Seattle Blackberry Removal

Pricing: Projects typically range from $300–$1,000+, depending on size, slope, and hauling volume.

Himalayan blackberry is one of the most aggressive invasive plants in the Pacific Northwest. It spreads fast, forms dense thorny thickets, and sends deep root crowns and underground runners that can resprout for years. Left unchecked, it can take over fences, slopes, garden beds, and even entire yards.

At Neat & Tidy Landscaping, we don’t just cut it down—we dig it out at the root, clear the debris, and, if needed, install mulch or a barrier to keep it from coming back.

Why Blackberry Is a Problem

• Rapid Spread – New shoots pop up far from the original plant via underground runners
• Difficult to Remove – Thick canes and deep root crowns resist casual cutting
• Property Damage – Can overrun fences, choke out plants, and destabilize slopes
• Hazardous Access – Thorny growth makes yard space unusable and unsafe
• Persistent Regrowth – Cutting without root removal leads to quick resurgence

FAQs

Do I really need full blackberry removal?

Yes—cutting canes alone won’t stop regrowth. Removing root crowns is key.

Will it come back?

We remove as much root material as possible and offer barrier or mulch installs to greatly reduce regrowth.

Do you work on slopes and fences?

Absolutely. We handle hillside removals, fence line clearings, and other hard-to-reach areas.

Do you use chemicals?

Only if requested—most removals are fully manual and chemical-free.

What’s the cost range?

From $300 for small patches to $1,000+ for large or heavily overgrown areas.
