What’s included

  • Overgrown shrubs and hedges pulled out, roots and all
  • Brush and vines cleared
  • Everything hauled away
  • Ground left ready for what comes next

When a planting is past saving, we pull it out, roots and all, instead of cutting it to a stump. Brush and vines are cleared from fence lines, corners, and beds, and every bit of it is hauled away. The ground is left ready for what comes next — raked soil for a new bed, or level ground for a lawn.

A rip-out usually leads into something new: new garden beds, a new sod lawn, or plantings from landscaping design. If the shrubs can still be brought back, bush trimming may be all you need.

On the job

Real removal jobs are shown here: a front bed covered in spreading groundcover cleared to raked soil and edged with stacked stone, and an overgrown backyard along a vinyl fence cleared of weeds and brush in a day.
