West Seattle Slope & Fence-Line Overgrowth Clearing Services

Brush takes yards hostage fast—especially on slopes and along fence lines. We clear safely and cleanly, then stabilize and replant so it stays clear.

We serve Admiral, Alaska Junction, Alki, Fauntleroy, Arbor Heights, Delridge, Gatewood, High Point, Morgan Junction, and Roxhill.


What’s the Problem?

  • Blackberry, ivy, and broom swallowing fences and sheds
  • Sightlines blocked at driveways/alleys; deliveries can’t see to pull out
  • Slopes eroding under vine mats; bark and gravel sliding after storms
  • Roots creeping under fences and into beds from the neighbor side
  • “Mow and hope” making the regrowth thicker every month

How We Clear (and keep it clear)

  • Sectional cut & haul — brush cutters/chainsaws; controlled lowers on slopes
  • Root work — grub blackberry crowns, ivy runners, and broom taproots (minimal soil disturbance on banks)
  • Fence-line detail — dig out along footings; edge so runners can’t sneak back under
  • Stabilize — jute/coir netting, pinning, and 2–3” mulch to lock soil in place
  • Replant — dense, slope-friendly groundcovers/shrubs to shade soil (no fabric in planting beds; fabric under paths only)
  • Disposal — chip on-site (if wanted) or haul to green waste; no “re-root” piles left behind

We call 811 before digging. Street trees/right-of-way or steep-slope/critical area rules may require permits—we’ll flag them and keep it by-the-book.


Our Annual Maintenance Plan (Your Yard’s Routine)

  • Resprout sweeps — timed cuts every 4–8 weeks in season to drain root reserves
  • Edge patrol — fence bottoms, rockery seams, and neighbor lines (where it sneaks back)
  • Mulch management — keep coverage even; pull back from trunks and siding
  • Selective spot-treatments (optional) — IPM-first; only when hand control won’t hold the line
  • Replant care — water-in, quick shaping, and fill-in plugs where gaps open

We’re a low-maintenance landscaping crew. Goal: fewer problems between visits and less work for you.


Service Cadences (Pick What Fits)

  • Quarterly — spring/fall deep clean + two follow-up sweeps
  • Bi-Monthly — great balance for active regrowth and hedge pressure

(Heavy infestations? Start monthly for 60–90 days, then taper.)


What Annual Maintenance Includes

  • Safety setup on slopes (rope access where needed)
  • Crown/root-runner chase along fences and banks
  • Slope stabilization: jute/coir, staple pinning, mulch top-ups
  • Defined edges so beds stay beds and paths stay paths
  • Photo updates + a simple resprout log so you can see progress

Why Annual Maintenance Matters

  • Stops the come-back — timed hits starve roots, not feed them
  • Prevents erosion — stabilization and plant cover keep soil put
  • Safer access — clear sightlines for driveways, alleys, and steps
  • Lower costs — small, frequent passes beat expensive reclaim jobs

How It Works

  1. Free Estimate — photos/video or a quick walkthrough; clear, upfront pricing
  2. Plan the Phases — access, haul path, fence strategy, slope care
  3. Service Day — cut, grub, haul; stabilize and replant; clean edges and paths
  4. Follow-Up — scheduled sweeps + easy add-ons (mulch, drip, plant fill-ins)

  • Local crew that knows hills, alleys, wind corridors, and tight driveways
  • Licensed & insured; clean, respectful job sites
  • Upfront pricing — labor, hauling, and disposal included
  • On-time, tidy finishes—no thorny “green confetti” left behind
