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:

Dig it up. Tear it out. Haul away the roots. Repeat forever.

But what if that wasn’t true?

At Ascent Yard Care, we offer a smarter, easier solution—a proven, wildlife-safe treatment that kills spurge laurel right down to the root system.

No impact to surrounding plants. No impact to the soil. No impact to pollinators, pets or wildlife.

No excavation. No endless digging. No recurring mess. Just real results.

Why Spurge Laurel Is Different—and Dangerous

Spurge laurel isn’t just invasive. It’s also toxic.

• Poisonous sap and berries can cause nausea, vomiting, and blistering skin irritation.
• It’s harmful to children, pets, and livestock.
• Its spread through woodlands and gardens displaces native plants and damages ecosystems.

Leaving it untreated means leaving a toxic hazard in your yard—and it always comes back if not properly eradicated.

Reclaim your property from spurge laurel and keep it clear for good.

What We Offer: Targeted Spurge Laurel Treatment

We don’t dig.

We don’t rip up your landscape.

We don’t leave behind toxic debris.

Instead, we apply a targeted treatment absorbed through the leaves and stems, traveling deep into the root system—killing the spurge laurel from the inside out.

Within 30 days, the plant is dead—roots and all.

This Is Not a Temporary Fix

Most attempts at removal fail because they don’t address the underground root system. Cutting spurge laurel only makes it spread faster.

With our approach:

• The entire root system is killed
• New shoots stop emerging
• The plant doesn’t grow back next season
• And you get a guarantee that backs it up

What About the Dead Shrubs?

Great question. You might be thinking:

“If they kill it, won’t I just have a patch of dead plants?”

Yes—and that’s exactly what you want.

Once spurge laurel is dead, it stops being toxic and invasive. The dried remains can be removed safely at your convenience—without fear of regrowth.

This isn’t suppression.

It’s a permanent solution.

What Happens If You Work With Us?

1. You contact us. Quick response. No pressure. Fast quote.
2. We show up. One visit. On time, respectful, professional.
3. We treat the spurge laurel. It begins dying within days—fully dead in 30.
4. We guarantee it. If any shoots regrow after 60 days, we re-treat for free.
5. You’re done. No regrowth. No toxic hazard. No reappearance next spring.

The spurge laurel is gone. The roots are dead. And your property is finally safe.

Why Not Just Dig It Out?

Digging is the traditional method—but it’s brutal, expensive, and rarely successful.

• Even small root fragments will regrow
• Disturbed soil spreads seeds further
• Handling the toxic plant material is unsafe

Our method is:

• Faster
• Cleaner
• Safer for people and pets
• Backed by a guarantee
• And dramatically less invasive than excavation

You don’t need destruction.

You need eradication.
