Poison ivy removal in Somerset County
Great Swamp and Sourland edges, Basking Ridge and Bernardsville estate boundaries, and Raritan River corridor lots. We take it out at the root, without herbicides, and haul every piece of it away.
Somerset runs from the Great Swamp edge in the north through the estate country of Bernardsville and Far Hills down to the Sourland Mountain ground around Hillsborough and Montgomery, and poison ivy is well established across all of it.
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 Somerset County
The wet ground on the Great Swamp side is where you find poison sumac alongside the ivy, which is worth knowing because sumac is generally the most potent of the three and it looks like an innocuous shrub. On the Sourland side the ground is rocky and wooded and the ivy climbs; along the Raritan it follows the flood corridor.
On the wetland margins there is no chemical option that is remotely appropriate, and physical removal is also the only way to be certain what you took out was sumac and not something harmless. We identify before we remove and tell you exactly what was there.
