Do you have unwanted blackberry bushes at your work yard or site that you have been wanting to manage? Blackberries are aggressive and can quickly take over roadsides, fencelines, yards, and industrial properties. If left unmanaged, blackberry patches not only create an eyesore but also lead to safety issues, blocked access and a place for pests.
At Western Weed Control, we recommend a two-step approach in the fall for the most effective results.
September Herbicide Treatment
In early fall, while blackberry plants are still actively growing, we recommend applying a targeted herbicide treatment. This timing allows the herbicide to move down into the root system, providing lasting control and reducing the chance of plants bouncing back as aggressively in the spring.
October/November Cut & Cleanup
Once the herbicide treatment has had time to take effect, our team follows up with a cut and mulch of the blackberry in October -November. This service clears access areas, reduces hazards, and improves property appearance. Mulching breaks down the material and minimizes debris left on site.
Why This Approach Works
- Targeted control first: September treatment weakens plants at the root.
- Effective cleanup later: Fall cutting restores visibility, access, and safety.
- Long-term results: Combining chemical control with physical cut prevents regrowth and reduces future maintenance costs.
Western Weed Control specializes in invasive plant management for municipalities, industrial sites, and acreage properties. With our fall approach, you can manage the blackberry overgrowth keeping your site safe, functional, and looking its best.
