Invasive Plant Eradication in Sidney, BC — Protect Your Property

Permanent Solutions for Persistent Problems

Invasive plants like Scotch broom, English ivy, Japanese knotweed, and Himalayan blackberry threaten the health of gardens, ecosystems, and properties across the Saanich Peninsula. These species spread rapidly, displace native vegetation, and often require more than just cutting to control.

At Ascent Yard Care, we specialize in comprehensive invasive plant eradication in Sidney, BC — providing root-level removal, licensed herbicide application (where needed), and restoration strategies to stop regrowth and prevent reinfestation.

Our Invasive Plant Eradication Process

✅ On-Site Assessment

We identify all invasive species present, evaluate how far they’ve spread, and determine if native plants or structures are at risk. We build a plan that’s effective and sensitive to your landscape.

✅ Mechanical & Manual Removal

Using professional tools and powered equipment, we cut, dig, and pull up invasive plants — including roots, rhizomes, and runners — to minimize regrowth.

✅ Licensed Herbicide Application (Optional)

For persistent, large-scale, or regrowing invasives, we are fully licensed to apply selective herbicides in accordance with BC regulations. Herbicide is used strategically, only where necessary, and always safely.

✅ Restoration & Replanting

We can regrade, topdress, and replant cleared areas with native species, drought-tolerant plants, or turf to restore ecosystem function and prevent re-infestation.

✅ Multi-Year Monitoring (if needed)

For species like knotweed or broom, we offer follow-up treatments and site checks to ensure total eradication over time.
