How Does it Work?
Step 1: Email us with descriptions and pictures (if available) of your problem growth or just give us a call!
We can setup a convenient time to stop by and see the area for quoting purposes and where the goats would be best placed. I will also provide information about my electric fencing, delivering my goats and the general do’s and don’ts of having my eating machines on your property.
We offer free estimates and the average cost for a 1 acre job (5 days of goat action) is between $1,000 and $1,500.
Step 2: Finalize the details with us and submit the signed contract! We will work with you on when the best day and time is to start. I will be on-site 1-2 days beforehand to set up the fencing. As soon as it is secure, I will truck in the goats and you are welcome to a ringside seat for their deployment!
Step 3: Sit back, relax, and let the goats do their job. Afterwards, enjoy your new view!
Why Hire Goats?
#1: Chemicals, big heavy equipment, pollution - - why risk your slice of heaven with things you can control?
#2: Goats enjoy the nooks and crannies that equipment can not get to. They munch for what seems to be more than 24 hours in a day only leaving fertilizer. The average weight of my goats is about 75 lbs - pure munching machines! They tend to focus on the plants that are undesired by us.
#3: You are helping a local business! My goats love new places and they can devour poison ivy like champs. Personally, I am highly allergic to Virginia Creeper and now I no longer have to worry that I will accidentally brush up against it on my property.
#4: You can watch them work! Their quirky personalities will shine through daily. Don’t let their cute, friendly demeanor fool you - they have a job to do - let them eat that delicious brush so you don’t have to handle it.
Fun Fact
“Goatscaping” has been used all around the USA and the biggest names are the National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, and Google! Not only does it keep these companies (and others) with a better bottom line, it also provides the public a sneak peek into their corporate ethical efforts to help drive a better, greener earth.
