Ivy climbs fast and grips tightly. Over time, it smothers trees, weakens fences, and forces its way into brickwork. While small amounts can look nice, thick ivy growth blocks light, traps moisture, and hides cracks or decay underneath. That’s why dealing with it early saves a lot of hassle later.

We always start by checking how far the ivy has spread and what it’s growing on. Whether it’s tangled in a tree, creeping up a wall, or covering your garden shed, we’ll find the best way to remove it without harming what’s underneath. Thick ivy on trees can cause real issues – it adds weight, hides damage, and can lead to major problems if ignored.

We remove ivy by hand using the right tools and techniques. No ripping or cutting corners. Then carefully cut it back at the base, loosen the stems, and lift it section by section. This helps protect the surface underneath and avoids leaving behind messy roots. When needed, we’ll apply a treatment to stop it growing back too quickly.
