With our expertise and comprehensive approach, you can trust us to effectively eradicate horsetail from your property.

A Brief History of Horsetail

Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) has been around since the time of the dinosaurs. This primitive plant has survived for millions of years, and its ability to thrive in a variety of environments has earned it a reputation as a formidable foe. Horsetail's deep roots and ability to regrow from small fragments make it a challenging plant to eradicate.

Horsetail in Mayne Island: A Local Perspective

Mayne Island's mild climate and rich soil create an ideal environment for horsetail to grow. The plant's tendency to spread quickly through underground rhizomes means that it can quickly take over gardens, lawns, and woodlands. If left unchecked, horsetail can outcompete native plants, alter ecosystems, and even damage buildings and infrastructure.

The Importance of Effective Horsetail Removal

While horsetail may seem like a minor nuisance, its impact can be significant. In addition to its potential to damage property, horsetail can also:

• Alter soil chemistry, making it less hospitable to native plants
• Create an environment conducive to the growth of other invasive species
• Interfere with the natural water cycle, leading to erosion and other problems

At Ascent Yard Care, we understand the importance of effective horsetail removal. Our team, led by arborist Jake Innes, has years of experience in invasive plant eradication, and we've developed a comprehensive approach that gets results.
