A wall of ivy cut back to the fence line.
Before the work, ivy had grown up and over the back fence into a thick, flowering mass. It hid most of the fence boards, leaned out over the border and crowded the shrubs underneath.
We cut it back hard along the whole run, taking the top and the face back to the old woody stems. The fence boards are visible again and the overhang above the border has gone. The shrubs in the border were left in place.
