Now's The Time to Remove Invasive Honeysuckle

If you have woodland spaces on your property, you have an opportunity to change the trajectory of our forests and create a lasting legacy for your land. What’s more, your landscape and family will benefit. 

In Ohio and Kentucky, many woodland understories are filled with invasive bush honeysuckle. 

This pervasive plant crowds backyards—blocking paths, shielding views, causing a cluttered look and feel, and making it harder for families to enjoy their outdoor living spaces. 

It also prevents the growth of native plants, depriving pollinators of food and habitat and disrupting ecosystem functioning. 

Winter is the perfect time to remove invasive honeysuckle from your yard or back woods. 

Honeysuckle are dormant in the winter, so they won’t produce new growth after being cut back, which weakens them. They also don’t go to fruit until later in the year, so removing them now limits their ability to reproduce. And with the leaves gone, removal work can happen more efficiently. 

When your yard is overrun by honeysuckle, getting rid of it can feel daunting. Removing honeysuckle is very physical work that takes time to execute. If you’re overwhelmed by this weedy shrub, we can help

We offer several honeysuckle removal packages based on your needs. Our experienced team uses a combination of mechanical methods and natural solarization to ensure the process is effective and safe for people, pets, and wildlife.

When you remove honeysuckle, your landscape transforms. 

You reclaim space for function, beauty, and enjoyment—whether in the form of a patio or seating area for connecting with loved ones, a nature playground for the kids, edible gardens for growing your own food, pollinator gardens filled with native plants, or whatever else delights your senses and offers you serenity. 

You also create room for native plants to grow, which supports pollinators and wildlife, decreases erosion, improves the resilience of your back woods, and contributes to the restoration of our regional forests.
