During property visits we regularly encounter plant and vine species which, left unchecked, can overrun backyards, break trees, negatively impact native plant and animal species, and disperse seedlings throughout the neighborhood. Except for the poison ivy, each of the plants below is an overseas import that upsets the natural harmony of native ecosystems. In some cases, we can help control these invaders through mechanical means (severing vines at tree bases, or uprooting plants with a Weed Wrench or our tracked mini skid steer).  In many cases, we are able to utilize appropriate herbicides to effectively manage or eradicate these species from your property.
