The work that we do
Invasive Removal
This work that we do clears the land of the invasive species.
We assess the area, and get to work!
​
Our main battlefields consist of Scotch Broom and Himalayan Blackberry. Both have two very different modes of attack. With Blackberry we cut back most of the vines and then pull the roots from the heart. With Broom we have a wonderful tool and we go from one broom to the next pulling each one.
​
From my observation over these years and speaking with those working on similar project pulling by the roots is the quickest solution.

Garden restoration
Whether it is a food garden, flower garden, native plant garden or even farm plots, we are here to help you clean up your space.
​
We remove all weeds, grasses, and all other unwanted plants. From small projects to larger projects we have the people and skill to let you restart a project.

Maintenance projects
A yard overrun by Scotch Broom, Gorse, Shiny Geranium, or even Himalayan Blackberry won't be fully forever cleared in one session. Seed banks, fragile (but aggressive) root systems and even clippings can, and do come back. With full root pulling job complete, the grow back load is much less and returning plants are not mature (easier root systems), so they do come out easier with each session.
We can work together on a maintenance plan that you can run, or we can come back and do secondary sweeps, clearing the land even more.
