Invasive Plant Removal & Control

Invasive Plant Control & Removal

We use various methods to remove invasive plants. Our specific approach depends on the type and characteristics of the invasive plant species present. We do not use any herbicides. Key methods to our non-chemical approach include thorough removal of invasive plants, heavy smothering of impacted areas, and ongoing maintenance of the site for at least 1-2 years.


Management & Replanting

We offer ongoing management of invasive plants after removal. Ongoing maintenance is a key aspect of our non-chemical control methods. Additionally, we provide native plant re-planting services, which are strongly recommended at least one to two years following initial removal and subsequent management.

Poison Ivy Control & Removal

We manage poison ivy infestations using chemical-free methods like uprooting, smothering, and native replanting, similar to our invasive species control. Contact us today for control and removal services.

Native Replanting & Meadow Installation

We provide native planting to restore sites post-invasive removal. To ensure control of regrowth, we recommend waiting one to two years or more before replanting. This improves success for site-specific wildflowers, grasses, and trees that enhance biodiversity, pollination, and erosion control.


Eco-Friendly Garden Bed Preparation

Our eco-friendly garden bed preparation service transforms messy, weed-filled lawns into rich, ready-to-plant garden beds. We use a natural, multi-layered smothering technique. First, we manage heavy weeds. Next, we lay down green organic materials and thick cardboard to block unwanted growth and feed the earth. Finally, we cover it all with natural mulch. This process locks in moisture, stops future weeds, and breaks down into rich nutrients. It creates the perfect, chemical-free home for your new native plants.

Native Tree Delivery & Installation


We offer local delivery and installation for native trees. Check our store and delivery policies tabs for availability and details. Native trees improve air quality, boost biodiversity, and counter invasive plants. Follow us for updates as this service expands.
