overgrown next door

My garden is next to an overgrown woodland which has loads of ivy and snowberry which regularly comes up through my grass. Not a problem as the mower keeps it at bay and we inherited no flower beds.

Problem is I'm planning some flower beds alongside the fence that borders the woodland and imagine the snowberry and ivy shoots are going to be a real problem.

Anyone got any suggestions how to deal with this?
thanks

 

I cannot see how you can keep the ivy out except pulling it out as it appears. I get it all over my garden, mainly as seedlings that quickly turn rampant. At least it is fairly easy to remove. You just grab it and it comes away as a huge mass.
Snowberry? Possibly a physical barrier placed along the boundary. I placed some spare paving slabs on edge in a trench to keep Cupressus roots out of a border. It worked well but the job nearly killed me, it was so hard.

 

We've had a similar problem. One solution is to create a 'cordon sanitaire' by putting in a roll of 12" plastic edging hard against the fence and then another barrier about a foot away. Dig out the top four inches between the barriers and then lay membrane and cover with chipped bark. Thereafter dose the barrier with a growth supressing weed killer or something like sodium chlorate a couple of times a year.
