Poison ivy removal in Suffolk County

The North and South Forks, Fire Island, and the woodland lots from Huntington to Riverhead — the county with more poison ivy than any other we serve. We take it out at the root, without herbicides, and haul every piece of it away.

Suffolk is the heart of this problem. The South Fork's beach paths and hedgerows, the North Fork's vineyard margins and farm roads, Fire Island's dune walks, and the deep pine and oak woodland from Huntington east all carry poison ivy in quantity, and much of it sits directly beside where people walk barefoot.

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 Suffolk County

Out here it grows in every form it has. Dune and beach-path poison ivy is low, dense, and mixed into bayberry and beach plum where it is genuinely hard to pick out. Inland, it climbs the pitch pine and white oak. Along the hedgerows and stone-and-hedge field boundaries of the Forks it forms thick continuous runs that follow the boundary for hundreds of feet.

Suffolk is also where the seasonal deadlines are real: a rental turning over, a camp or club opening, a farm stand or tasting room taking visitors. Tell us the date you need the ground usable and we will work to it. On Fire Island and Shelter Island we plan for ferry access and hand-carry, and we still take everything off the island rather than piling it.

Why is poison ivy such a problem in Suffolk County?
Out here it grows in every form it has. Dune and beach-path poison ivy is low, dense, and mixed into bayberry and beach plum where it is genuinely hard to pick out.

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It depends on how much there is and how hard it is to reach, which is why we do not quote over the phone.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