Homeowner’s Guide to Removing Invasive Puyallup Blackberries & Ivy

A Simple Guide for Homeowners

Hello, homeowners! I’m Mr. Lee, and I understand the importance of maintaining a safe and beautiful outdoor space. Invasive plants like blackberries and ivy can quickly take over your yard if not managed properly. Here are some straightforward steps to keep your landscape healthy.

Why It Matters

• Preserve Your Landscape: Invasive plants can choke out your garden beds and patios.
• Protect Your Home: They can create hazards and compromise your outdoor space.
• Support Local Flora: Managing invasives allows native plants to thrive and receive the nutrients they need.

1. Home Visit & Inspection: I assess your property to determine the extent of the invasive growth.
2. Manual Removal: I carefully pull out plants by hand, aiming to remove as much of the root system as possible.
3. Spot Treatments: For tougher areas, I apply targeted treatments that won’t harm your desired plants.
4. Clean-Up: After removal, I clear away debris to keep your yard tidy.
