How Landscaping Pros Remove Ivy From Buildings

Ivy can be a beautiful addition to your landscape, adding greenery and charm to your property. However, when it begins to climb up buildings, it can become a significant problem. Ivy can damage siding, clog gutters, and even cause structural issues over time. If you’re dealing with an ivy invasion on your building, you might be wondering how professionals tackle this task. The good news is that landscaping pros have effective strategies to remove ivy safely and efficiently.


Our Approach

  1. Assessment: Professionals start with a thorough inspection of the affected area. They identify the type of ivy, the extent of its growth, and any potential damage to the building.

  2. Preparation: Before removal, the area around the ivy is cleared. This includes protecting nearby plants and structures from damage during the removal process.

  3. Removal Techniques: Landscaping pros use a combination of physical and chemical methods to remove the ivy. This may involve cutting the ivy at its base, pulling it away from the building, and applying herbicides if necessary.

  4. Post-Removal Care: After ivy removal, professionals will clean up the area, ensuring no debris is left behind. They may also provide recommendations for future prevention.

We’re a low-maintenance landscaping crew. Our goal is fewer problems between visits and less work for you.


Service Cadences

  • Quarterly — Ideal for properties needing seasonal deep cleans and regular maintenance.
  • Bi-Monthly — Perfect for most yards, providing balanced care throughout the growing season.
  • Monthly — Best for high-visibility properties and rentals that require consistent upkeep.

What’s Included

  • Initial Consultation: A detailed assessment of the ivy problem and a customized removal plan.
  • Ivy Removal: Safe and effective techniques to remove ivy from your building.
  • Cleanup: Removal of all ivy debris and materials used during the process.
  • Follow-Up Inspection: A post-removal check to ensure the area is clear and healthy.
  • Prevention Tips: Guidance on how to prevent ivy from returning.

Why It Matters

  1. Protects Your Property: Ivy can trap moisture against your building, leading to mold, mildew, and structural damage. Removing it protects your investment.

  2. Enhances Curb Appeal: A clean building free from climbing ivy looks more attractive and well-maintained, improving your property’s overall appeal.

  3. Reduces Maintenance Costs: By addressing ivy growth early, you can avoid costly repairs down the line, saving you money and hassle.

  4. HOA Compliance: If you live in a community with a Homeowners Association, maintaining your home’s exterior is essential to avoid fines and maintain property values.


How It Works

  1. Quick Estimate: You can start by providing photos or videos of the affected area, or schedule an onsite visit. Expect clear, upfront pricing without hidden fees.

  2. Set Your Schedule: Choose a service cadence that fits your needs—quarterly, bi-monthly, or monthly.

  3. Service Day: On the scheduled day, professionals will arrive to clear, prune, and edge the area. Optional services like mulch or gravel refresh can also be discussed.

  4. Follow-Up: After the service, you’ll receive simple care tips to help maintain the area and information on any additional services you may want.
