As a PhD Botanist, I understand the challenges of dealing with invasive plant species like Horsetail (Equisetum arvense).

At Ascent Yard Care, our team of experts, led by owner and arborist Jake Innes, has been providing effective Horsetail eradication services in West Vancouver and beyond since 2017.

Understanding Horsetail

Horsetail is a perennial plant that thrives in moist environments, making West Vancouver's mild climate an ideal breeding ground. It can grow up to 3 feet tall, with hollow, jointed stems that resemble bamboo. Horsetail's ability to spread quickly through underground rhizomes makes it a formidable opponent for homeowners and landscapers.

Why is Horsetail a Problem?

Horsetail's invasive nature can lead to:

• Competition with native plants for water and nutrients
• Reduced soil quality due to its high silica content
• Increased risk of soil erosion
• Unsightly appearance in gardens and landscapes
