Invasive plants like Chinese privet, kudzu, multiflora rose, oriental bittersweet, tree of heaven, and Japanese stiltgrass don’t stay where you plant them. They crowd out native vegetation, climb and smother mature trees, and form dense thickets that leave bare, unprotected soil underneath. This is especially problematic on the steep slopes and stream banks common across Western North Carolina.
Many invasives have shallow or short-lived root systems that do little to hold soil in place, which can increase erosion and sediment loss during heavy rain. They also reduce habitat and food sources for native pollinators, birds, and wildlife. Removing invasive species restores the balance of your landscape, protects your soil and waterways, and creates space for deeper-rooted native plants to establish.
We make it easy!
We identify, remove, and manage invasive plants so you don’t have to figure it out alone. Whether it’s a few stubborn patches of English ivy or an overgrown hillside of privet and bittersweet, we tailor our approach to your site, using methods that target the invasive plants while protecting the native plants and soil around them.
Our careful removal process minimizes ground disturbance and helps prevent runoff, so cleared areas don’t turn into new erosion problems. We can also follow up with native plantings or erosion-control ground cover to keep invasives from returning.
Skip the weekends of pulling, cutting, and regrowth, and let our team give you a healthier landscape you’ll love.
