On-site Removal Assessment – $75

The visit includes a property walk-through to identify where poison ivy is growing, how established it is, where the risk is, and what it may take to remove or control it.

Before scheduling, I require a brief intake conversation and photos of the area. This helps me confirm the property is within my service area, understand the situation, and decide whether the project is a good fit.

Not every property is the right match for how I work, and this step helps avoid wasted time.

During the visit, I’ll explain what I’m seeing, how the poison ivy is spreading, and what your options are.

If removal is scheduled, $25 of the assessment fee may be applied toward the project.

Virtual Homeowner Consultation — $50

A virtual consultation is for homeowners who want advice specific to their situation without scheduling an in-person visit.

This is a 20–30 minute phone, FaceTime, or Google Meet consultation. You’ll send photos ahead of time, and I’ll talk through what you’re seeing, where the risk may be, what to avoid, and whether it seems reasonable to handle yourself or request an on-site assessment.

This is a good fit if you want targeted advice but are not ready for removal work or are outside my service area.

This consultation does not include an in-person visit or a removal estimate.

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.

Cost

Every property is different, and I only provide removal estimates after seeing the area in person.

What affects the cost:

• How established the poison ivy is
• How far it has spread, especially during peak summer growth
• What it is growing into, through, or around
• Access to the area
• Level of physical risk
• Tools and protection required
• Amount of removal and disposal

The on-site assessment is where I evaluate the situation and outline the time and cost to handle it.

Removal and what to expect

Residential removal is billed at $250/hour with a 3-hour minimum, so most removal projects start at $750.

For safety and exposure reasons, I typically limit poison ivy removal work to 3–4 hours per day.

After the on-site assessment, I’ll outline the scope, estimated time, and cost based on the property and your priorities.

Removed material is carefully bagged in heavy-duty contractor bags and sealed for safe disposal.

On-site assessments and removal are limited to my service area. If your property is outside the area, a virtual consultation may still be available.
