Invasive Species Removal
in Ohio
Ohio has some of the worst invasive plant problems in the Midwest. These species spread aggressively, crowd out native plants, and make your property unusable. Mowing doesn't kill them — the root systems survive and grow back thicker every season.
Why Ohio's Invasive Species Keep Winning
Invasive plants were introduced to Ohio for landscaping, erosion control, and wildlife habitat. They escaped cultivation decades ago and now dominate millions of acres of woodland, field edges, and residential properties. Bush honeysuckle alone has invaded over 75% of Ohio's woodlands.
These species share a strategy: they outcompete native plants for sunlight, water, and soil nutrients, then spread rapidly through bird-dispersed berries and aggressive root systems. Each year without intervention, the infestation expands and becomes more expensive to control.
