Why Ivy Removal Requires Ongoing Maintenance

Ivy can be a beautiful addition to your landscape but can quickly become a problem if not managed properly. While removing ivy may seem like a one-time solution, it actually requires ongoing maintenance to prevent it from returning and to protect your property. In this article, we’ll delve into why ivy removal requires continual care and how you can keep your yard looking great.

Our Approach

  • Assessment: We begin by evaluating the extent of ivy growth and any underlying issues it may have caused, such as damage to structures or trees.
  • Effective Removal: We employ methods that ensure complete removal of ivy, including roots, to minimize regrowth.
  • Preventative Measures: After removal, we discuss strategies to prevent ivy from returning, like choosing alternative plants and implementing barriers.
  • Regular Maintenance: We offer ongoing maintenance packages tailored to your specific needs to keep your yard ivy-free.

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 that need a thorough deep clean in spring and fall, plus two tune-ups in between.
  • Bi-Monthly: A balanced care option for most yards to ensure consistent upkeep without overwhelming your schedule.
  • Monthly: Perfect for high-visibility properties and rentals that require frequent attention.

What’s Included

  • Ivy Removal: Complete removal of ivy, including roots, to prevent regrowth.
  • Pruning and Trimming: Regular pruning of surrounding plants to maintain shape and health.
  • Weed Control: Treatment of any other invasive plants that may appear.
  • Mulching: Refreshing mulch to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture.
  • Consultation: Ongoing advice on plant choices and landscaping to minimize future ivy growth.

Why It Matters

  • Safety: Ivy can climb and damage structures, posing risks to your home’s integrity. Regular maintenance helps prevent costly repairs.
  • Curb Appeal: A well-maintained yard enhances your property’s appearance, making it more inviting and potentially increasing its value.
  • Drainage: Ivy can block drainage paths, leading to water pooling and potential damage to your foundation. Ongoing care helps maintain proper drainage.
  • Maintenance Savings: Investing in ongoing maintenance can save you money in the long run by preventing larger issues that require expensive solutions.

How It Works

  1. Quick Estimate: We provide a clear, upfront pricing structure based on a photo/video or onsite assessment.
  2. Set Your Schedule: Choose between quarterly, bi-monthly, or monthly maintenance to fit your needs.
  3. Service Day: Our team will arrive on time to clear, prune, and edge your yard, with optional mulch or gravel refresh.
  4. Follow-Up: After service, we provide simple care tips and options for additional services based on your yard’s needs.
