Hi, I’m a landscaper in CO focused on doing things the permie way and I’ve got a client with a backyard that’s currently a massive thicket of Siberian elm, wild plum, and buckthorn... all extremely profuse suckerers. They want a clean slate. My plan is to cut it all to ground level, remove all the cuttings so the ground is level, and sheet mulch over the cut stumps with cardboard and a thick 4-6” fine mulch. I’m expecting to get some suckers that conevbqck and push through which we’ll stay on top of cutting next year, but not too many. Has anyone done this for particularly vigorous brush like these? Am I going be cutting suckers coming up for years to come?
