Overgrown yard cleanup and clearing

Waist-high grass. Blackberry over the fence. A side yard nobody has walked through in two years. Send us a photo.

Himalayan blackberry is the Willamette Valley's signature problem. Leave it one summer and it owns the fence line. Leave it two and it owns the back half of the lot. We cut it down, pull what we can at the crown, and haul every cane away.

Overgrown lawns get cut down in stages so we don't just leave a field of straw. Brush, saplings and volunteer trees along the property line get cleared. Anything buried in there, from old hoses to fence panels, gets found and set aside for you.

This is the job people are embarrassed to call about. Don't be. It's the most satisfying work we do.

What's included

  • Tall grass cut down in stages
  • Blackberry and bramble removal
  • Brush and sapling clearing
  • Fence line and property line clearing
  • Ivy pulled off fences and trees
  • Full haul-off of green waste

When to book in Salem

Late winter is ideal for blackberry because the canes are easy to see and nothing is nesting. Summer clearing works too, it's just hotter and pricklier. The worst time is next year.

Signs it's time

  • You bought a house with a jungle out back
  • The blackberry is coming over from the neighbor's side
  • Code enforcement or an HOA sent a letter
  • The side yard is impassable

Overgrown Yard Clearing FAQ

Can you remove blackberry for good?

We cut it and pull the crowns we can reach, which knocks it way back. Blackberry spreads by root, so a follow-up visit or two keeps it from coming back strong.

How do you quote overgrown yards?

Text or email a few photos and we can usually give you a range the same day. For big lots we'll walk it first.

Do you take down trees?

We clear saplings and small volunteer trees. Large trees need a certified arborist, and we're happy to point you to one.
