BTW, it says that Round-Up is the surest way to keep English ivy in check,
but you cannot get rid of it and controlling it requires repeated
applications every few months.

There is also the boiling water and salt and vinegar method, which would
be more work but probably won't kill nearby plants.

It may be that just clipping it back every few weeks is good enough.  Hard
to say.
