This Takoma Park backyard was completely overtaken by English ivy and other invasive species beneath a mature tree canopy. Our team carried out a deep site cleanup, carefully removing invasives, clearing debris, and protecting the existing trees. What was once overgrown and impenetrable will be transformed into a native landscape that rebuilds soil health, restores ecological balance, supports pollinators and wildlife, and creates a healthier, more resilient environment—while inviting quiet moments of connection with nature.
