Seattle Blackberry Removal
Pricing: Starts around $150, with large or steep jobs ranging from $1,000+, depending on the size, slope, and debris volume.
Himalayan blackberry is one of Seattle’s toughest and most aggressive weeds. It grows fast, sends roots deep underground, and can quickly take over fences, slopes, and gardens if left alone.
At Neat & Tidy Landscaping, we handle blackberry removal the right way. We don’t just trim it back—we cut, dig, and haul everything from surface canes to buried root crowns. We can also install mulch or root barriers to keep it from returning. You get a clear, usable yard without the mess or stress.
Why Blackberry Becomes a Problem
- Spreads Aggressively – Shoots and roots spread far from the main patch.
- Deep Roots – Crowns and runners stay alive underground.
- Chokes Out Plants – Overtakes lawns, gardens, and native vegetation.
- Creates Safety Issues – Sharp thorns block access and trap debris.
- Comes Right Back – Cutting alone never stops regrowth.
Our Step-by-Step Blackberry Removal
- Inspect & Assess – We look at access points, slope, and how deep it’s spread.
- Cut & Clear – Remove tall canes and open up the site.
- Dig Out Crowns – Extract root crowns and underground runners by hand or machine.
- Mulch or Barrier Install (Optional) – Helps suppress regrowth and restore soil health.
- Haul & Dispose – All blackberry debris hauled off-site.
- Restore & Finish – Smooth soil, rake out roots, and leave your yard clean.

Common Questions
Can I just cut it back myself?
You can, but it’ll grow right back. The roots need to be dug out completely.
Will it return after removal?
Not if roots are cleared and the area is covered with mulch or barrier.
Do you work on steep hillsides or fence lines?
Yes, those are our specialty. We handle blackberry on slopes, fences, and hard-to-reach spots.
Do you spray herbicide?
Only if requested. We usually use manual and mechanical removal methods.
