Invasive Plant Removal in Portland, OR
Eliminate Invasives, Restore Native Ecosystems
Professional Invasive Plant Removal in Portland, OR in Portland
Invasive plants are one of the biggest threats to Portland-area landscapes. Himalayan blackberry, Scotch broom, English ivy, and Japanese knotweed grow aggressively, crowding out native plants, reducing biodiversity, creating fire hazards, and damaging property. Our forestry mulching equipment eliminates invasives efficiently and suppresses regrowth.
Portland's climate creates ideal growing conditions for invasives. Blackberry forms impenetrable thickets with thorny canes that grow 30 feet in a season. Ivy climbs trees and smothers understory plants. Knotweed spreads through underground rhizomes and is nearly impossible to eliminate without professional equipment. Our mulcher grinds the entire plant — stems, leaves, and roots — into mulch, destroying the material and preventing seed dispersal.
