We called OLD GOAT Land services to come and clean out my daughter’s land in preparation for a horse pasture. It was a Christmas present to her. Our time frame was tight as we wanted to be there when the estimate was given. They came on 12/26/24 at the time they said they would. We discussed quite a bit of work including removing some old junk that had been left in a huge pile by the previous owners. Some trees were removed, brush cleaned out and now the area looks fantastic. It took a little more time than we planned due to weather making the area inaccessible, but they were patient with us and followed through as soon as they were able. They were reasonably priced and honest. I highly recommend them. Wayne Yankee2025-02-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Did a great job clearing brush in our 10 acre plot. They made it easy to traverse and use as hiking trails. David Shortt2025-02-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jim, is very knowledgeable and reviewed the work to be performed. Very professional and excellent work. Highly recommend his service.

How much does land clearing cost?
Costs vary based on acreage, terrain, and job complexity. We provide upfront, flat-rate quotes—never by the hour—so you know exactly what to expect.
Do you handle permits or regulations?
Yes! We offer ongoing lawn care, plant maintenance, irrigation management, and seasonal updates to keep your outdoor space looking beautiful year-round.

Forestry mulching is faster, eco-friendly, and leaves nutrient-rich mulch behind. Traditional clearing removes everything but may require hauling debris. We’ll recommend the best method for your goals.

Most jobs (1–5 acres) take 1–3 days, but we’ll give you a timeline after assessing your land. Weather or unexpected obstacles may adjust this slightly.

These guys cleared 5 acres of thick brush in half the time I expected. Their equipment is no joke, and they left my property looking better than I imagined. Worth every penny!

Finally, a crew that shows up on time and does what they promise! Fixed my drainage issues and installed a gravel driveway that hasn’t washed out in two years. Old Goat delivers.

I’ve hired other land services—none matched Old Goat’s hustle. They mulched my overgrown fence lines and even hauled off the junk pile I’d ignored for years. Call them first.
