Sammamish Slope & Fence-Line Overgrowth Clearing Services

Is your yard battling unruly brush? Don’t let it take over! We specialize in slope and fence-line clearing that is not just effective but also eco-friendly, ensuring your outdoor oasis looks stunning while stopping future overgrowth in its tracks.


What’s the Problem?

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

  • Invasive plants like blackberry and ivy dominating your fences and garden.
  • Blocked sightlines at driveways and alleys, making it tough for deliveries and inviting unwelcome surprises.
  • Erosion on slopes, where vine mats can cause bark and gravel to wash away after storms.
  • Roots creeping under fences and invading your flower beds from neighboring yards.
  • Falling into the trap of a “mow and hope” strategy that only leads to thicker regrowth each month.

How We Clear (and Keep It Clear)

Our process is designed to tackle overgrowth effectively while ensuring your landscape remains sustainable:

  • Sectional Cut & Haul — We use professional-grade brush cutters and chainsaws for precise cuts, especially on slopes, to keep your yard safe and tidy.
  • Root Work — Carefully grub out blackberry crowns, ivy runners, and broom taproots while minimizing soil disturbance—because we believe in protecting your garden’s health.
  • Fence-Line Detail — We dig out along footings and create barriers to stop invasive plants from returning, keeping your property’s borders neat and tidy.
  • Stabilization — Utilizing jute/coir netting and a generous layer of 2–3” of mulch, we secure your soil and prevent erosion.
  • Replanting — We choose robust, slope-friendly groundcovers and shrubs that not only look good but also help keep the soil shaded and reduce regrowth.
  • Disposal — We can chip debris right on-site if you prefer that option or haul it away to green waste, ensuring your yard remains clutter-free.

Rest assured, we always call 811 before digging, and we’re well-versed in local regulations regarding street trees, right-of-way, and critical areas—so everything we do is above board!


Our Annual Maintenance Plan (Your Yard’s Routine)

Keep your yard looking its best throughout the year with our personalized maintenance plan:

  • Resprout Sweeps — We schedule cuts every 4–8 weeks during the growing season to keep roots from storing energy for new growth.
  • Edge Patrol — We keep an eye on fence bottoms, rockery seams, and neighboring lines to ensure unwanted regrowth doesn’t sneak up on you.
  • Mulch Management — Regular checks to maintain uniform mulch coverage, keeping it clear of trunks and siding for a polished look.
  • Selective Spot-Treatments (optional) — Our priority is Integrated Pest Management (IPM), treating only when necessary and keeping your garden as natural as possible.
  • Replant Care — We make sure new plantings receive adequate water and shaping to fill in any gaps, keeping your landscape lush.

We pride ourselves on being a low-maintenance landscaping crew, aiming for fewer problems between visits and less work for you!


Service Cadences (Pick What Fits)

Choose a service frequency that suits your needs:

  • Quarterly — A thorough spring/fall clean-up followed by two follow-up sweeps to keep everything in check.
  • Bi-Monthly — This option strikes a perfect 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 to a more manageable routine.)


What Annual Maintenance Includes

With our annual maintenance, you can expect:

  • Safe setups on slopes (including rope access for tricky spots).
  • Comprehensive management of crowns and root runners along fences and banks.
  • Slope stabilization through jute/coir and regular mulch top-ups.
  • Clearly defined edges to keep beds and paths distinct and tidy.
  • 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 nourish them.
  • Prevents Erosion — Stabilization and plant cover keep your soil securely in place, and you can say goodbye to mudslides!
  • Safer Access — Clear sightlines for driveways, alleys, and steps enhance safety for you and your guests.
  • Lower Costs — Frequent, small interventions are far more budget-friendly than expensive reclaim jobs down the road.

How It Works

Here’s how we make the process seamless and stress-free 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 everything goes off without a hitch.
  3. Service Day — Our team will cut, grub, haul, stabilize, replant, and clean up—all while treating your property like our own.
  4. Follow-Up — Enjoy scheduled sweeps and easy add-ons (like mulch, drip irrigation, or plant fill-ins) as needed.
