Also, after several application of herbicide such as round up, would a concrete slab keep the ivy at bay?
You can burn it out.
Use a weed torch that you can hook to a small propane cylinder. I drink lots of beer, then urinate on it! If it proves to be too tough for this treatment, start drinking the thorny stuff!


No, you can hold on to pulling it out but, dispose of it properly (bag it and put in the trash). You will have to be diligent because it's complicated to eliminate. I found that roundup wasn't great on Ivy. I ended up hiring some laborers to a moment ago dig it all out by the roots (after wet the soil), and it didn't come back.
Answers:    Pulling it up is probably the best track to make sure it's gone. Just be sure to wear gloves (preferably rubber ones) and long sleeves, and be careful not to contaminate yourself!
