You’ve probably been told there’s only one way to get rid of Poison Hemlock:

Suit up in hazmat gear. Risk chemical burns. Hand-pull it. Weed whack it. Repeat forever.

But what if that wasn’t true?

At Ascent Yard Care, we offer a smarter, safer solution—a proven wildlife-safe treatment that kills Poison Hemlock right down to the taproot.

No risk of exposure to toxic sap. No spreading seeds by mowing. No impact to the soil. No impact to pollinators, pets, or wildlife.

No excavation. No dangerous hand-pulling. No recurring mess. Just real results.

Reclaim your property from Poison Hemlock and keep your family and pets safe.

What We Offer: Hemlock Eradication Through Targeted Treatment

We don’t mow (which spreads dangerous particles).

We don’t dig (which disturbs the seed bank).

We don’t risk your health.

Instead, we apply a targeted treatment that is absorbed through the foliage, traveling deep into the plant’s taproot system—killing the hemlock from the inside out.

Within 30 days, the hemlock is fully dead, including the root system.

This Is Not a Temporary Fix

Most attempts at Poison Hemlock removal fail because they rely on mowing or cutting. This is dangerous—it releases toxic particulate into the air and often scatters thousands of seeds, making the problem worse next year.

With our approach:

• The taproot system is killed entirely

• The plant is stopped before it can seed

• The hemlock doesn’t grow back next season

And you get a guarantee that backs it up

But What About the Dead Plants?

Great question. You might be thinking:

“If they kill the hemlock, won’t I just have a patch of dead stalks?”

Yes—and that’s exactly what you want.

Trying to cut or pull live Poison Hemlock is when the risk of burns and poisoning is highest, as the plants are heavy with toxic sap.

Once the hemlock is treated and dead, the sap dries out and the biological danger is significantly reduced. The stalks become brittle and can be removed safely at your convenience—just once—without the heavy, sap-filled weight of live plants.

This isn’t a seasonal trim or suppression service.

It’s a permanent safety solution.

What Happens If You Work With Us?

  1. You contact us. Quick response. No pressure. Quote fast.

  2. We show up. One visit. On time, respectful, and professional.

  3. We treat the hemlock. It begins dying within days—fully dead in 30.

  4. If any shoots regrow after 60 days, we re-treat for free.

  5. You’re done. No regrowth. No dangerous seeds. No reappearance next spring.

The hemlock is gone. The roots are dead. And you’re finally free of the risk.

Why Not Just Weed Whack It?

Weed whacking or mowing is the worst thing you can do with Poison Hemlock.

It aerosolizes the toxic sap, which can be inhaled or land on your skin, causing severe reactions. Furthermore, it scatters mature seeds, guaranteeing the infestation will be twice as bad next year.

Our method is:

• Safer for the operator and homeowner

• Stops the seed cycle immediately

• Gentler on your landscape

• Backed by a guarantee

• And dramatically less dangerous than manual removal

You don’t need to risk your health.

You need eradication.

This Is the End of Your Hemlock Problem

We get it—Poison Hemlock isn’t just annoying; it’s dangerous. That’s why we take it seriously—and why we guarantee our results.

If you’ve been worrying about kids or pets near a hemlock invasion—or dreading the danger of clearing it yourself—just reach out.

We’ll show you a better, safer way.
