Cradley Heath's gardens climb hillsides, back onto canal and green corridors, and often have old brick walls that have collected ivy for a long time. We provide ivy removal in Cradley Heath for terraces and 20th century estates alike, cutting growth back from walls, fences, sheds and trees and taking the green waste away.
Many of these jobs involve awkward access, steps or sloping ground. Mention that when you get in touch, along with what the ivy is growing on, and we will plan the work so it is done safely and tidily.
On a hillside terrace, a garden can be a series of levels connected by steps, with a retaining wall at each one. Ivy covers the face of those walls and spills down from the one above. In Cradley Heath we work from the top down, so that cut growth does not land on ground we have already cleared or on the neighbour's side.
Carrying cuttings up and down steps is slow, which is why we let the ivy die back before bulk removal. Dry, withered ivy weighs far less than live growth, and it comes off the wall in sections instead of tearing. That is better for the wall, and it keeps the work steadier on uneven ground where footing really matters. It also means fewer trips.
In Cradley Heath, boundary walls between terraced gardens can be very old and built with soft mortar. Ivy roots into the joints, and a thick curtain of it can hide bulges, cracks and loose copings. Taking it off carefully is the only way to see what condition the wall is really in, and whether it is safe beside a path or a washing line.
We remove the growth without scraping the brick and leave stubborn root pads alone rather than gouging them out. Afterwards you can see the wall properly, and we tell you about anything that looks unsafe, such as leaning sections or missing stones, before you decide whether a repair is needed. That gives you the facts without any pressure to act, whatever you choose.
Ivy beside a canal or green corridor is often alive with wildlife, so we check for nests before cutting and keep clear of any that are active. When the work is done, we remove all the cuttings from your Cradley Heath garden, leaving the steps and paths clear. We also cover Old Hill, Rowley Regis and Halesowen, so we are rarely far away.
Based in Hall Green, so we are never far from the gardens we work in.
We look at the job before we price it, so you know what is involved.
Branches, clippings and rubbish from our jobs are cleared and the garden left tidy.

From our base in Hall Green we work across Birmingham, the Black Country, Solihull and parts of Worcestershire. Choose your area.
Yes. We work from the top down and plan how to carry waste down steps safely, without dropping cuttings onto the garden below. Let us know about gradients, gates and the number of steps in advance so that we arrive prepared.
Not necessarily, but it can hide damage. Roots work into soft mortar and thick growth covers cracks and bulges. We clear it carefully and report anything we find, so you can decide whether the wall needs any attention.
If it is on your side of the boundary we can cut and clear it, but we do not touch anything that belongs to someone else. We will help you work out what is yours and avoid any nesting birds.
