Seattle Ivy trimming and shaping

If you’re a homeowner or property manager in Seattle, you might have noticed how quickly ivy can take over your garden or yard. While ivy can add charm and greenery, it can also become unruly, posing risks to your property’s health and safety.

By keeping your ivy in check, you not only ensure a tidy appearance but also promote a healthier environment for your plants and wildlife. Let’s dive into the benefits and practical steps you can take to manage your ivy effectively.
