Replanting — We select dense, slope-friendly groundcovers and shrubs that help shade the soil, making it tougher for those pesky weeds to return.
  • Disposal — We can chip debris right on-site (if you prefer) or haul it away to green waste, ensuring your property remains tidy with no leftover “re-root” piles.

We always call 811 before digging and ensure we adhere to local regulations regarding street trees, right-of-way, and critical areas. We take care of everything responsibly!


Our Annual Maintenance Plan (Your Yard’s Routine)

Keep your outdoor oasis looking its best all year round with our tailored maintenance plan:

  • Resprout Sweeps — Scheduled cuts every 4–8 weeks during the growing season, effectively draining root reserves and keeping the regrowth in check.
  • Edge Patrol — We keep an eye on fence bottoms, rockery seams, and neighbor lines to prevent unwanted regrowth from taking hold.
  • 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) first and treat only when absolutely necessary.
  • Replant Care — Newly planted areas receive attentive watering and shaping, filling in any gaps promptly.

Our team prides itself on being a low-maintenance landscaping crew. Our goal? To minimize problems between visits and reduce the workload for you!


Service Cadences (Pick What Fits)

Choose a service frequency that best fits your lifestyle and yard’s needs:

  • Quarterly — A comprehensive spring/fall clean, followed by two follow-up sweeps to keep everything in check.
  • Bi-Monthly — A balanced approach 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 to a more manageable routine.)


What Annual Maintenance Includes

With our annual maintenance, you can expect:

  • Safety setups on slopes (including rope access where necessary) for peace of mind.
  • Comprehensive crown/root-runner management along fences and banks to ensure long-term health.
  • Slope stabilization through jute/coir and mulch top-ups to keep everything secure.
  • Defined edges to maintain distinct paths and flower beds, enhancing your yard’s aesthetics.
  • Regular photo updates and a simple resprout log to help you 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, ensuring a healthier landscape.
  • 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 reclamation jobs later on.

How It Works

Here’s how we make the process seamless 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 smooth operation.
  3. Service Day — Our friendly 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) as needed to keep everything looking fabulous.
