Pyracantha removal
After chopping out a 40yr old pyracantha last summer I'd never entertain the stuff, it was in a neighbours garden. Diabolical stuff.

Removing Ivy from Fence and ground
Get the ivy off the fence. It will work its way through the paneling and eventually damage it as well as upsetting your neighbour.
