Hello! We have 3 big ivy bushes that are about 2x1 meters and 3 meters high, we are removing them to build a deck around the house instead and to avoid any foundation issues with them being close to the house.

Is it enough to cut them down to their roots and they covering them with a tarp with the wood deck above?

Does ivy stand any chance to break trough with sunlight completely removed?
