Email Hall's LandscapingStep one to properly removing English Ivy is to pull it all by hand. Any other method of removing English Ivy is far less effective and is a short-term fix at best. There is no replacement for getting down on your hands and knees and pulling the Ivy out!
Along with the Ivy, we remove the other weeds, vines, junk plants, and volunteers from the area too. That way, the area becomes instantly usable space once we're finished!
Cutting the Ivy and other vines at the bases of trees and things along those lines will allow the Ivy to die off. That way, the Ivy will eventually fall away on it's own so as not to harm the trees or whatever else the vines may have been climbing on.
While we at Hall's Landscaping avoid using poisons whenever possible, English Ivy removal is one of the things we find it to be most effective for. It isn't necessary, but it will help keep more of the Ivy away for a longer period of time.
Covering the area where the English Ivy is removed is ideal since the newly exposed soil will be acidic and moist, which will lead to very quick weed growth and the eventual return of some of the Ivy. By covering the area with mulch or woodchips will help keep the junk away for longer!
Having an idea of what you want to do with the newly cleared areas helps since once you develop the area, almost none of the Ivy or junk should return. New Sod will prevent the Ivy from returning, new plantings create shadows which slows down weed growth, and just keeping it cleaned and covered will leave you a nice, open area.
