Top-Rated Scotch Broom Removal in Greater Victoria

Scotch broom is a growing problem throughout the Greater Victoria area—from the rocky slopes of Metchosin to the rural properties of Saanich and the forested edges of Langford. It spreads quickly, takes over native ecosystems, and increases the risk of wildfire. If you’re dealing with Scotch broom on your property, now is the time to act.

At Ascent Yard Care, we are the leading Scotch broom removal company in Victoria. With deep experience in the region, a highly trained team, and the equipment to handle everything from backyard infestations to large acreages, we specialize in permanent removal solutions that restore your land and keep it broom-free for the long term.

Why Scotch Broom Is So Problematic in Victoria

The climate and soil conditions in Greater Victoria are ideal for Scotch broom to thrive. You’ll often see it along highways, trails, and open lots—but it’s just as aggressive on private land.

Scotch broom:

• Crowds out native plants and reduces biodiversity
• Depletes soil nutrients and changes the ecosystem
• Creates significant fire risk, especially during summer droughts
• Re-grows aggressively unless removed at the root or treated

Left untreated, it quickly spreads to neighboring properties and becomes exponentially harder to remove.

Ascent Yard Care’s Proven Broom Removal Process

We’ve developed a systematic approach to broom removal that delivers long-term results for property owners across the Victoria region.

1. On-Site Assessment

Every property is different. We start by visiting your site and creating a tailored plan based on the age, density, and spread of the broom.

2. Mechanical & Manual Removal

Our crews use a mix of specialized hand tools, brush cutters, and mechanical extraction equipment to remove broom at the root, not just at the surface.

3. Herbicide Application (Optional)

For stubborn regrowth or large infestations, we offer targeted herbicide treatments applied by licensed technicians. This method is highly effective when used in combination with physical removal and follow-up care.

4. Monitoring & Follow-Up

Because Scotch broom seeds can live in the soil for decades, we provide optional follow-up visits and replanting recommendations to prevent re-establishment and help native vegetation thrive.
