Invasive species control requires a careful approach, and our team is up for the task.
Invasive species can threaten the health and beauty of your property, as well as take over the plants that you want in the outdoor space. These aggressive living things can spread quickly, competing for vital resources like nutrients, water, and sunlight. Often, the native plants suffer, including grass, shrubs, and trees. The spread of invasive plant species can also cause damage to the ecosystem and make your yard difficult to maintain.
Invasive species control requires a careful approach, and our team at WillowStone is up for the task. We bring decades of experience in the landscaping industry, and we always start by identifying unwanted species. Some of the most common species that can overtake an outdoor space in the Collingwood, Ontario area include European buckthorn, knotweed, Canada thistle, garlic mustard, and dog-strangling vines. If these plants are starting to cause problems on your property, contact us to take a closer look and come up with a plan to address the issue.

FAQs About Invasive Species Control
Our dedicated team at WillowStone has been passionate about transforming outdoor spaces into beautiful, lush landscapes for over three decades.

Hidden
Why are invasive species negative?
Although an exotic-looking plant may temporarily brighten up your garden, invasive species can often choke out native vegetation, take over the lawn, and make it difficult for the natural plants to regrow. Over time, invasive species can reduce biodiversity and cause maintenance issues for property owners. Our team is knowledgeable enough to identify invasive species and develop customized solutions to remove them without harming native plants.
How can I tell if my landscape has an invasive species?
Look for dense patches where a specific plant is overtaking a garden bed or natural area, plants sprouting in spots where you didn’t plant anything, vines starting to climb up trees, or unusual pest activity. If you notice any of these issues, we encourage you to contact our team for guidance.
Are all non-native plants considered to be invasive?
Nope! A plant is only deemed to be invasive if it spreads aggressively, outgrows native species, and causes damage to the natural ecosystem. Non-native plants can be perfectly fine to include in your landscape, as long as they’re managed properly.
What methods do you use to manage invasive species?
For best results, we typically use comprehensive strategies to target multiple causes at once. For instance, we may manually remove or trim the unwanted plants, treat the soil, plant other species to reduce the spread of invasive species, or use herbicides to kill off invasive insects. In every case, we’ll tailor our treatment plan to your unique needs and concerns.
