Ivy Clearance
Ivy is fine in the right place but once it gets established in the wrong place it can become a real nuisance.
Ivy grows into masonry cracks, damaging the stone face and enlarging cracks. After a while visibility becomes hindered and the situation gets out of control.
Over the winter we had a good cut-back of the railway bridge and more will be needed this winter.
Going forward, it should then be a simple maintenance job.
