Seattle Trim ivy from fences

In Seattle, ivy can be a beautiful addition to your property, but it can also become a nuisance when it starts to creep over fences and other structures. If left unchecked, ivy can damage wooden fences, block views, and even encourage unwanted pests. The good news is that trimming ivy from fences is a straightforward solution that not only enhances your property’s curb appeal but also promotes safety and eco-friendliness. By keeping your ivy in check, you reduce maintenance needs and ensure your yard looks its best year-round.
