Why Invasive Plant Control Matters
Invasive species choke out native plants, degrade soil health, and provide no food or shelter for local wildlife. Our approach restores biodiversity and protects your property for the long term.

Our Management Approach
Mechanical
Removal
Selective Herbicide Use
Follow-Up Monitoring
We avoid chemicals whenever possible. When herbicide is required, we use targeted applications
to eliminate invasives, not your ecosystem.
Stopping Regrowth Before It Starts
Some species, like bamboo and thistle, require additional visits to ensure complete eradication. We offer maintenance plans to keep your landscape healthy and invasive-free
Keeping Your Landscape Thriving
Landscapes are never static—they grow, change, and adapt with time. Mayapple’s maintenance services are designed to support that natural evolution. From fine gardening to ecological management, our team provides expert, ongoing care while keeping you connected to the process, so your outdoor spaces remain vibrant and sustainable year after year.
Helping You Understand the Difference
From Removal to Renewal
We teach clients how to identify invasives during site visits. We also recommend free community programs like Lancaster Conservancy’s homeowner consultations.
Invasive removal and native planting go hand-in-hand. Once invasives are gone, we reintroduce native species to restore balance and beauty to your property.
