Ivy, vines and overgrowth cleared from fences, walls and beds, without wrecking what's underneath.
Ivy and vines don't just sit on a surface, they root into mortar joints, timber fences and weatherboard cladding, and pulling them off carelessly takes chunks of the surface with them. Greenlight's approach is to cut the vine at its base first and let it die back before pulling it clear, because a dead vine releases its grip far more easily than a live one and does less damage to what it's climbing on.
Vines cut at the base and cleared once they've died back, protecting the surface underneath.
Growth cleared from timber fences, brick and cladding without stripping the surface with it.
Overgrowth along a shared boundary is one of the more common jobs we get asked about, usually where a neighbour's planting has pushed through or over a fence line. We clear back to the boundary and leave the fence itself untouched unless you've asked us to look at that separately.
Vines like ivy and wandering willie regrow from any root or stem fragment left in the ground, so a proper removal means getting the root system out, not just cutting back the visible growth. Where the root system is extensive, we'll flag it so you know what to expect.
Tell us what's overgrown, fences, walls, boundaries or beds, or book a visit so we can assess it.
Vines are cut at the base and cleared once they've died back, with root systems removed where they're the regrowth risk.
Fences, walls and beds left clear, with green waste removed on request.
No fixed packages, no time-based pricing. Vine and overgrowth removal is a fixed price quoted on the area and how established the growth is.
In most cases, yes. We cut the vine at its base and let it die back before pulling it clear, which loosens its grip and does far less damage to timber, brick or cladding than pulling it off live. Very old, deeply rooted growth can still leave marks, and we'll tell you upfront if that's likely.
We clear vines and overgrowth back to the boundary line, whether it's come from your side or a neighbour's planting. The fence itself is left alone unless you ask us to look at that as a separate job.
Species like ivy and wandering willie regrow from any root or stem fragment left behind, so we remove the root system, not just the visible growth. Very established vines can still need a follow-up visit if regrowth appears.
