Hall Green is where we are based, so the semis, bungalows and long back gardens of the B28 area are streets we know well. We provide ivy removal in Hall Green for fences, sheds, garages, walls, conifers and hedges, cutting the growth back, clearing it once it has died, and taking all the green waste away with us.
A lot of the ivy we see here has been left for a season or two and then suddenly appears to have doubled. If that sounds familiar, describe what you can see and we will tell you how we would deal with it, and in what order.
Inter-war semis and bungalows in Hall Green tend to have long, narrow back gardens with a fence down each side and conifers or Leylandii along the bottom. Ivy loves that setup. It runs from the base of a fence to the top in a single growing season, then pushes into the next panel and the hedge beside it, and soon the whole boundary is green.
In a conifer or Leylandii hedge, ivy is woven into the foliage, so tearing it out takes the host plant with it. We cut each stem low down and let the growth die before clearing it by hand. The hedge may look thin inside afterwards, because the ivy has been shading it, and we will warn you of that before we begin.
Garages at the side of the house and sheds at the end of the garden are the buildings ivy reaches first. In Hall Green it gets under felt roofs, into the joints of pebbledash and behind the fascia. Cutting it away from the roof edge is the first priority, because that is where it causes damp and lifts coverings, and once that edge is clear the rest of the wall is simple.
On bungalow walls, ivy often grows up to the gutter and sits behind downpipes. We cut it at the base, wait until it withers, then remove it in manageable sections and clear out the gutter edge. Sticky root pads on render or brick are left if they refuse to come away cleanly, because forcing them damages the surface for good, and a few dark marks are the lesser evil.
Because we live and work around Hall Green, we are often nearby already, which makes an ivy job easy to fit in. We check hedges and thick growth for nests before cutting and wait if any are in use. Everything we cut is removed from site. We also cover Acocks Green, Moseley, Kings Heath and Shirley, all close to Hall Green.

From our base in Hall Green we work across Birmingham, the Black Country, Solihull and parts of Worcestershire. Choose your area.
Yes, though it takes care. We cut the stems at the base and let the ivy die before clearing it, which avoids tearing the hedge apart. Leylandii can be bare inside, so the hedge may look thin afterwards until it regrows.
It can. Ivy gets under the felt edges and holds moisture against the roof, which loosens the covering over time. We cut it away from the roof first, then clear it from the walls once it has died.
Yes. All the cuttings are bagged or loaded and removed, so you are not left with a heap at the bottom of the garden. Tell us if side access is narrow and we will plan how to carry it out.
