🌿 Before & After – Yucca Removal 🪓
Here’s a job we recently completed where we had to remove several large yuccas that were planted way too close to the fence line.
As you can see in the photos, they’d grown so big they actually pushed the fence out of shape and bent the posts. These things might look great when they’re small, but over time they can cause a lot more damage than people expect.
💥 Why it’s a problem:
Yuccas have really strong root systems, and their bulky growth can:
Push over fences
Damage paving and concrete
Even mess with plumbing if they’re near pipes
In this case, the fence will now need repairs, which could have been avoided with a bit more spacing early on.
If you’re thinking of planting yuccas, just make sure to keep them at least 1.5 to 2 metres away from fences or buildings to avoid future headaches.
If you’ve got something similar happening in your yard and need it sorted, give us a shout, we’re happy to help!
