Poison ivy removal in The Bronx
Riverdale's wooded slopes, the Throgs Neck and City Island shorelines, and the Pelham Bay edge, where poison ivy runs the fence lines between houses and parkland. We take it out at the root, without herbicides, and haul every piece of it away.
The Bronx is the greenest borough by land area, and that is exactly the problem. Riverdale's steep wooded slopes, the shoreline neighborhoods around Throgs Neck and City Island, and every block that backs onto Pelham Bay or Van Cortlandt share a boundary with unmanaged woodland, and poison ivy uses that boundary as a highway into private yards.
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 The Bronx
Bronx poison ivy is overwhelmingly a vine rather than a groundcover here. It climbs the mature oaks and the chain-link, and on the rocky slopes above the Hudson it anchors into the schist outcrops where hand-pulling gets genuinely hazardous. On the shoreline blocks it mixes into the salt-tolerant scrub, so it goes unnoticed until someone clears brush.
On a Bronx lot the vine is almost never only yours. We take the root run right to the property line and off the trunks of your trees, and we bag and haul everything, because the one thing you cannot do here is put it out with the yard waste or run it through a chipper on the street.

- Why is poison ivy such a problem in The Bronx?
- Bronx poison ivy is overwhelmingly a vine rather than a groundcover here. It climbs the mature oaks and the chain-link, and on the rocky slopes above the Hudson it anchors into the schist outcrops where hand-pulling gets genuinely hazardous. On the shoreline blocks it mixes into the salt-tolerant scrub, so it goes unnoticed until someone clears brush.
- What does poison ivy removal cost in The Bronx?
- It depends on how much there is and how hard it is to reach, which is why we do not quote over the phone.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.
