Poison ivy removal in Manhattan
Inwood and Washington Heights slopes, townhouse gardens, terraces, and the managed landscapes along the rivers. We take it out at the root, without herbicides, and haul every piece of it away.
Most Manhattan poison ivy calls come from the north end, where Inwood and Washington Heights meet genuinely wild ground on the Hudson slopes, and from townhouse gardens and building landscapes where a bird-dropped seedling has been left alone long enough to become a vine.
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 Manhattan
The northern slopes are rocky, steep, and wooded, and the ivy anchors into ledge and old retaining walls where footing is bad and hand-pulling is a poor idea. In the built landscapes it turns up in raised beds, terrace planters, and along fence and rail lines, usually mistaken for Boston ivy or Virginia creeper until somebody reacts.
Manhattan work is almost entirely by hand with everything carried out, and on building and co-op properties there is a real duty-of-care angle: poison ivy along a path or in a shared courtyard belongs in the incident log. We can work outside resident hours and provide documentation of what was removed.

Common questions
Poison ivy removal in Manhattan, FAQs
- Do you remove poison ivy in Manhattan?
- Yes. We cover the whole of Manhattan, New York, including Inwood, Washington Heights, Upper West Side, Harlem and the surrounding communities. Removal is physical — vine, crown, and root run — with no herbicides used and every piece of plant material hauled off your property.
- Why is poison ivy such a problem in Manhattan?
- The northern slopes are rocky, steep, and wooded, and the ivy anchors into ledge and old retaining walls where footing is bad and hand-pulling is a poor idea. In the built landscapes it turns up in raised beds, terrace planters, and along fence and rail lines, usually mistaken for Boston ivy or Virginia creeper until somebody reacts.
- What does poison ivy removal cost in Manhattan?
- It depends on how much there is and how hard it is to reach, which is why we do not quote over the phone.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 Manhattan?
- Not from the root run we take out — that is what the written guarantee covers. Manhattan work is almost entirely by hand with everything carried out, and on building and co-op properties there is a real duty-of-care angle: poison ivy along a path or in a shared courtyard belongs in the incident log. We can work outside resident hours and provide documentation of what was removed.
