Effective Morning Glory Removal for Your Landscape

Tip's & Tricks

Morning glory might look lovely in bloom, but when it takes over your yard, it can quickly become a landscaping nightmare. Its aggressive growth habit can choke out desirable plants and create a maintenance headache. At Lee’s General Landscaping, we’re here to help homeowners across the Seattle area regain control of their gardens with expert invasive plant removal services.


Customer Inquiry: Morning Glory Removal from Front Bank

“Our front bank is covered with morning glory, which is tangled within cotoneaster groundcover and a few established shrubs. This invasive plant needs to be completely ripped out. Typically, we handle this maintenance several times a year, but we are currently unable to manage the work ourselves. Please let us know if this is something you can assist with and your availability for an estimate. Thank you.”


Our Approach to Morning Glory Removal

Removing morning glory tangled with other plants requires precision and care to avoid damaging surrounding vegetation. Here’s how we handle this type of project:

  1. Assessment of the Area: Our team evaluates the affected area, taking into account the density of the morning glory and its proximity to other plants.
  2. Strategic Removal: We manually extract the vines and roots from the cotoneaster groundcover and shrubs, preserving the integrity of your existing landscaping.
  3. Follow-Up Maintenance Plan: Since morning glory is persistent, we can recommend or schedule regular maintenance visits to keep it at bay.

Advice for Managing Morning Glory

  • Regular Maintenance: Morning glory can quickly regrow from leftover roots, so consistent removal is key.
  • Barrier Installation: Using landscaping fabric or mulch can help suppress future growth.
  • Professional Assistance: Trust experienced landscapers to remove invasive plants without harming the rest of your garden.
