Sustainable Land Clearing

Clearing an area for your upcoming project can be a pain. It takes forever. The tools to properly cut down or uproot the tougher plants can be loud or expensive, and improper handling of equipment can be harmful to the environment, but we know of an option that has none of those negative and so many more positives. Our method of land clearing is not only sustainable but effective: goats.

Who doesn’t love goats? They’re cute, funny looking, and entertaining to watch, but they also eat all kinds of plants, even difficult ones like poison ivy, brambles, and thistles, reducing the need for harmful herbicides and other pollutants. Don’t worry though, to give you peace of mind, an electric fence can be temporarily put up to be sure nothing but the weeds will be touched. Plus, when they excrete the seeds, they’re typically unable to grow, so you can safely leave it for free fertilizer! They can also work on most any kind of terrain, so if you need a large area of land cleared of vegetation, rent a herd of goats and it’ll all be gone in a matter of days.

With how thorough goats are when eating, you won’t be disappointed with the results! With the area cleared of excess vegetation, the area will be fully open for your use, as well as improving sightlines, increasing sun coverage, and getting rid of pests like ticks and mosquitoes. You’d also be doing the environment a favor by lessening biomass for fires if you’re in a dry area and potentially thinning out invasive populations.

We sincerely hope that you’ll consider goats for your land clearing needs in the future! They offer so many benefits with so few negatives. They’re quite entertaining to watch, what’s not to love?
