When It’s Time to Take Control: A Practical Solution for Overgrown Weeds and Invasive Plants in Victoria

For Property Owners, Landlords, Strata Councils & Anyone Responsible for Keeping Outdoor Spaces Safe and Beautiful

If you’re managing a property in Victoria—whether it’s your own home, a rental, a strata, or a family member’s yard—there comes a point when weeds and invasive plants start to take over.

• Ivy climbing over fences
• Blackberry creeping across paths
• Buttercup choking out lawn space
• Periwinkle smothering garden beds
• Tansy or rose crowding out native plants

What used to be a small job has now become too big to handle by hand. You’ve tried cutting it back. You’ve hired people to weed. But it keeps coming back.

You need something that works.

This Isn’t About Spraying Chemicals. It’s About Regaining Control—Responsibly.

At Ascent Yard Care, we provide licensed, targeted herbicide treatment that helps you get control of your landscape—without harming the plants you care about, your soil, or your peace of mind.

We work with:

• Strata councils managing overgrown shared spaces
• Seniors or caregivers dealing with an unmanageable yard
• Landlords prepping properties between tenants
• Homeowners tired of pulling the same weeds every season
• Acreage owners overwhelmed by blackberry, broom, and creeping growth

We’re not here to spray everything. We’re here to solve the problem so it doesn’t keep coming back.

Why Weeds Keep Coming Back on Properties Across Victoria

Victoria’s environment is lush, damp, and mild—and that’s perfect for weeds. The more you cut, the more they come back. That’s because:

• Plants like ivy, buttercup, and blackberry regrow from underground roots
• Invasive groundcovers spread faster when disturbed
• Mowing or trimming doesn’t kill the plant—it just delays it
• Most gardeners aren’t licensed to use the tools that actually stop regrowth

What Makes Ascent Yard Care Different

We’re not just landscapers—we’re invasive plant specialists with a license to apply legal, safe, regulated herbicides in British Columbia.

That means:

• We can legally and safely treat the root systems of persistent weeds
• We don’t treat everything—we target only the problem plants
• We combine herbicide with manual clearing, pruning, and site restoration
• We clean up fully—so you’re not left with brush piles or repeat visits

What You Can Expect

Step 1: Property Walkthrough

We assess the extent of overgrowth or infestation and listen to what matters to you. Want to keep the rhododendrons? Planning to replant in the fall? We factor it all in.

Step 2: Responsible Removal

We cut and clear visible growth, then apply precise herbicide treatment to kill the root systems—often using stem wicking or spot treatments rather than spraying.

Step 3: Restoration or Replanting (Optional)

We can help mulch, reseed, or prep the space for new planting, so the landscape not only recovers—but improves.
