Did I Ruin My Creeping Fig?

Question

Landscapers came during the summer to spray weeds and I believe sprayed the ivy killing it. This entire section pictured was dead vine without anymore green ivy. I pruned the entire section and left the thick roots, however I am unsure if I did more damage and am wondering if the vines and leaves with grow back this spring. Or do you think I need to dig up the plant and start with a fresh new one?

If they used a weed killer that kills the roots, the vine probably will not come back. You could wait till spring to see. If nothing comes back by May, go ahead and replace it. Cutting it back did not harm it if it was still alive.
