Finally: A Simple, Effective Way to Eradicate Gorse

You’ve probably been told there’s only one way to get rid of gorse:

Slash it down. Dig out the stumps. Tear up the soil. Get pricked by a thousand thorns. Repeat when it comes back next year.

But what if that wasn’t true?

At Ascent Yard Care, we offer a smarter, safer solution—a proven treatment that kills gorse right down to the root system without turning your property into a construction site.

No impact to surrounding trees. No soil disturbance that triggers new seeds. No impact to pollinators, pets, or wildlife.

No excavation. No heavy machinery. Just real results.

What We Offer: Gorse Eradication Through Targeted Treatment

We don’t dig.

We don’t bring in a backhoe.

We don’t churn up your soil.

Instead, we apply a targeted treatment that is absorbed through the foliage and woody stems, traveling deep into the plant’s taproot system—killing the gorse from the inside out.

Within weeks, the gorse is dead, including its deep root system.

This Is Not a Temporary Fix

Most attempts at gorse removal fail because of two things: coppicing (regrowth from cut stumps) and the seed bank.

If you cut gorse, it grows back thicker. If you dig gorse, you disturb the soil, triggering thousands of dormant seeds to sprout.

With our approach:

• The entire root system is killed, preventing stump regrowth.

• The soil remains undisturbed, keeping dormant seeds asleep.

• The thicket stops expanding.

• And you get a guarantee that backs it up.

But What About the Dead Bushes?

Great question. You might be thinking:

“If they kill the gorse, won’t I just have a patch of dead, thorny bushes?”

Yes—and that is the safest way to handle gorse.

Trying to cut and remove live gorse is dangerous and spreads seeds everywhere. Once the gorse is treated and dead, the sap stops flowing and the plant becomes brittle. It stops producing seeds and stops spreading.

We also offer physical removal after the gorse is dead, knowing that the roots are dead and it won’t spring back up the moment you turn your back.

This isn’t a seasonal trim.

It’s a permanent solution.

What Happens If You Work With Us?

1. You contact us. Quick response. No pressure. Quote fast.
2. We show up. One visit. On time, respectful, and professional.
3. We treat the gorse. It begins dying immediately.
4. If any regrowth occurs after 60 days, we re-treat for free.
5. You’re done. No prickly regrowth. No creeping roots.

The gorse is gone. The roots are dead. And you’re finally free of it.

Why Not Just Dig It?

Digging is the traditional method—but for gorse, it is often a mistake.

Gorse seeds can survive in the soil for decades. Heavy excavation brings these seeds to the surface, creating a fresh carpet of new weeds. Plus, gorse roots are notoriously deep; leaving even a fraction of the root crown can lead to regrowth.

Our method is:

• Faster

• Cleaner

• Gentler on your landscape

• Backed by a guarantee

• Prevents mass germination of seeds

You don’t need destruction.

You need eradication.
