Shoreline Slope & Fence-Line Overgrowth Clearing Services

Hey there, Shoreline! Is your yard being overrun by wild brush and sneaky invasive plants? Don’t fret—we’ve got you covered! Our slope and fence-line clearing services are here to help transform your outdoor space from chaotic to charming while preventing that pesky overgrowth from coming back.


What’s the Problem?

Overgrown areas can lead to a variety of headaches, such as:

  • Invasive plants like blackberry and ivy creeping up fences and invading your flower beds.
  • Blocked sightlines at driveways and alleys, making it tough for deliveries or visitors to navigate.
  • Erosion on slopes where vine mats can cause soil to slide away, especially after heavy rains.
  • Roots encroaching from neighbors’ yards, disrupting your carefully tended garden.
  • Relying on a “mow and hope” strategy that only leads to thicker, more stubborn regrowth.

How We Clear (and Keep It Clear)

Our tried-and-true process is designed to tackle overgrowth head-on while ensuring your landscape flourishes:

  • Sectional Cut & Haul — We carefully manage cuts using brush cutters and chainsaws, especially on those tricky slopes.
  • Root Work — Our team meticulously removes blackberry crowns, ivy runners, and broom taproots with minimal soil disturbance—no more ugly bare patches!
  • Fence-Line Detail — We dig out along footings to create clear edges, preventing invasive plants from sneaking back into your yard.
  • Stabilization — We use jute/coir netting and top it off with 2-3 inches of mulch to keep your soil where it belongs.
  • Replanting — Our experts select dense, slope-friendly groundcovers and shrubs that help shade the soil and reduce regrowth.
  • Disposal — Whether you want us to chip the debris on-site or haul it away to green waste, we ensure no “re-root” piles are left behind.

And don’t worry—we always call 811 before digging. We’re well-versed in local regulations about street trees, right-of-way, and critical areas. We play by the rules!


Our Annual Maintenance Plan (Your Yard’s Routine)

Want to keep your yard looking fabulous year-round? Our tailored maintenance plan is just what you need:

  • Resprout Sweeps — Scheduled 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 stop unwanted regrowth in its tracks.
  • Mulch Management — Regular checks to maintain even mulch coverage, keeping it clear of trunks and siding.
  • Selective Spot-Treatments (optional) — We use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) first, treating only when necessary.
  • Replant Care — Our team ensures newly planted areas get the right amount of water and care to thrive.

We take pride in 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 works best for you:

  • Quarterly — A complete spring/fall clean, followed by two follow-up sweeps.
  • Bi-Monthly — Perfect for keeping active regrowth and hedge pressure in check.

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


What Annual Maintenance Includes

With our annual maintenance, you can look forward to:

  • Safety setups on slopes (including rope access where necessary).
  • Thorough crown and root-runner management along fences and banks.
  • Slope stabilization with jute/coir and mulch top-ups.
  • Defined edges to keep beds and paths distinct.
  • Regular photo updates and an easy resprout log to track your yard’s progress.

Why Annual Maintenance Matters

Investing in regular maintenance brings a ton of benefits:

  • Stops the Come-Back — Timed interventions starve roots instead of feeding them.
  • Prevents Erosion — Our stabilization methods and plant cover keep your soil securely in place.
  • Safer Access — Clear sightlines for driveways, alleys, and steps mean enhanced safety for you and your guests.
  • Lower Costs — Frequent, small interventions are way more economical than dealing with expensive reclaim jobs later.

How It Works

Here’s how we make the process smooth and stress-free for you:

  1. Free Estimate — We 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 points, 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 with the utmost respect.
  4. Follow-Up — Enjoy scheduled sweeps and easy add-ons (like mulch, drip irrigation, or plant fill-ins) as needed.
