Frequently asked questions

Blackberry Removal FAQ

  • We remove blackberry by hand and with tools, digging out the root crowns and cutting back growth without the use of herbicides. This method is slower than chemical spraying, but it’s healthier for the land and more effective in the long run.

  • Yes. That’s one of the advantages of our approach. Because we work by hand, we can reach areas that machines can’t, including hillsides, fences, between trees, or overgrown corners of your yard.

  • It depends on the size and density of the area and what objects or debris are hiding beneath the bramble. After a quick site visit, we’ll give you a clear estimate. We always work efficiently while respecting the land.

  • Blackberry is persistent, so some regrowth is expected. The good news is that with proper follow-up and maintenance, it gets weaker every time. We can also help you plant something in its place to make it harder for blackberry to return.

  • No. While blackberry is our specialty, we also clear other invasive plants, overgrown brush, and unwanted vegetation. If it’s crowding your space or damaging the land, we can help.

  • It’s true that blackberry can provide temporary cover for animals, but it’s not a healthy or sustainable habitat. Invasive blackberry chokes out native plants and reduces biodiversity. By removing it and replacing it with native species, we help rebuild stronger, more balanced ecosystems where local wildlife can truly thrive.

  • Once cleared, the land is like a blank canvas. If left bare, blackberry or other invasives may try to come back. That’s why we offer planting services to restore balance with native plants or low-maintenance ground cover that keeps regrowth in check.

 Pollinator Planting FAQ

  • Pollinator planting is about creating a space where bees, butterflies, birds, and other pollinators can thrive. We do this by choosing native plants that support the full life cycle of these species, from food sources to shelter. It’s a simple, beautiful way to give back to the land.

  • We focus on native species that naturally support local pollinators and ecosystems. Every plant we choose has a purpose, whether it’s blooming at the right time, providing food, or offering safe spaces for pollinators to rest and nest.

  • Absolutely. While we encourage native plants for their ecological benefits, we can work with non-invasive, non-native species that fit your vision as long as they don’t disrupt the local environment.

  • Not at all. Even a small patio planter can make a difference. Whether you have a backyard, a commercial lot, or just a balcony, there’s always room to support pollinators.

  • Yes. We create designs that are tailored to your space, sunlight, and soil, but also to your goals. Whether you want vibrant blooms, edible plants, or a low-key natural haven, we’ll help bring it to life.

  • That’s what we’re here for. You don’t need to know anything about plants, just that you want to support pollinators and restore the land. We’ll walk you through every step, no experience required.

  • Most of the plants we use are hardy and well-adapted to local conditions. Once established, they typically need less water and care than ornamental gardens. Nature knows how to take care of itself, and we just give it a little head start.

PROJECT AND PRICNG FAQ

  • Yes. We provide free site visits and quotes for most projects. Seeing the space in person helps us understand your needs and offer the best possible recommendations.

  • Every site is different, so we price based on factors like area size, density of growth, and ease of access. We’ll give you a clear, honest quote before any work begins so you know exactly what to expect.

  • There’s no set minimum, but for very small jobs, we may schedule you alongside nearby projects to make it more cost-efficient. Reach out and we’ll let you know what’s possible.

  • We do. If your project includes removal, planting, and maintenance, we can combine everything into a single quote to keep things simple and budget-friendly.

  • Yes. Whether you need just removal, planting, or follow-up care, we can tailor our services to fit. And if you need something we don’t offer directly, we’ll help you find the right person for the job.

  • We focus on removal and native planting, but we do collaborate with other trusted professionals when a project calls for irrigation, hardscaping, or more traditional landscaping. We’re happy to coordinate so you don’t have to juggle multiple contractors.

  • Yes. We offer monthly seasonal maintenance from May through October, including weeding, pruning, and plant health checks for installed planters or restoration sites. It’s an easy way to keep your space thriving year-round.

  • Absolutely. We’re equipped to handle both residential and commercial jobs, including shared green spaces, developments, and utility access areas. We’ll work with your team to meet site and budget needs.
