Des Moines Blackberry and Ivy Removal Services

Hey folks, it’s Mr. Lee here—been working yards in Des Moines for more than 30 years, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that blackberries and ivy are like that one guest who shows up uninvited… and never leaves. These vines sneak into your flower beds, choke out your perennials, and turn your patio into a jungle before you know it. Let me walk you through how I tackle them head-on, so you can actually enjoy your yard again.

Why You Can’t Let Blackberries & Ivy Run Wild

  • They Spread Fast: One vine turns into a dozen in no time. Before you blink, they’ve taken over your garden.
  • They Starve Out Natives: Your favorite flowers and shrubs don’t stand a chance when these invaders hog the water and nutrients.
  • They Hide Hazards: Thick vines can cover holes, trip you on the lawn, or even climb up siding—causing damage you’ll notice later.

Catching them early makes your life—and my job—a whole lot easier.

My No-Nonsense Removal Process

  1. Walk‑Through Inspection
    I’ll come out, eyeball the situation, and map out exactly where those vines are hiding.

  2. Good Ol’ Manual Pull
    I dig and tug right at the roots—get out as much of that nasty root system as possible. Left a nub? They’ll be back in weeks.

  3. Targeted Treatments
    For the really stubborn patches, I use spot treatments that won’t harm your prized roses or shrubs.

  4. Haul Off Debris & Final Sweep
    Everything gets loaded up and removed. No piles of mess left behind to sprout again next spring.

Which Service Fits Your Yard?

  • Quick Tidy‑Up
    Small patch of ivy or blackberry? I’ll clear it out fast so you can breathe easy.

  • Deep‑Clean Package
    When your yard looks like a jungle expedition, this is the full treatment—manual removal, spot sprays, and a top‑to‑bottom debris haul.

  • Seasonal Check‑Ins
    Let’s keep on top of new sprouts before they become a problem. I swing by a few times a year to nip things in the bud.

  • Custom Solutions
    Got a weird slope, a rock wall, or an area that’s just plain tricky? I’ve seen it all—let’s chat and come up with a plan that fits.

Ready to Reclaim Your Yard?

Des Moines weather is great for growing—but it’s also a playground for these aggressive invaders. Don’t let blackberries and ivy take over your outdoor space. Give me a call, and I’ll roll up my sleeves, roll back your vines, and have you back to enjoying a neat, safe, beautiful yard in no time.

Catch you soon,
Mr. Lee
