Top-Rated Scotch Broom Removal in Metchosin

Scotch broom is a serious issue in Metchosin. From rural acreages to forested properties and rocky hillsides, this invasive shrub spreads aggressively and takes over quickly. It not only damages native ecosystems, but it also creates a major fire hazard and is notoriously difficult to remove without professional help.

At Ascent Yard Care, we specialize in permanent Scotch broom removal and are widely recognized as the leading invasive plant removal company in Metchosin. With years of experience working on properties throughout the region—from East Sooke Road to William Head—we understand the unique challenges of broom removal in Metchosin’s rugged, natural terrain.

Why Scotch Broom Is a Major Problem in Metchosin

Metchosin’s dry summers, open landscapes, and rural properties create the perfect conditions for Scotch broom (Cytisus scoparius) to thrive. It spreads along driveways, fence lines, pastures, and forest edges, often forming dense, impenetrable thickets within a few seasons.

Scotch broom:

  • Dries out in summer, creating dangerous wildfire fuel
  • Degrades soil and prevents healthy plant growth
  • Re-grows persistently unless removed at the root or chemically treated
  • Outcompetes native species and reduces biodiversity

In a region as fire-prone and ecologically sensitive as Metchosin, broom removal isn’t just aesthetic—it’s essential land management.

Ascent’s Proven Method for Permanent Broom Removal

We don’t just cut broom—we remove it in a way that ensures it doesn’t return. Here’s how we do it:

1. Site Assessment

We start with a comprehensive visit to your property to assess the spread, size, and root maturity of the broom. This helps us create a strategy tailored to your landscape.

2. Physical Removal at the Root

Our teams use brush cutters, root wrenches, and extraction tools to remove the plant—including its entire root crown, which is the key to stopping regrowth. We clear both open spaces and hard-to-reach slopes.

3. Licensed Herbicide Treatment (Optional)

In areas with dense regrowth or large infestations, we offer selective herbicide treatments applied by certified professionals. This ensures long-lasting control and minimal environmental impact.

4. Restoration & Monitoring

To prevent future infestations, we offer ongoing monitoring and can advise on restoring native vegetation or planting broom-resistant ground cover.
