# Poison Ivy Removal in Wellesley, MA.

Wellesley yards are built landscapes: mature ornamentals, clipped hedges, edged beds, and hardscape that took years and real money to establish. That is exactly the setting where a spray tank causes collateral damage and where hand-pulling earns its keep. I remove poison ivy from Wellesley properties the same way I do in Weston, one root system at a time, working around what you've planted instead of through it.

§ 01 · Local Field Notes

## Where poison ivy shows up in Wellesley.

1. 01
   Ornamental beds and hedge lines. Poison ivy threads through pachysandra, ivy beds, and hedge bases where it hides in plain sight among plants you want to keep.
2. 02
   Brook and path corridors. Properties near Fuller Brook and the aqueduct paths pick up seedlings from the wooded margins year after year.
3. 03
   Shaded north-side foundations and fence lines. Close neighbors mean shared fence lines, and vines don't respect the property boundary.
4. 04
   Pool surrounds and play areas. The spots where kids and guests are barefoot are the spots where a single missed vine matters most.

§ 02 · Engagement

## The same engagement as Weston.

Every project follows the engagement I run at home in Weston. You send photos through the form on my homepage. If it's a fit, I schedule the on-site Poison Ivy Survey (https://westonivyleague.com/uv-survey). I walk the property, document every active zone, and deliver a custom map with a fixed-price removal proposal (https://westonivyleague.com/proposal). Removal is hand-pulling: leaves, vines, crowns, and roots, bagged and hauled off-site the same day, with a 30-day return visit included. There is no travel surcharge anywhere in my standing service area.

§ 03 · Method Fit

## Why hand-pulling fits Wellesley.

Spray does not discriminate between the poison ivy and the three-hundred-dollar ornamental beside it, and drift near a hedge or bed is unavoidable. Hand extraction takes the target plant and nothing else, and the urushiol hazard leaves in a contractor bag the same day instead of standing dead on your fence for years.

§ 04 · Reference Desk

## Common questions from Wellesley.

Q.

Do you charge extra to come to Wellesley?

+ −

No. Wellesley is part of my standing service area. Same process, same standard of work, no travel surcharge.

Q.

Can you work inside established beds without tearing them up?

+ −

Yes, that's most of what I do. Hand extraction lets me lift a root run out from under groundcover and around ornamentals. Where a root travels beneath something I can't disturb, I document it and tell you exactly what was left and why.

Send me the worst spot. I'll take it from there.

The 2026 calendar is closed. This season's schedule is fully committed, and I am not taking on new surveys or removals for the remainder of the year. The calendar reopens in spring 2027.
