Ali and his crew were fantastic. He sent me an e-mail stating he was on his way and what time to expect him, arrived earlier than estimated time. Ali said it would take about an hour, his crew immediately went to work and roughly 35 minutes later I was Poison Ivy and weed free. They bagged everything and took it with them. Ali was professional, and friendly and his price was VERY reasonable, I recommend that if you have poison ivy/oak and weeds you should call him first, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!

Approximately 2 acres with 3 areas of extensive poison ivy growth. Poison ivy removal by the roots. This was 3 days of difficult work. No harmful chemicals were used. Very responsive, courteous, professional and hard working crew. Very thorough job. They removed all the poison ivy and took it away. All the ground cover that was removed to get to the poison ivy was placed in a dumpster that we provided. They worked in the rain, on the weekend and handled bees. Our yard is now workable. Can’t say enough good things. Very pleased and would hire again.

Ali and his team were amazing! From the time I frantically reached out to Ali, through the completion of the removal, he was prompt and courteous and his team worked to take care of exactly what we had discussed, they worked diligently throughout a downpour of rain! Ali walked the entire property with me and pointed out additional areas that I had not been aware of, and addressed those as well! Highly recommend!

Amazing. Ali came out right away to give me and estimate. Set a date to when he would be able to come out to do the work and was out within the week. Ali and his crew dug out every one of the plants-vines. Price was exceptional. Quick response and very professional. I will definitely be using his service again when needed...

We are in the process of renovating a house, but don't live at the house yet, so all my communications with Ali were through e-mail. As soon as spring arrived we noticed that the large azalea bush in the yard was entwined with lots of poison ivy. I knew it was too much for me to handle. I sent Ali an email with a picture of the problem area. He responded promptly, went to the property, assessed the situation and gave me a very exact itemized estimate of what it would cost to remove the large bushes, all the roots, and all the surrounding poison ivy. It was a fair price for the work to be done so I gave him the OK to do the work. The work was done quickly and expertly just as I had hoped. It was a pleasure working with Ali. He was polite, knowledgeable, prompt and did exactly what he said he would do in the time frame he said he would do it. What a relief to have the poison ivy gone. I will gladly recommend him to anyone who needs this type of work done and would also hire him again for any other large gardening work we need to have done.

It went amazingly great! Ali came out, at no cost, to take a look at the work I needed to have done. I explained a few cautions I had about the work and wanted to make sure my current gardens were safe from any kind of damage. I explained where I wanted them to try and keep their paths and where to try and stay away from. They did exactly what I asked, perfectly! Not a single bit of damage. This is the first time in my almost 3 years of living at this house that a company did not damage anything. Besides that, the work they did was beyond my expectations. They not only removed all of the poison ivy, but also all the other vines and weeds. They took away all the poison ivy and moved the rest of the plants in the very back of my property where I asked them to. They were beyond professional, friendly, and just a pleasure to deal with. I would HIGHLY recommend Ali and his crew to anyone who had a poison ivy problem. I did not want any kind of chemical treatments, whether environmentally safe or not. The only way to truly deal with poison ivy in my opinion is to dig it up, and that is exactly what they did. The only disappointment I have is that I probably won't need to hire them again. But if the need ever arises, I will do so in a heart beat! Thank you Ali, Mo and everyone else! You all did a great job!
Description of Work: I had a very large area behind my house that was infested with poison ivy. It was growing and tangled up with various other vines and weeds.

Ali responded promptly to my call. He came out and checked out my entire yard to make sure we had the scope of work defined. The poison ivy was wound in the fence and up the tree. Ali gave me an estimate and scheduled the work for a few days out. He came back on schedule and cleaned up all the debris after himself. There is no evidence of that poison ivy nearly a year later

Ali responded promptly to my call and arranged a time to come and check out the situation. He came out, checked my entire yard, and then provided a quote to remove the poison ivy. He returned and completed the work within a few days. He was very professional and removed all the debris from the yard. There is no sign of the poison ivy in that spot almost a year later.

Ali and his crew did an amazing job! He spread the work out over two weekends. They not only removed all of the poison ivy - roots and all - but also all of the other vines weeds and brush across a 200’ stretch of fence line. Nothing was left but bare ground, as well as clean tree trunks up to about 15 feet. This was done all by hand with hand tools and elbow grease. They also removed all of the foliage and left the yard spotless. My wife was skeptical, but afterwards she remarked how great it looks and that it was worth every penny. I will have them come back next year to finish off some more growth on the other side of my property. If you have poison ivy or unwanted brush - these are the guys to get the job done!
Description of Work: We had a massive poison ivy infestation along the back of our property, along with vines and brush that were choking the trees. Some of the growth was at least 12-15 years old judging by the size of the vines.

They do not use chemicals but rather dig out every sprout. They are careful to avoid your plantings. They also came to our home this year just to weed our beds and did a beautiful job. The staff is friendly and respectful.
