Finally: A Simple, Effective Way to Eradicate St. John’s Wort

You’ve probably been told there’s only one way to get rid of St. John’s Wort:

Pull it out. Mow it down. Dig up the roots. Repeat every season.

But what if that wasn’t true?

At Ascent Yard Care, we offer a smarter, easier solution—a proven wildlife-safe treatment that kills St. John’s Wort right down to the root system.

No impact to surrounding trees or shrubs. No soil disturbance that triggers new seeds. No impact to pollinators, pets, or wildlife.

No back-breaking pulling. No endless mowing. Just real results.

What We Offer: St. John’s Wort Eradication Through Targeted Treatment

We don’t dig.

We don’t mow and spread the seeds.

We don’t tear up your pasture or garden beds.

Instead, we apply a targeted treatment that is absorbed through the leaves and stems, traveling deep into the plant’s extensive root system—killing the St. John’s Wort from the inside out.

Within 30 days, the infestation is fully dead, including the lateral roots that cause it to spread.

This Is Not a Temporary Fix

Most attempts at St. John’s Wort removal fail because they don’t address the root system or the seed bank. This plant spreads aggressively via underground rhizomes and seeds. Mowing only stimulates the roots to grow denser, and pulling often leaves fragments behind that resprout.

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 Stalks?

Great question. You might be thinking:

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

Yes—and that’s exactly what you want.

Once St. John’s Wort is dead, it stops spreading forever. The stalks dry out, become brittle, and naturally decompose. Unlike live plants, which are tough and woody, the dead material can be easily mowed or mulched over at your convenience without risk of spreading live root fragments.

This isn’t a seasonal trim or suppression service.

It’s a permanent 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 infestation. 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 creeping roots. No reappearance next spring.

The St. John’s Wort 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 labor-intensive and rarely successful for established infestations.

St. John’s Wort roots can grow deep and wide, and even a small piece left behind will regrow. Furthermore, disturbing the soil by digging often brings dormant seeds to the surface, actually increasing the infestation the following year.

Our method is:

• Faster

• Cleaner

• Gentler on your landscape

• Backed by a guarantee

• Dramatically less disruptive than excavation

You don’t need destruction. You need eradication.

This Is the End of Your St. John’s Wort Problem

We get it—St. John’s Wort is invasive, stubborn, and can be toxic to livestock. That’s why we take it seriously—and why we guarantee our results.
