Clearing

[Anonymous]

I would like to hire someone to clear out the jungle of weeds and ivy along my fence line so I can plant natives.
Any recommendations for someone to hire for this work?

Depending how big the area is, you might want to hire goats.

9:57 again. When I looked into this it didn’t make any sense for me because I had such a tiny (poison ivy) invested space, but it might make sense for you if the space is big enough and if there’s enough. https://browsinggreengoats.com/

I usually ask the guys who mow the grass if they are willing to do such jobs .

Usually, NextDoor is good for finding handyman types that can do this sort of thing. Or an out of work neighbor, or a college kid looking to make a few bucks.

“Goat person” again. The unique advantage to the goats is that they really pick it clean and their droppings act as fertilizer as they feed the microbiome, plus their digestive system inactivates the seeds they eat so you get fewer weeds in your new native bed next year.

There are probably thousands of landscapers in this area, from big companies with websites to individuals you can pick up outside of Home Depot and everyone in between. Just ask a neighbor.
