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

Get down on your knees. Pull it out. Get stung by the spines. Watch it grow back a week later.

But what if that wasn’t true?

At Ascent Yard Care, we offer a smarter, easier solution—a proven, wildlife-safe treatment that kills thistle right down to the deep taproot.

No damage to your surrounding lawn or garden plants. No impact to the soil. No impact to pollinators, pets, or wildlife.

No painful weeding. No broken roots. No recurring nightmare. Just real results.

What We Offer: Thistle Eradication Through Targeted Treatment

We don’t till the soil.

We don’t tear up your lawn.

We don’t leave you with half a root system.

Instead, we apply a selective, targeted treatment that is absorbed through the thistle’s leaves, traveling deep into the plant’s taproot and creeping root system—killing the weed from the inside out.

Within weeks, the thistle is fully dead, including the root.

This Is Not a Temporary Fix

Most attempts at thistle removal fail because they don’t address the root system. Canada Thistle and Bull Thistle have deep, brittle roots. When you pull them, the root snaps, stimulating the plant to grow back even aggressively.

With our approach:

• The entire root system is killed efficiently.

• New shoots stop emerging.

• The thistle doesn’t grow back next season.

• And you get a guarantee that backs it up.

But What About the Dead Weeds?

Great question. You might be thinking:

“If they kill the thistle, won’t I just have a patch of dead weeds?”

Yes—and that makes cleanup effortless.

Once the thistle is dead, it loses its grip on the soil.

In lawns: The dead thistle shrivels up and disappears naturally or can be mowed over without risk of spreading seeds or re-sprouting.

In gardens: The dried-out plant can be easily removed without fighting a live, anchored root.

This isn’t a seasonal weeding service.

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 thistle. It begins curling and dying within days—fully dead in weeks.

  4. If any shoots regrow after 60 days, we re-treat for free.

  5. You’re done. No regrowth. No painful spines. No reappearance next spring.

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

Why Not Just Pull It?

Hand-pulling is the traditional method—but with thistle, it is painful and rarely successful.

Thistle roots can grow several feet deep, and even a tiny fragment left behind will regenerate a whole new plant.

Our method is:

More Effective: Hits the root where pulling can't reach.

Pain-Free: No handling prickly spines.

Gentler on your landscape: No disturbing the soil or surrounding grass.

Backed by a guarantee.

You don’t need to fight it.

You need eradication.

This Is the End of Your Thistle Problem

We get it—thistle is one of the most hated plants in BC for a reason. That’s why we take it seriously—and why we guarantee our results.

If you’ve been losing the battle against thistle invasion—or are tired of getting stung every time you try to garden—just reach out.

We’ll show you a better way.
