I worked on a house years ago that had ivy covering the exterior walls. They removed the ivy and found that the ivy had penetrated the stucco and after removing the stucco to replace it they found a large number of the wall studs to be rotten from the years of rain getting in. A paint job turned into a major remodel.

Then he told this to my grandfather and he said is she crazy she will destroy the whole yard but he agreed to let his son have some they planted it and it turned into a monster the routes where huge like a tree it destroyed the wall that was made of rocks and 10-20 years they renovated the school and the had to bring a bulldozer to dig out the wall and get rid of the ivy

Herbicide? Hint - where you cut that IVY stem, take some tape (doesnt matter what kind, duck tape, etc) and wrap it AROUND the cut, so you build up a 'cup', with the cut face of the stem on the bottom. In that 'cup you make, pour some table salt, and let nature take its course. No herbicide needed.

Back in the 50s and 60s, Ivy was being sold at garden centres with the advice to let it grow up your house wall. Then, of course, the problems occurred that this was indeed an extremely bad idea. In the 80s while working for a garden maintenance company we had dozens of customers who asked for their ivy to be removed. We would cut it off at the base of the plant, then another cut a couple of feet up. As the base tried to regrow we would attend and spray or paint with a very strong licenced herbicide. The top growth would slowly die and drop to the ground. 12 months later we would attend and remove the now very dead ivy by hand which was so much easier than trying to remove a very stubborn living ivy plant.

@Cragified

Depends entirely on the species of vine. If it uses the pads like here then it's easier to take off live as it will come down together instead of breaking apart. However, if it is the kind and twirls around things then that stuff you have to kill first or you'll rip whatever it's attached too off trying to get it down.

@cliffcarlo180

There are about 5 species of Ivy but only two were widely sold at garden centres. Ivy, any plant of the genus Hedera, with about five species of evergreen woody vines (rarely shrubs), in the ginseng family (Araliaceae). The name ivy especially denotes the commonly grown English ivy (H. helix), which climbs by aerial roots with adhering disks that develop on the stems. These were the two species that were treated and removed as described causing little or no damage to the supporting wall or structure.

Off hand question, if you had a more durable surface (brick) could you 'pressha warsh it?

I had a guy that wanted English ivy removed from a stone house. There were about forty places where it emerged from the ground with different sized stalks and trunks. I cut them all off two and ten inches from the ground leaving a foot wide void. I put a commercial stump killer on all the bits coming out of the ground and told the guy to leave it six months before we pull the top bits of his walls. He phoned nine months later when it had all died. The whole lot was pulled off in one complete piece. It was the exact shape of the house including dormer windows coming out of the roof. The big thing is letting stuff die off before pulling as all the little tendrils let go.

Hi TOH, why wouldn't you first spray the ivy with some sort of vegetationcide? Wouldn't it dry up the ivy and then make the ivy easier to remove by hand and scraper?

For a project that size and height, especially for someone not accustomed to tall ladders and using power tools simultaneously, it might be better to just buy some used scaffolding and work your way around the building, one section at a time. Clean, prep, and paint at your leisure in safety, and scaffolding is much more comfortable work on for hours on end. Then sell the scaffolding when you are finished, likely for what you paid for it.

Yanking out vines is a do it yourself project. Sanding and painting your house is not. If the siding has to be replaced leave the Ivy up or let the contractor do it when the dumpster is in your driveway anyway. If you have to do it then pour ground clear and cut the largest roots at or below the ground first. Wait a few weeks until everything is dead and brittle. Wear gloves and pull from the ground up and you can get most of it without ladders or scaffolding. The rest will die off and fall.

Never knew ladder had an h and another a in it lol. I think I would have left that vine on there until I was ready to replace the siding. Scraping it, sanding, primer, then paint sounds like more $$$$(labor) than just ripping it off and replacing it. I also didn't think you could paint alumimum siding, figured it would be very difficult to get the paint to stick/stay on long term.

He from Boston for sure !

When it starts to leaf he has to damage the leaves then paint it with herbicide. Ivy has a thick waxy layer on the leave that block the herbiside

I hope he got a bargain on the house itself with all that ivy. Wish they'd add the final shot in for these videos - we want to see how it looks now!

Solution is simple. Cut the vine at its stem and let it die. Should be apple to easily pull it off then. Any parts of the Ivy that remain green go back and cut the stem. I've done this on Ivy and any vine that climbs trees many times. You just have to be willing to have your house look ugly while it's dying off. Even if it doesn't completely die off the tenacles will weaken.
