Long Island
Poison ivy removal in Nassau County
North Shore wooded estates, dense South Shore blocks, and the barrier-beach scrub from Long Beach east. We take it out at the root, without herbicides, and haul every piece of it away.
Nassau splits cleanly in two. Along the North Shore (Great Neck, Manhasset, Oyster Bay, Glen Cove) the wooded estate lots have given poison ivy decades of undisturbed tree line to climb. Across the South Shore, from Rockville Centre through Massapequa, lots are small and close-set, and one untreated fence line quickly becomes a whole street's problem.
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 Nassau County
Long Island's sandy, well-drained soil suits poison ivy about as well as any ground in the Northeast; it roots easily and spreads fast. On the North Shore it climbs, sometimes 40 feet up an oak with a stem as thick as your wrist. Down on the barrier beach at Long Beach and Lido it stays low and dense in the dune scrub, which is precisely where people cut through to the sand.
On tight South Shore lots the removal has to be surgical, so we work the line by hand and protect fences, sprinkler heads, and pool equipment as we go. On the larger North Shore properties the real work is getting the mature vines off the specimen trees without damaging the trees, which is a different skill from clearing brush.

- What does poison ivy removal cost in Nassau 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- It depends on how much there is and how hard it is to reach, which is why we do not quote over the phone.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 Nassau County?
- Not from the root run we take out — that is what the written guarantee covers.
