How we do the work

Our Process

Hand tools. No herbicides. Every root, every time, across four clear steps.

First things first,
let's make sure we're a fit

We're the best fit for property owners that are ready to finally get rid of poison ivy. Our method is extremely thorough, highly effective, takes time, and requires a budget to do the job right. Our typical jobs range between $1,000 and $5,000. Occasionally we do smaller projects, and sometimes much larger projects.

If this sounds good to you, we'll schedule a site inspection to learn more about the property and the problem.

When you're ready to go forward, we've got
four simple steps
for one clear yard.

From first visit to final regrowth check. Most properties are handled in two or three visits; long-neglected ones may take multiple.

01

We start with a site inspection.

A site inspection is a paid visit to the property in person to assess the full extent of the infestation and identify every plant. From there, we provide a written quote before any work begins.
Learn more about site inspections.

02

We get you on our schedule.

Most jobs run a half-day to two days. We book out in advance, but there's no telling the weather that far ahead. If rain or excessive heat moves in, we shift the schedule around it, give you advance notice quickly, and get you rebooked on new dates right away.

03

We remove the poison ivy.

Suited, gloved, methodical. Vines, runners, roots. We follow it around stone walls, up trees, into perennial beds. Wherever we find it, we'll remove it.

04

We follow up, as requested.

We suggest a regrowth check the following season to spot any stragglers and remove them the same way. That's how a property stays clear.

Do it this year — what are you waiting for?
Annual Maintenance

Keep poison ivy from ever getting a foothold again with our annual maintenance plan.

Even after a thorough removal, new growth can emerge from missed root fragments or seeds carried in by birds. Our annual maintenance program returns each season to catch anything that has resprouted and remove it before it has a chance to spread.

A small returning plant is fast and inexpensive to remove. A neglected one becomes a full-scale job again. Staying on top of it every year is the only way to keep a property permanently clear.

Our Approach

The work is the difference.

Truly caring of the environment, we use no chemicals. Only the tools, training, and time it takes to do this right. No hidden expenses, no mess to clean up, no damage to your existing plants.

We know the plant.

Trained in plant biology, not just brush clearing. We tell poison ivy from look-alikes, follow runners to the root, and know exactly what to pull.
