ENGLISH IVY REMOVAL IN FALLS CHURCH
Hall's Landscaping is a twelve-time Super Service Award winner in the category of Ivy Removal on Angi. Hall's is also the top-rated landscaper on Yelp and Google for Ivy Removal services. English Ivy is the bane of any homeowner's existence — while it has its uses in some landscapes, for the most part, English Ivy is a nuisance with drawbacks that far outweigh its benefits. Removal of English Ivy is a slow, painful, and labor-intensive process that is better left to the pros. That is where Hall's Landscaping comes in — our award-winning Ivy Removal services are at the absolute top of the class in Northern Virginia.
When removed by other companies, English Ivy has an average rate of return of around 15% on the low side and about 25% on the high side after one year. When Hall's Landscaping is done removing English Ivy, the average return rate in one year is well under 10% and sometimes as low as zero. The simple fact is that Hall's Landscaping removes English Ivy more thoroughly and effectively than any other landscaper in Northern Virginia — and we have the awards and reviews to prove it.
What makes the difference? Hall's removes the entire root system — not just the visible vines — which is the only way to achieve a lasting result. Many companies cut the ivy back and call it done, leaving the root mass intact and allowing regrowth within months. Hall's takes the time to do it right, which is why our return rates are a fraction of the industry average. We work across all of Northern Virginia including Falls Church, Arlington, Fairfax County, McLean, Vienna, and Annandale, and we bring the same level of care and thoroughness to every job.
After your ivy is removed, many of our customers choose to replace it with cleaner ground cover, fresh mulch, or new plantings to complete the transformation. Hall's can handle all of it in one visit. Contact us today for your free ivy removal estimate.

Why is English ivy so hard to remove?
English ivy spreads both above and below ground through an extensive root system that clings tightly to soil, tree roots, and structures. Cutting the vines without removing the roots guarantees regrowth — often within a single season. Effective removal requires digging out the entire root mass, which is physically demanding and time-consuming. It's one of the main reasons homeowners who try DIY ivy removal end up calling Hall's anyway.
What is Hall's ivy return rate compared to other companies?
When removed by other companies, English ivy typically returns at a rate of 15-25% within one year. Hall's Landscaping achieves a return rate of under 10% — and sometimes zero — by removing the full root system rather than just cutting back the surface growth. That difference is why Hall's has won the Angi Super Service Award for Ivy Removal twelve times.
Is English ivy damaging to my property?
Yes — English ivy causes several types of damage when left unchecked. It climbs trees and blocks sunlight, eventually killing them. The root system can penetrate brick, mortar, and siding, causing structural damage over time. It also creates dense ground cover that harbors rodents, insects, and moisture against your foundation. The longer it's left, the more extensive and expensive the damage becomes.
When is the best time to remove English ivy in Northern Virginia?
Ivy can be removed year-round, but late fall and winter are often ideal in Northern Virginia. The ground is softer after rains, the ivy is less actively growing, and without leaf cover it's easier to see the full extent of the root system. Spring is also a popular time as homeowners prepare their yards for the season. Hall's schedules ivy removal jobs throughout the year.
What do you do with the ivy after it's removed?
Hall's hauls all removed ivy and root material away completely. English ivy should never be composted as it can re-root from cuttings — it needs to be properly disposed of, which we handle as part of every job. You're left with a clean, cleared area ready for whatever comes next.
