Finally: A Simple, Effective Way to Eradicate Spurge Laurel

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

Get in there with gloves. Yank it out. Risk the toxic sap. Repeat every time it grows back.

But what if that wasn’t true?

At Ascent Yard Care, we offer a smarter, safer solution—a proven treatment that kills Spurge Laurel right down to the deep taproot.

No risk of skin burns. No disturbing the soil bank. No impact to pollinators, pets, or wildlife.

No excavation. No spreading toxic sap. Just real results.

What We Offer: Spurge Laurel Eradication Through Targeted Treatment

We don’t dig.

We don’t bring in a backhoe.

We don’t risk your safety.

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

Within weeks, the shrub is fully dead, including the root.

⸻

This Is Not a Temporary Fix

Most attempts at Spurge Laurel removal fail because they don’t address the deep taproot. If you simply cut the top, it enters survival mode and sprouts back aggressively. If you dig it, you risk breaking roots that regrow—and exposing yourself to sap that causes blistering rashes.

With our approach:

The root system is killed entirely

New shoots stop emerging

The plant doesn’t grow back next season

And you get a guarantee that backs it up

⸻

But What About the Dead Shrubs?

Great question. You might be thinking:

“If they kill the Spurge Laurel, won’t I just have a patch of dead sticks?”

Yes—and that’s exactly what you want.

Once Spurge Laurel is dead, the toxic flow stops. The stems dry out, become brittle, and can be cut down—just once—without fear of regrowth or live sap exposure.

We provide cutting and removal services to get rid of the dead biomass for you, or you can clear it yourself safely once the plant is dead.

It is cut down just once—without fear of regrowth.

This isn’t a seasonal trim or suppression service.

It’s a permanent solution.

What Happens If You Work With Us?

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

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

We treat the Spurge Laurel. It begins dying within days—fully dead in 30.

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

You’re done. No regrowth. No toxic sap. No berries spreading seeds.

The plant is gone. The roots are dead. And you’re finally free of it.

⸻

Why Not Just Pull It?

Hand-pulling is the traditional method—but it’s dangerous and rarely successful.

Spurge Laurel sap is caustic and can cause severe skin irritation and chemical burns. Furthermore, snapping the stem leaves the root behind to regenerate.

Our method is:

Safer for you and your family

Faster

Cleaner

Gentler on your landscape

Backed by a guarantee

You don’t need to risk a rash.

You need eradication.
