Why choose a specialist
Poison ivy is a hazardous plant problem, not just an ugly weed.
A quick cutback can make the area look better, but it does not necessarily remove the plant or reduce the exposure risk. If the roots, runners, vines, or contaminated debris are still there, the problem can come back or spread into areas where people, pets, or kids walk.
RMPI approaches poison ivy differently. The focus is on how the plant is growing, where it may be rooted, what surfaces may become contaminated, and what needs to happen before removal work begins.
The goal is not just to clear leaves. The goal is to reduce the poison ivy problem with a strategy.
I’d use the second version on the front page. It is more direct.
Virtual Homeowner Consultation — $40
A Virtual Consult is for homeowners who want help figuring out what they are looking at and what to do next before they pull, spray, cut, or hire someone.
This is a 20–30 minute phone, FaceTime, or Google Meet consultation. You send photos ahead of time, and we talk through what you are seeing, where the risk may be, what to avoid, and whether the situation looks manageable or needs in-person help.
This is a good fit if you want practical guidance, are outside my service area, or are not ready to schedule an on-site assessment.
Virtual consults do not include an in-person visit or removal estimate.
On-site Removal Assessment – $75
An on-site assessment is for properties in the service area where the poison ivy needs to be reviewed in person before removal is scheduled.
Before scheduling, a brief intake conversation and photos of the area are required. This helps confirm the property is within the service area, clarify what is happening, and determine whether the assessment is a good fit.
During the visit, the property is reviewed to identify where the poison ivy is growing, how established it appears to be, how it may be spreading, where the exposure risks are, and what removal may involve.
The assessment also looks at access, density, obstacles, vines, roots, brush, stumps, garden beds, fencing, and anything that may affect the difficulty or cost of removal.
Not every property is the right match for targeted manual removal. The assessment helps avoid wasted time and gives the property owner a clearer sense of whether removal, monitoring, spraying, or another approach makes sense.
When appropriate, a removal estimate can be provided based on what can be seen during the visit.
If removal is scheduled, $25 of the assessment fee is applied toward the project.
Commercial Consultation and Training
Commercial poison ivy situations are handled separately from residential services.
I work with landscapers, builders, realtors, HOAs, municipalities, school districts, property managers, and businesses that need help identifying risk, planning next steps, training staff, or deciding how to handle poison ivy safely.
Commercial support may include:
- Photo or video review
- Site assessment
- Staff or crew training
- Written report or action plan
- Removal planning
- Commercial removal proposal
Commercial consultations start at $250.
Commercial site assessments start at $500.
Written reports, training, and larger property work are quoted separately.
