Invasive Species Removal

Invasive plants have a way of taking over. What starts as a few plants along the edge of your property can quickly become a dense, tangled mess that crowds out the plants that belong there.

Native Roots provides invasive species removal for residential and commercial properties throughout the Greater Cincinnati area. We identify problematic plants, remove them using the appropriate methods, and help develop a plan for what comes next.

Because getting rid of the problem is only part of the job. The goal is a healthier landscape that can thrive long after we’re gone.

What We Remove

Our team works with a wide range of invasive and aggressive plant species, including:

• Bush honeysuckle
• Garlic mustard
• English ivy
• Wintercreeper
• Japanese knotweed
• Multiflora rose
• Privet
• Burning bush
• Bradford pear and other invasive woody plants
• And other invasive species found throughout our region

Not sure what you’re dealing with? That’s okay. We’ll help identify it.

Our Approach

Every property—and every infestation—is different. We assess the site, identify the species involved, and determine the most appropriate removal strategy based on the size and condition of the area.

Depending on the situation, removal may include:

Mechanical removal
Cutting, pulling, digging, and removing invasive plants and their root systems where appropriate.

Targeted treatment
When necessary, carefully targeted herbicide applications can be used as part of an integrated approach to control persistent or difficult-to-remove species.

Follow-up management
Invasive species rarely disappear after one visit. We can help monitor and manage regrowth to prevent the problem from returning.

What Comes Next?

Removing invasive plants can completely change a landscape—but bare ground isn’t the end goal.

Where appropriate, we can help develop a replanting plan that replaces invasive species with plants suited to the site and its growing conditions. That might mean a woodland restoration, a pollinator or wildlife garden, native trees and shrubs, or simply a healthier, more manageable landscape.

A Healthier Landscape Starts at the Roots.

Invasive species can impact more than just the appearance of your property. They can reduce plant diversity, crowd out desirable vegetation, and alter the way an ecosystem functions.

Whether you’re reclaiming a small section of your yard or tackling a larger wooded property, Native Roots can help you move from overgrown and invasive to healthy and intentional.
