Renton Slope & Fence-Line Overgrowth Clearing Services

Is your yard feeling more like a jungle than a sanctuary? At Neat & Tidy, we specialize in slope and fence-line clearing that’s not just effective but also safe and eco-friendly. We’re here to help your outdoor space shine and keep future overgrowth at bay!


What’s the Problem?

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

  • Invasive plants like blackberry and ivy invading your fences and property.
  • Obstructed sightlines at driveways and alleys, complicating deliveries and access.
  • Erosion issues on slopes, where invasive vines can cause soil to wash away during storms.
  • Roots intruding from neighbor yards, creeping under fences and into your flower beds.
  • Relying on a “mow and hope” strategy that only leads to thicker regrowth.

How We Clear (and Keep It Clear)

Our comprehensive process is designed to tackle overgrowth and maintain a sustainable landscape for your property:

  • Sectional Cut & Haul — We utilize brush cutters and chainsaws to manage cuts strategically, especially on those tricky slopes.
  • Root Work — Our team meticulously grubs out stubborn blackberry crowns, ivy runners, and broom taproots while minimizing soil disturbance.
  • Fence-Line Detail — We dig out along fence footings and create clean edges to prevent invasive plants from sneaking back in.
  • Stabilization — We employ jute/coir netting and secure it with pins, topped with 2–3” of mulch to stabilize your soil.
  • Replanting — We choose robust, slope-friendly groundcovers and shrubs that help shade the soil and reduce the chance of regrowth.
  • Disposal — Prefer a tidy yard? We can chip debris on-site or haul it away to green waste, ensuring no unsightly “re-root” piles are left behind.

We always call 811 before any digging, and we’re well-versed in local regulations regarding street trees, right-of-way, and critical areas. You can rest easy knowing everything is done by the book!


Our Annual Maintenance Plan (Your Yard’s Routine)

Want to keep your yard looking its best all year long? Our tailored maintenance plan has got you covered:

  • Resprout Sweeps — Regular cuts every 4–8 weeks during the growing season to effectively drain root reserves.
  • Edge Patrol — We keep an eye on fence bottoms, rockery seams, and neighbor lines to prevent unwanted regrowth.
  • Mulch Management — We ensure your mulch coverage is even, keeping it clear of trunks and siding.
  • Selective Spot-Treatments (optional) — Our approach prioritizes Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and we treat only when absolutely necessary.
  • Replant Care — Newly planted areas receive the attention they need, including watering and shaping to fill in any gaps.

We’re all about being a low-maintenance landscaping crew. Our mission? Fewer problems between visits and less work for you!


Service Cadences (Pick What Fits)

Decide how often you’d like our services:

  • Quarterly — Enjoy a thorough spring/fall clean with two follow-up sweeps.
  • Bi-Monthly — A balanced approach for managing active regrowth and hedge pressure.

(Facing heavy infestations? We recommend starting with monthly services for 60–90 days, then tapering down.)


What Annual Maintenance Includes

When you choose our annual maintenance, you can expect:

  • Safety setups on slopes, including rope access where necessary.
  • Comprehensive management of crowns and root-runners 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 simple resprout log to track your yard’s progress.

Why Annual Maintenance Matters

Investing in regular maintenance offers a multitude of benefits:

  • Stops the Come-Back — Timed interventions starve roots rather than feed them, keeping your yard fresh.
  • Prevents Erosion — Stabilization and plant cover ensure your soil stays put.
  • Safer Access — Clear sightlines improve safety at driveways, alleys, and steps.
  • Lower Costs — Frequent, minor interventions are much more economical than major reclaim jobs.

How It Works

We make the process easy 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 smooth operation.
  3. Service Day — Our team handles cutting, grubbing, hauling, stabilizing, replanting, and cleaning 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.
