Poison ivy removal in Bergen County
Palisades-edge properties and wooded suburban lots from Alpine to Mahwah, where ivy comes off the ridge and the park boundary. We take it out at the root, without herbicides, and haul every piece of it away.
Bergen is dense suburbia pressed against genuinely wild ground. The Palisades ridge runs the whole eastern edge, Ramapo Mountain and the state forest sit along the north, and between them are some of the most tightly packed residential blocks in New Jersey. Poison ivy moves from the wild ground into the yards along that whole seam.
Wherever it is growing — a fence line, the base of a tree, a path edge, a woodland boundary — the fix is the same: take out the vine and the root run underneath, then get the material off the property so there is nothing left to touch.

Why it thrives here
The ground in Bergen County
Along the Palisades from Fort Lee up through Alpine and Tenafly, poison ivy grows heavily in the rocky wooded slope and climbs the mature hardwoods, so the vines reaching the back of a property are usually mature and well rooted. Inland toward Paramus and Ridgewood it is more a fence-line and bed-edge plant, spreading between adjoining yards.
Bergen properties are close together and highly landscaped, so protecting what you have planted is half the job. We work the line by hand where beds and specimen plantings are involved, and we haul everything, because in this county there is nowhere on the property to put it.

- Why is poison ivy such a problem in Bergen County?
- Along the Palisades from Fort Lee up through Alpine and Tenafly, poison ivy grows heavily in the rocky wooded slope and climbs the mature hardwoods, so the vines reaching the back of a property are usually mature and well rooted.

- What does poison ivy removal cost in Bergen County?
- It depends on how much there is and how hard it is to reach, which is why we do not quote over the phone. The on-site assessment and the written estimate are free, the price you sign is the price you pay, and haul-away is included rather than added at the end.
- Will it come back after you remove it in Bergen County?
- Not from the root run we take out — that is what the written guarantee covers. Bergen properties are close together and highly landscaped, so protecting what you have planted is half the job. We work the line by hand where beds and specimen plantings are involved, and we haul everything, because in this county there is nowhere on the property to put it.
